Spectre Divide Is Counter-Strike Meets Freaky Friday

Mountaintop Studios just revealed Spectre Divide, which is a 3v3 tactical shooter. It plays a lot like Counter-Strike, but with a twist: Players can control two players simultaneously.

Like many other tactical shooters, one team will defend while another will attack and try to plant a bomb. As explained by Mountaintop Studios game director Lee Horn, the game’s defining feature is called “duality.” This will allow them to control a second body that’s referred to as a Spectre. Players will be able to switch between the two at any given moment.

To help with the game’s competitive scene, the studio partnered with Shroud, a YouTuber with a big presence in the competitive community, to be the lead gameplay advisor. Co-founder and CEO Nate Mitchell said that the studio consists of 70 and will be self-publishing.

Similarly to other tactical shooters like Valorant, players can use special abilities. These include the power to teleport across the map, throw up shields, look through walls, and more.

Spectre Divide doesn’t have a release date yet, but it will be playable on PC when it launches. You can wishlist it now on Steam and request access to participate in its stress test.
