Although many may think JJ Abrams would be busy right now with a major movie getting ready to open, he took some time to announce a new partnership his Bad Robot studio is entering into to launch a new computer game. SPYJINX will be a new espionage genre title for computers and smartphones launching in 2016. To get it into the hands of gamers, Bad Robot has teamed up with ChAIR, the development team behind Infinity Blade.

According to an interview with JJ Abrams and Donald Mustard, SPYJINX will combine elements of action, role-playing, strategy and some world-building into the title. In the interview, Abrams describes elements of the game as being a “brainstorming session” with developers, which may hint that the game will evolve over time using a somewhat open platform.

ChAIR and Bad Robot are currently seeking gamers who want to participate in a closed beta of SPYJINX as the developers work toward their release date. If you want to try to get in early by being a beta tester, hit the source link below to sign up.
