Ubisoft has just announced a new co-op shooter, Project U.
Almost nothing is known about the upcoming game, which was announced today, but Ubisoft has already opened registration for its upcoming playtests.
“Codename ‘Project U’ explores a new concept of session-based co-op shooter, where many players unite to prevail against an overwhelming threat!” says the game’s official announcement.
The game is currently in early development, with the first PC-only closed playtest taking place in western Europe.
Although the game will be entirely in English, the company is encouraging players from across Europe to get involved and will be available in France, Germany, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Austria, Switzerland, Portugal, Spain, and Italy.
“We’d love to play with you and gather your valuable feedback in order to improve the game experience and steer production in the right direction!” said Ubisoft.

This isn’t the first time recently that Ubisoft has announced a new project with a playtest. The upcoming Project Q, a team battle arena game that isn’t a battle royale, was announced in much the same way.
Other than the game’s registration page, there’s very little to go on when it comes to Project U. However, it does feature some artwork that depicts an armored team of players making a standoff against a colossal horde of angular, machine-like enemies.
Whether this means we should expect a horde-mode style of gameplay remains to be seen. Either way, it looks like an interesting addition to Ubisoft’s line-up, and we’ll be popping our names down ASAP.
