Spectre is set in the near future city of Breakwater, where the unsanctioned competition of “Santai” is the pinnacle of achievement and status. In Spectre, there are no predetermined characters—this is your climb to champion. Create your own pair of competitors and forge a legacy through combat, competition, and community.

Spectre Divide is a competitive 3v3 tactical FPS that advances the genre forward with Duality, a mechanic that intuitively keeps players engaged in the small team format. While there are three players per team, every player will control a “Spectre”, a second body they can freely swap between in real-time. This deepens the tactical options available during a gunfight, allowing players to protect both points in the game's take on classic Attacker/Defender bombsite defusal, quickly cover teammates by switching to the body nearest to them, and more.

Control two bodies in real-time, letting you defend two sites at once, cover your own cross, or even trade yourself. Duality is an entirely new vector for mastery, bringing a new dimension to tac shooter fundamentals. 

It also gives them an opportunity for redemption when one body is defeated.

Spectre Divide honors the titles that have come before it by blazing a brilliant new path for the genre. The team’s pedigree includes decades of combined experience on titles like Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Valorant, Apex Legends, Overwatch, Call of Duty, and Halo. That pedigree drives design that exemplifies Mountaintop Studios’ desire to foster incredible communities and bring players together through unforgettable challenges. Further, Mountaintop is collaborating with genre experts like Shroud who, after taking a gameplay consultant role, has brought a heft of experience that helped turn Spectre Divide into a high-paced squad-based shooter that is immediately ready to join the competitive fray.

Master tactical gunplay and an arsenal of future tech to achieve infamy.

Mountaintop Studios is happy to announce that Spectre Divide will release through Steam Early Access on September 3rd.

Early Access Features:

• Competitive 3v3 Driven by Duality - Compete with your squad in a ZEUS defusal mode on 2 sites, where Duality and tactical gunplay are essential to securing the win.
• Sponsors - Sponsors are powerful organizations that enable the unsanctioned sport of Santai to thrive. They supply the different kits of future tech you can use in combat—like the Partition, Splinter Grenade, Nano Sphere, and much more. Each supports different styles of play, especially when paired with Duality, so give each a try. There will be 8 Sponsor kits available at launch, with 4 available immediately, and 4 to unlock via Fame (your in-game experience) or immediately using Spectre Points.
• Forge Your Legacy (Character Creation) - Personalize your own pair of Santai competitors and live their journey to Champion. Head to the Locker to change faces and equip unique outfits for both bodies. Access outfit options from the Store—and in the future, a seasonal Battlepass.
• Weapons - Weapons are bought in mixed pairs with a different gun for each body. You can hold the long-angle with a rifle and swap to cover your own back with a shotgun. Choose from fixed pairs of weapons at the start of a round, with power and capability that changes across 5 tiers. Get the most from your loadout with true-to-crosshair accuracy that lets you hone in on that headshot with ADS. See the loadout for yourself on our Weapons page.
• Maps - Queue into any match and you’ll randomly drop into one of the available maps at launch, all designed with Duality in mind and a peek into the world of Spectre Divide. See our maps page for a closer look.
• Ranked - Etch your name into the records as a Santai Champion, as a Team or Solo. Ranked matchmaking arrives soon after launch and we’ll make sure you come in prepared with all the details you need to start your climb.
• Custom Matches - Run customs with your friends or organize a tournament from the ground up.
• Rotating Store -Stand out from other Santai competitors with a premium look and earn the love of the crowd. Select weapon skin bundles, along with outfits for yourself and your Spectre. No loot boxes, no pay-to-win —100 percent optional.
• Progression - Progress while you play. The Endorsement system for Sponsors, weapons, and outfits is a way to earn free content like Sponsors, Banners, Sprays, and Charms. Head to the Sponsor or Locker tab to find and activate an Endorsement, and complete Weekly and Daily Contracts to earn Fame (a.k.a. XP) toward your selected unlock path.
• Create a Legacy with Crews - Chase seasonal rewards together with Crews. Crews is a weekly, engagement-based competition, where teams of 50-60 players compete to score the most points and move up the leaderboard. After completing your first three matches you’ll automatically join a Crew based on best overall fit. The more active the Crew, the more points you earn towards your Crew Rank among all Spectre Divide players. The Crews system rewards engagement and not raw shooter skill, so anyone can compete and win.  Build the strongest Crew and become legendary within the world of Breakwater.

Key Features:

• DUALITY: ONE MIND, TWO BODIES - Use Duality to freely swap between your second body—called a Spectre—at any moment to outplay the enemy team. Strategically place your Spectre to cover multiple sites across the map, play two angles at once, and quickly reinforce teammates. Death can’t stop you. Your Spectre is a second chance at victory, giving you twice the uptime so you can run it back and make sure to hit your shots the second time around.
• CRAFTED FOR 3v3 COMPETITION - Take turns as Attackers and Defenders to plant or defuse the ZEUS device across 2-site maps. Earn rank as a team or a solo competitor in highly competitive ranked matchmaking. Or get your reps in with casual and custom play. Every match matters with Crews, a weekly engagement-based competition, where teams of 50-60 players compete to score the most points and move up the seasonal leaderboard. Custom networking technology and a modern anti-cheat approach means you can focus on the win instead of the playing field.
• TENSE, TACTICAL, GUNPLAY - Get the most from your loadout with true-to-crosshair accuracy that lets you shoot on the move with aim-down-sights (ADS) gameplay.
• FUTURE TECH ARSENAL - Pick from 8 Sponsor kits, each with a distinct loadout to fit your playstyle. Whether you love to set traps, drop smokes, or support teammates—Sponsors let you flex on the opposition. Every Sponsor loadout is integrated with Duality, so grab your guns, grab your gear, and craft new ways to outplay the competition.
• VISCERAL, ANIME-INSPIRED WORLD - Spectre’s style is rooted in sci-fi comic book art and the classic Japanese cel animation of the ‘90s. The world has a hand-drawn look and feel, capturing the same energy and momentum as the concept sketch. The style presents clean visual reads, perfect for executing next-level plays.
• FORGE YOUR LEGACY - Compete with your Crew of 60 friends in a weekly, engagement-based competition to score the most points and move up the leaderboard.  No predetermined characters—this is your climb. Personalize the look of your own pair of competitors and crush the competition in style. Customize faces, hair styles, tattoos, outfits, and weapons, then live your journey to champion.
