Watch On
Project Spectrum is an upcoming “tactical thriller shooter” revealed tonight at Gamescom’s Opening Night Live that sets players off into Ember Zones, where “unspeakable horrors await.”
I’ll cut right to the chase: There’s not a whole lot to go on here.
Project Spectrum is a “physiological horror PvEvP game, where you battle against monsters, other players, and your own sanity, as widespread anomalies twist around the world,” ONL host Geoff Keighley said, and you can see that in the trailer: A special ops team descends into a haunted house of some sort, and after things go rather badly a lone survivor is asked, “What if you are the beast?”
An interesting proposition indeed, which takes us back to the house and a spooky transformation into some kind of interdimensional spider, which then seemingly gives the business to another spec ops guy. Why? It’s hard to tell.
Project Spectrum isn’t currently on Steam but there is a website up at spectrum-project, which unfortunately doesn’t have much to see either.
We do know, however, that the game is being developed by Team Jade, the studio behind the popular Delta Force reboot, and I think that makes it worth paying attention to.
Delta Force has a “mixed” user rating on Steam, but it’s also routinely pulling in well over 100,000 concurrent players every day, so it sure seems like Team Jade is doing something right. If they can bring that same magic to Project Spectrum, who knows? It could prove to be a surprise banger.
