New details have come to the surface about Mountaintop Studios' exciting new game.In an article over on Insider Gaming, new information was provided about the new game, including information about some of its core game mechanics and where it stands in its development stage at the moment.
Mountaintop Studios, a relatively new game development company, was founded by Oculus co-founder Nate Mitchell in 2020. The studio is brewing something extraordinary in the world of competitive shooters. Titled ‘Spectre,’ this game brings together developers from renowned studios like Riot, Blizzard, Naughty Dog, Epic, Respawn, Ubisoft, and Raven, creating a powerhouse of creativity and expertise.
The game was teased earlier this year onMountaintop Studios’ official YouTube Channel.
‘Spectre’ is not your typical 3v3 competitive shooter; it introduces a groundbreaking mechanic called ‘Duality.’ This innovative feature allows players to control two bodies in the game, with the second body aptly named the ‘Spectre.’ Players can strategically deploy a spawn marker, seamlessly transitioning between their primary character and the Spectre. This ‘Duality’ mechanic introduces a high-skill gap, requiring players to master the maps and angles of two characters, setting ‘Spectre’ apart from traditional competitive shooters.
Currently in its 3rd alpha playtest, ‘Spectre’ has received overwhelmingly positive feedback. Despite a familiar round-based structure akin to CS:GO and Valorant, the game’s unique mechanic promises endless moments of excitement and strategic depth. While Mountaintop Studios' esports ambitions for ‘Spectre’ remain unclear, the gameplay suggests a strong potential for establishing a presence in the competitive gaming scene.
Featuring eight individual characters, each with unique abilities, ‘Spectre’ offers a diverse and dynamic gaming experience reminiscent of popular titles like Valorant. With playtests currently exclusive to PC, the question of the game’s console availability adds another layer of anticipation for fans eagerly awaiting its release.
Stay tuned as we unravel more details about ‘Spectre,’ the game that could redefine the competitive gaming landscape. Explore the possibilities, discover the characters, and witness the emergence of a potential esports phenomenon brought to you by the visionaries at Mountaintop Studios!
