Upon the news of 100 Thieves working on a game, the Midnight Society Twitter account which utilized the opportunity to throw shade. Midnight Society stated “new competition has entered the arena… always nice to have someone to be better than,” in response to the 100 Thieves video announcing the game. Because we haven’t seen anything from either developer, it’s currently unclear if the two games share any similarities or when they will release, but Midnight Society may beat 100 Thieves to the punch given the headstart it has.

Midnight Society has confirmed a few details about its game, currently known as Project Moon, such as it being a shooter with a focus on verticality rather than using a mostly flat map like Fortnite and PUBG fans are familiar with. Dr Disrespect’s development studio has also stated that it will integrate NFTs into the game, but didn’t confirm how they will be used. There are already thousands of Founder’s Pass holders for Midnight Society’s breakout game which suggests that the developer has a team of beta testers ready for when a build is completed, something 100 Thieves may consider.
100 Thieves confirmed its upcoming game with a video on May 18 in which Matthew “Nadeshot” Haag and John Robinson discussed Project X and how long they’ve been brainstorming ideas for it. Call of Duty pro Nadeshot quickly noted that without video games, 100 Thieves may not exist because he wouldn’t be there, and this enthusiasm may be what fuels the development of Project X.
While it’s currently unclear what kind of game 100 Thieves is working on, the pool of talent at the organization may help them refine and balance things for a livestreaming audience. Among the 100 Thieves roster are content creators like YouTube streamers Courage and Valkyrae and knowledgeable coaches such as Mithy and Reapered, but 100 Thieves may need to expand by adding more developers to the team given their Project X goals. Most of the fan reaction to 100 Thieves’ announcement of working on a game is very positive and Midnight Society’s shade-throwing may be part of a friendly competition that lasts through the release of both games.
