The world’s unquenchable need for entertainment has gone towards bloodlust as entertainment behemoth TEC1 is getting ready to premiere season two of its television sensation SCUM. This new season moves the contest from the rugged, enclosed indoor arenas to the lush forests, rolling fields, and rugged terrains of TEC1’s own private SCUM Island.

Both fan favorites and new prisoners alike are going to clash in a ruthless war of dominance while battling for the support of the viewers, producers, and corporate sponsors for fame, glory and their actual lives. Survival of the fittest is the main rule in the game. You will have to survive in tough conditions by hunting wild animals but beware as you also may be hunted by other players seeking to steal your resources.

SCUM is aiming to evolve the multiplayer open world survival game genre with unprecedented levels of character customization, control and progression, where the knowledge and skills you got are the ultimate weapons for security and your long-term survival.

The title is effectively combining the methodical planning and management of hardcore survival with some optional PvP ‘network events’ available to everyone at anytime, SCUM definitely strikes a unique balance between complex and realistic simulation and intense action full of violence, in the next generation of survival games. There are also dynamic weather conditions as well as a day and night cycle to even further depict a more realistic setting and feel.

SCUM is built with Unreal Engine 4 and will expand throughout time with more and more to explore. Fans are able to follow details on developments trough the weekly dev blogs on scumgame.com and on Twitter @SCUMgame.

FEATURES INCLUDED IN THE GAME:

• A Complex & Realistic Simulation: SCUM uses a complex system to allow players to go as deep as they want into the management of their unique character. Not only are you able to design the outlook of your avatar, but players can delve into the minutia of the survival experience through systems responsible for their character’s health factors such as: metabolism, inertia during movement, and even how fast layers of clothing dry on and off the body. The level of the details is truly astonishing...Make sure to maintain your character in good health or you may easily become prey to a bear or other opponents.
• Massive Landscape & Setting: Traverse through and explore 144 sq. km. of various diverse terrain that includes dense forests, picturesque beaches, serene fields, abandoned towns, and rundown airfields. Initially, the massive island must be journeyed through by foot and as you progress in development vehicles will be introduced for quicker movement around the different areas.
• PvP Network Events: Enter TEC1’s ongoing network events with a simple click of a button and be taken to enclosed areas of the island for some PvP action gameplay. Volunteer for an event and be pitted against other prisoners with fame points and high value loot on the line for those that are able to survive in the deadly battles.
• Expanding Gameplay: While the current version of SCUM already includes basic crafting, combat, and customization systems, the featureset and gameplay are going to continually expand to include more and more advanced mechanics, wider variety in gameplay, and a greater metanarrative for players to complete missions with the hopes of one day to get off the island alive...
