Gearbox probably began working on the next Borderlands game but that won’t stop them to focus on other projects such as their newly announced game mysteriously titled Project 1v1.
“Project 1v1 is the code name for Gearbox’s top-secret, in-development, competitive first-person shooter that combines the action of fast-paced 1v1 first-person combat with the metagame strategy of a collectible card game,” reads the description on the game’s official website.
The website for the above mentioned game also depicts some screenshot that hints towards a Doom-like atmosphere or a sci-fi setting.
“Project 1v1 will be holding a short Closed Technical Test this summer. We are looking for a limited number of players to test the online infrastructure and learn what players like you think about the game in order to inform and influence future development. The test will be held on North American servers, so international players may experience decreased performance.”

There will be three modes available in the game namely Ranked, to play against an opponent based on player rating and you can “win ranked matches to earn experience and crates containing new cards”, Challenge, for playing against friends, and Arena, to “challenge the current Arena champion – and win to take their place”.
