A mysterious new session-based co-operative shooter has been introduced by Ubisoft, codenamed Project U. There aren’t many particulars to go on simply but, however the recreation is within the early phases of improvement and can maintain closed playtests on PC in Western Europe. If you’re of an inquiring thoughts, and like hanging out with mates in shooter lobbies, then all you are able to do for the second is register your curiosity.
