Survival is key, but winning isn’t as simple as outlasting the competition. In order to escape the island, players will need to use the power of both voice and personality to build bonds with other contestants and navigate the dangerous terrain. Scheming, strategizing and even backstabbing are commonplace and the contestants who do them most skillfully often have the best chance to escape.

SOS integrates with Outpost Games' Hero platform so that every player can become a performer. With Hero, every game has a live audience that gives real-time feedback and influences gameplay. By entertaining the crowd, players can become the star of the show.

In a Duos match, contestants will still get dropped at random spawn points, however, they will start on the same radio channel as their teammate, so they can coordinate and meet up. Duos is a brand new experimental feature actively in development for SOS.

Outpost Games is a developer made up of former Electronic Arts, YouTube and Twitch veterans.
