Watch On
Undertaking Spectrum is an upcoming “tactical thriller shooter” revealed tonight at Gamescom’s Opening Night time Dwell that units gamers off into Ember Zones, the place “unspeakable horrors await.”
I am going to minimize proper to the chase: There’s not a complete lot to go on right here. Undertaking Spectrum is a “physiological horror PvEvP sport, the place you battle in opposition to monsters, different gamers, and your individual sanity, as widespread anomalies twist world wide,” ONL host Geoff Keighley mentioned, and you’ll see that within the trailer: A particular ops crew descends right into a haunted home of some kind, and after issues go moderately badly a lone survivor is requested, “What in case you are the beast?”
An attention-grabbing proposition certainly, which takes us again to the home and a spooky transformation into some form of interdimensional spider, which then seemingly provides the enterprise to a different spec ops man. Why? It is arduous to inform.

In a subsequent press launch, developer Workforce Jade—the studio behind the Delta Drive reboot—revealed just a little bit extra in regards to the sport, which takes place in a world devastated by a “radiant, reality-warping power” referred to as the Ember.
“The whole lot it touches—cities, landscapes, even life itself—is remodeled in unknowable methods, abandoning harmful areas referred to as Ember Zones,” the studio mentioned. “Gamers take the function of an Operator, main high-risk missions into Ember Zones—recruiting and managing a customizable squad of elite Brokers, who they in the end play as to acquire intelligence, neutralize threats, and uncover the secrets and techniques of the Ember.
“Each second within the sport is extremely dynamic as gamers face monstrosities created by the Ember, different hostile Brokers, and the psychological tolls imposed by the twisted atmosphere. Gamers should struggle again via constructing and customizing their Brokers, using coordinated crew synergy, environmental consciousness, and artistic, improvised merchandise crafting — all whereas remaining aware of their Sanity, an important useful resource that depletes simply, and of Executioners roaming the world: highly effective beings with unmatched agility and power managed by different gamers.”
Undertaking Spectrum is not presently on Steam however there’s a web site up at spectrum-project, which sadly would not have a lot to see both. However I believe Workforce Jade’s participation makes it price listening to. Delta Drive has a “blended” consumer ranking on Steam, nevertheless it’s additionally routinely pulling in nicely over 100,000 concurrent gamers daily, so it positive looks like the builders are doing one thing proper. If they will deliver that very same magic to Undertaking Spectrum, who is aware of? It may show to be a shock banger.
