As civilization prepares for an impending ice age, a twisted new project emerges, half science experiment and half live-entertainment. It's called Darwin Project and it challenges participants to survive the cold and fight to the death in a treacherous, snow-covered arena.

Darwin Project takes the battle royale genre up north to the Canadian Rockies. Set against a post-apocalyptic backdrop, an impending ice age has kick-started a twisted new reality show, in which participants must fight to the death to earn their survival. Other combatants won’t be players’ only worries though, as the harsh climate will put even the most hardened survivalists to the test.

Darwin Project offers a competitive multiplayer third-person experience with an emphasis on survival. Players must withstand extreme environmental conditions, track opponents, craft tools, set traps, and even negotiate temporary alliances to be the last one standing at sunrise.

Scavengers Studio is thrilled to announce that Darwin Project is set for release in January 2020. After more than 3.6 million players braved the cold on Steam Early Access and Xbox Game Preview, the full release will also make its way to PS4.

In preparation for the game’s full release and PS4 launch, Scavengers Studio has been hard at work adding a plethora of new content and features, including:
 
New Class System

In the world of Darwin Project, Arena Sponsors flock to the deadly sporting event eager to showcase their new product.

At launch, players can choose from among three pieces of Gear to determine their class specializations:

• Jet Wings - The power of flight lets players out-maneuver their foes and deal death from above
• Grapple Gauntlet - A mechanized hand that allows players to rapidly close the gap with their opponents
• Headhunter Drone - A robotic companion to track targets and do the player's bidding
