Now just a day after these leaks another leak has appeared with some screenshots of what the game will look like. Now the game hasn’t even been revealed by Valve and it’s probably a long way away from release so this won’t be what the finished product will look like.

But from what we can see, the game will also use a third-person perspective, confirming the description Gabe follower gave. From the screenshots and description we were given the game will also be set in a huge map with 4 lanes.

Leaked Screenshots

The leaked screenshots are of low quality and were not officially released by Valve, therefore, they do not reflect the actual quality of the game but nonetheless enjoy.
