Over the past few years, he has voiced an interest in developing FPS games and even announced plans to be part of other game dev projects. On August 1, 2024, Shroud revealed he had been working on a tactical FPS game in secret for the past two years, and now, he’s letting fans in on the fun.

Following some early playtesting, we now have a number of details regarding Spectre Divide. Here’s everything we know including its release date, system requirements, and more.

Does Spectre Divide have a release date?

Spectre Divide has been given an official release date and is set to launch on September 3, 2024. The news came after a successful closed beta test that drew plenty of praise.

Coupled with the announcement was a new gameplay trailer that showed off more of the impressive gunplay, unique tools, and artistic flare that gripped players in the beta.

Is Spectre Divide free to play?

Yes, Spectre Divide will be a free-to-play game, and the subsequent playtests and Closed Beta will be free for players to access.

The game will be available on Steam and you can now put it on your wishlist or request early access.

Spectre Divide Platforms

Currently, Spectre Divide is only available to play on PC.

The devs have not announced any plans to bring it to consoles and it looks like it will be exclusive to PC for the foreseeable future.

Spectre Divide gameplay details

Spectre Divide is a 3v3 tactical shooter. Playing in your classic defusal mode, attackers will need to control a bomb site and plant, and defenders will need to defend bomb sites or retake them to defuse the bomb.

The catch is that all players will have a Duality. A Duality is another body you can control, meaning you can place your Duality on one site and be at the other site so you can rotate fast. It also means you effectively have two lives.

Being a tactical shooter, the gunplay will be very important, as the devs describe it as having “true-to-crosshair” accuracy.

There will be characters you can choose from, each having their own unique abilities and utilities. There is also a shop you can buy weapons from at the start of every round.
