The somewhat troubled developer “Gearbox” will indeed show a new multiplayer shooter at E3 2018, Project 1v1. There will probably be no trace of Borderlands 3. The game is highly anticipated.
Gearbox – the troubled heavyweight at E3 2018: The studio Gearbox has not had a lucky hand in recent years. A lot has been invested in the project “Battleborn.” However, it has failed catastrophically. It is considered one of the biggest video game flops of recent years, alongside Evolve.
What is Project 1v1? At the fair E3 2018, Gearbox wants to show a new shooter. It is called “Project 1v1.” This is supposed to be a “multiplayer shooter and card game” hybrid. The game is a competitive first-person shooter that combines fast combat from a first-person perspective with strategic decisions in a collectible card game, it is said.
New game is not under a good star
Sounds familiar: A similarly named project had the Warframe developer Digital Extremes announced, but then abandoned. They simply found no market for their mix of shooter and card game “The Amazing Eternal.” Therefore, Gearbox’s “Project 1v1” is already under strange signs.
Game to be shown behind closed doors: As reported by vg247, the new game from Gearbox is supposed to receive a presentation at E3, but the demonstration will take place behind closed doors. No images are to be released; instead, editors will only describe gameplay impressions. One will probably also learn a name, as “Project 1v1” is only a preliminary working title.
Borderlands 3 searched desperately: Meanwhile, Gearbox is sending mixed signals to fans of Borderlands 3:
- They do convey that they are working on the game
- However, they have not officially announced it yet
- And it now sounds like it has been postponed again, even though it was not announced
Fans will have to get through this E3 without an announcement of Borderlands 3. However, there is still more to see for shooter fans at E3. These will be the 6 shooter highlights of E3 2018
