We had the chance to take a look at SCUM on this year’s gamescom. Gamepires and Croteam are super proud to announce that our co-production baby SCUM is now available on Steam Early Access for an introductory price of $19,99/€16,79 to award those willing to take part in the early stages of it’s, hopefully, long and fruitful life.

.

To celebrate the Early Access launch Gamepires have released a brand new gameplay trailer that showcases some of the epic features players can expect when they jump in.

During this initial Early Access version of SCUM, players will be able to traverse and explore a massive 144 sq km terrain with dense forests, picturesque beaches, serene fields, abandoned towns, and rundown airfields on foot, while motorized vehicles will be introduced at a later date.

.

To keep things interesting players will enjoy a 64-player online multiplayer on official or private servers, as well as take part in special PvP Network Events with a click of a button and be whisked to enclosed areas of the island for some white-knuckle PvP gameplay.

.

Gamepires are keen to receive feedback and improve the game in the upcoming months expanding SCUM with new network events, NPCs, domestic and wild animals and much more. For the full roadmap to v 1.0 please check out the Steam store page.

SCUM evolves the multiplayer open world survival game with unprecedented levels of character customization, controland progression, where knowledge and skills are the ultimate weapons for long-term survival. Players will balance base level needs with knowledge-based skills to manage everything from nourishment, metabolic rate and body mass to weapons proficiency, combat style and security systems hacking. Dominate the island with your skills, cunning and strategies to achieve higher levels and receive powerful gifts from corporate sponsors and, if you happen to slip up and die, get resurrected by the show’s producers with all your valuable skills still intact.
