That is according to reporter Jeff Grubb, who discussed a new in-development take on 1. vs. 100 as part of his Giant Bomb show. As reported by VGC, Grubb claimed the new project was developed by an independent company, and will be used for Microsoft teams using 3D avatars. “1 vs 100 has come back,” Grubb revealed. The team looks like it will come from the Altspace video team. They’re the creator of the project and all the avatars we saw in the Microsoft Teams thing last week. They’ll use these avatars and bring it inside.” The trailer vs. the second season is 1. One vs. 100, the TV series of the same name, was somewhat based on a weekly live match scheduled at specific times. Both the players selected as The One and The Mob, the latter looking to prove their trivia mettle against the latter in the hope that they won various Xbox-based prizes. This isn’t the first time we heard word about a possible single vs. 100 revival, of course. Phil Spencer teased Microsoft is exploring ways to revive the winning formula back in 2019. “It’s not for 1 versus 100” a specific argument, he told Stevivor, “the problem is that it’s an IP owned by a game show.” I’ll say that Matt, the director of Xbox Game Studios and I have had lots of discussions about that idea, whether it’s that IP, or just a idea of what it was, we would like to go do. So we’re re-evaluing ideas and talking with teams. Because I think that was one of those ideas… that might have been a little far away from its time.”
