Survival-shooter Scavengers by ex-Halo devs impresses in new trailer

The new trailer for Scavengers is here and it’s a promising tease for the co-op action game set in a frozen wasteland. The promising PvEvP open-world shooter is getting a technical playtest this month which you can sign up to experience the ambitious shooter for yourself. Check out the new gameplay trailer here!

Unveiled two years ago, Scavengers immediately turned heads not only with its style and ambitions but the people behind it. None other than developers who worked on Halo 5’s Warzone multiplayer mode are creating this title.

While Halo 5 was a divisive entry in that series, its multiplayer component was anything but. In fact, the MP portion – Warzone included – is the best thing about the FPS. As such, it’s reassuring that the devs who were responsible for that are behind Scavengers.

Experience a new kind of competitive shooter, where every match offers multiple strategic avenues. Your objectives: capture more data points than rival squads, and stay alive – the rest is up to you. Track enemy players through snow, pit AI wildlife against adversaries, use storms and shelters to your advantage, stealthily navigate outposts, or take on the world guns blazing. It’s Player-vs-Environment-vs-Player, and creativity equals victory.

And what we’ve seen and learned about it, it’s promising to become an even better game on its own. The world of Scavengers is ravaged and in disarray after a catastrophic asteroid impact. Not only did that lead to the world becoming a hostile frozen hellscape but mutant monster are now roaming the world as well.

You and your squad of three other players are trying to survive this harsh world. But there’s more to it than just killing mutated creatures and hostile squads. The world itself requires you to hunt for food and resources to just survive.

It’s this mix of genres, PvP online action, survival against the elements, and fight against hostile AI creatures that make Scavengers so enticing. Interested users can sign up for the upcoming ‘Technical Playtest’ this month between the 18th-20th.
