Ubisoft quickly addressed leaks about an upcoming game called “Project Q” by confirming its existence and inviting video game fans to register for upcoming tests. Unlike what the leaks suggested, though, the publisher said the game is not battle royale and assured fans it is not planning on integrating NFTs.
Information provided on “Project Q” is scarce, but Ubisoft described it as a “team battle arena” and noted that it is still in early development. While there is no release window announced yet, the publisher is already accepting registrations from players who want to participate in upcoming tests for the game. Based on the sign-up page, the game is being developed for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. But it is unclear if the game will eventually launch on all these platforms, especially if its launch is not happening anytime soon.
Ubisoft has been one of the major video game companies with active plans to launch gaming-focused NFTs. The publisher even launched its own platform Quartz, where playable NFTs called Digits can be traded. But Ubisoft said in a series of tweets, “We don't have plans to add NFTs to this game.” It remains to be seen if that changes in the future.
The company also clarified that “Project Q” is not going to be another battle royale game. “By the way, this is not a Battle Royale,” Ubisoft said in another post. “The game will feature a variety of PvP modes with one single goal in mind: FUN!”
The clarification comes after leaker Tom Henderson reported via eXputer that “Project Q” will have two game modes, including “Showdown” that will feature a battle royale-like gameplay but will be participated by four teams of duos only. The second game mode is called “Battle Zone” described as a battle arena gameplay, where two teams of four players will compete and be the first to reach a score of 100 that can be earned by controlling certain zones on the map.
Ubisoft has not announced a start date for the “Project Q” tests, but Henderson’s report later included a playtest video that has more than 9 minutes of action. The leaker cited eight sources who confirmed the game’s existence before Ubisoft’s announcement and noted that it is being developed by Ubisoft Bordeaux.
