Remember Ubisoft's Project U? The renowned game developer and publisher first confirmed this project back in September 2022, opening Closed Beta registrations right away and sharing preliminary PC system requirements.
A couple of weeks later, the first leaks appeared, and insider Tom Henderson shared some details on Project U. Players will be able to select one of four classes, including Attacker, Defender, Medic, and Support, which will be equipped with unique abilities. The goal is to work together to progress toward the center of the map by completing a series of objectives, such as capturing areas, defending targets, and, of course, defeating AI-controlled foes. Interestingly, Henderson mentioned the game is powered by the open source Godot Engine instead of Ubisoft's own Anvil or Snowdrop engines.
