How would the launch work per say? An auction for every name?

Most new gTLD launches start with a ~"sunrise period" during which trademark holders file claims for first rights to their protected brand.

In some cases there have been auctions of reserved or presumably "prime domains". This, I believe, was how the launch of .mobi was handled.
