About

The everlasting craving for entertainment has evolved into a fascination with violence, as mega-entertainment company TEC1 prepares to debut season two of its hit TV show SCUM. In this new installment, the competition shifts from confined indoor arenas to the verdant forests, open fields, and rugged landscapes of TEC1’s private SCUM Island. Both beloved characters and fresh inmates will engage in a merciless struggle for survival as they vie for viewer, producer, and corporate sponsor favor to gain fame, prizes, and the possibility of life beyond death.

SCUM aspires to revolutionize the multiplayer open-world survival genre by offering unparalleled character customization, control, and progression. In this game, wisdom and skills serve as the most potent weapons for lasting survival. It skillfully blends the strategic planning and resource management of hardcore survival with optional Player versus Player “network incidents” that can be accessed anytime, providing a distinctive mix of intricate simulation and high-intensity action in the next phase of survival gaming.

Key Features

  • Complex Simulation – SCUM utilizes dozens of complex systems to allow players to go as deep as they choose into the management of their character. Players can delve into the minutia of the survival experience through systems controlling their character’s metabolism, inertia during movement, and even how fast layers of clothing dry on and off the body. The devil is in the details…
  • Massive Landscape – Traverse and explore 225 sq km of terrain that includes dense forests, picturesque beaches, serene fields, abandoned towns, and rundown airfields. Each location telling it’s own story and filled with wildlife and dangers.The massive terrain can be traversed by foot, land vehicles, boats or aircraft.
  • Player-versus-Player Network Events – Enter TEC1’s ongoing network events with a click of a button and be whisked to enclosed areas of the island for white-knuckle player-versus-player gameplay. Volunteer for an event and be pitted against other prisoners with fame points and high value loot on the line for those that survive.
  • Expanding Gameplay – While the current version of SCUM already includes basic crafting, combat, and customization systems, the feature set and gameplay will continually expand to include more advanced mechanics, more variety in gameplay, and a metanarrative for players to complete missions with hopes of one day getting off the island…
  • Online Multiplayer – Survive with up to 64 players per server with the option to rent your own server right from the in-game menu.
