Gearbox has just unveiled a new game it’s been working on. This game, called Project 1v1, is a competitive first-person shooter that promises to combine the action of fast-paced 1v1 first-person combat with the metagame strategy of a collectible card game.
Gearbox has not revealed any additional details as of yet, apart from a closed technical test that will go live later this Summer. This test will feature three game modes: Ranked, Challenge, and Arena. Moreover, the test will be held on North American servers, so international players may experience decreased performance.
In Ranked matches, players will get matched with an opponent based on player rating. Players will earn experience and crates containing new cards as they win ranked matches.
In Challenge mode, players will challenge a friend to an unranked match and in the Arena, players will be queued up to challenge the current Arena champion – and win to take their place.

Wow that’s just the kind of game I’ve been waiting for…said not one gamer ever.
a 1v1 gun on gun game? there would be A TON of people into that, just not by gearbox
“collectible card game ” ie; more money to be made via MT’s or RNG methods.
Whenever I hear “collectible” these days in gaming, it usually means something RNG based or with MT’s, sometimes both.
Just like BB it will flop and it will flop hard. The card game market has been saturated enough as it is and mixing one genre with another doesn’t always work and hasn’t really worked that well for many games over the years, with few exceptions being Rocket league as one example.
I wonder if they always intended to announce their card game today, or if Valve teasing their DOTA card game forced their hand.
Either way, it’s a hilarious situation they now find themselves in; trying to launch a card game within the same time period as CDPR & Valve both (which have actual fanbases that they can attempt to convert into trading card gamers, unlike Sh*tbox), all while also having to compete with Hearthstone & Elder Scrolls: Legends.
Wow. I should really look into investing in shovels, this hole is going to be huge.
It’s amazing how MTG coming back would spur so many “me too” companies in such a short time.
Funny thing is, hardly many of them so far have yet to completely dominate MTG both casual and hardcore scene, especially in terms of public knowledge. I’ve noticed that MTG somehow manages to make it into almost any kind of game/anime con in existence and all it takes is a small crowd to show up with a few cards and a table. You won’t get that with Gwent or those other card games.
Sh*t, half of these companies probably figure they’ve got the next Pokemon or Yu-Gi-Oh! on their hands, something they can milk for the next 20 years with minimal effort…..
All I see is yet another fad that’ll disappear within half a decade, maximum. Of course, sure, in the meantime, a few of them will probably make about 1/10th of what Hearthstone is (unfortunately) generating for Blizzard (assuming they’re even that fortunate), which is plenty enough unto itself, absolutely, but LOL, as per usual, the other half are just going to crash & find themselves crying over it like a bunch of little b*tches.
Which is really what they all deserve, to be honest.
What a f*cking joke.
Man I miss the Yu-Gi-Oh! days, back when it was actually something worth playing. now it’s also gone to crap with how Konami has handled the physical IP as well as digital.
I know, right. And I actually liked GX, the addition of Fusion cards was interesting & kind-of natural, it felt like they were extending & refining the vanilla rules, so, okay, sure, why not. They even threw in that Yugi cameo, so the whole thing came off as relatively respectful – in my opinion, at least. But then they added those ridiculous motorbikes & those synchronisation cards with 5D & the whole thing just went to sh*t, the now moronic the anime, the cards, everything.
Even Pokemon, have you seen the monster designs lately? They’re f*cking hideous. And the graphics in the games, too, ever since Nintardo’s 3D graphics mania got going, they’ve lost their historic sprite visuals in favour of this hideous low-grade 3D bullsh*t.
Thank god someone who knows when to use IT’S and when to use ITS.
It’s its. Its it’s its. It’s so “its”, it’s not even “its.”
I mean, seriously, it can’t possibly be it, it has to be its. Otherwise, what else could it possibly be to it? Other than it being its own thing, that is.
oh wow, another dead on arrival game frome meme-box….. i guess there trying to rip off keystone now.
no. i honestly think randy is trying to bankrupt the company at this point.
In which case, so long & good riddance to both of them.
Or maybe they think Borderlands 3 will pull them out of the sh*tter, no matter how deep they get? I mean, they’re definitely stupid enough to.
>competitive first-person shooter
From Gearbox? Ha, good luck with that.
This sounds like distilled cancer.
“Distilled” being generous.
Gearbox… huh… Will the cards look like nothing they were supposed to look like as well?
didn’t gearbox kick the bucket a decade ago?
oh right, they were the company who’s been making $hitty games for the past decade
and their only achivement as a studio is the brothers in arms series
and over-rated borderlands franchise
If you flop hard enough you’ll land on your feet… let them keep testing my theory.
The end is near Randy. Prepare to be judged for your lies and other sins.
