In Endgame: Proving Ground, players will "join one of the original 12 Lines of humanity and participate in an interactive story spanning real-world locations across the globe." Players can customize characters and compete in virtual player-vs-player (PvP) battles using their mobile devices near special "Key Sites" scattered around the world.
The Endgame universe is based on the transmedia project by author James Frey, and it's part novel and part augmented reality. You can find more about it in this article at The Verge, which provides good background for what exactly the property is.
