Remember SCUM? Yes, that’s the name of the game. No, it’s probably not going to make you feel great about yourself from the name alone. Heck, the premise might not do you any favors, either, since the whole point of the game is that you’re playing an inmate sentenced to life in prison who’s given a shot at fame and fortune through a televised deathmatch game. We covered it when it first showed up back in 2016.
The game has moved along with the times, with early access now planned to kick off in Q2 2018 as a story-driven survival game. Players will have to fight in an open environment to survive, defeat fellow prisoners, and be the most crowd-pleasing convict on the island. If that scratches a particular need you have, you should keep up to date with the game’s ongoing development dispatches while it rolls along to early access.
