The Warzone mode of Halo 5 was well received by many players, but the developers had much bigger plans, which they are now implementing in a separate game called Scavengers. They will use the amazing technology SpatialOS for this. The first concept art looks a bit like it’s Destiny 3.
Scavengers places you in the near future. An asteroid has destroyed our moon, plunging the Earth into a new Ice Age. Resources have become scarce. To make matters worse, a disease is decimating wildlife. Humanity must fight for survival.
You belong to one of two factions fighting for the last resources. Survival, teamwork, and shooter action are the focus.
Scavengers is intended to be a multiplayer survival shooter with coop elements.
More than just the next online shooter
Scavengers aims to offer you more than just another online shooter experience:
- Join one of two factions
- Fight for control of a large map
- Make decisions as a team
- Fight not only other players but also AI-controlled enemies
- The game is divided into sessions, with each round having a certain playtime (which has not yet been determined)
- Each session is supposed to differ from the others
Decisions are important
In Scavengers, it’s not just about eliminating other players, but also about making tactical decisions. If, for example, your clan is on the way to fulfill your goal and you encounter a small group of other players, you must decide as a team how to proceed.
- Will you attack the other players, putting your goal at risk?
- Maybe the group has something that could be useful to you
- Will you ignore the players and risk them backstabbing you?
A bit hardcore
Scavengers is somewhat oriented toward “realism” based on the upcoming hardcore shooter Escape from Tarkov, but does not want to go that far. Nevertheless, each session is supposed to present a great challenge where every decision is important.
Furthermore, the developers use the technology SpatialOS to create a large and realistic game world. The development of Scavengers is still in very early stages, which means that it is currently unclear when the online game will be released or when test phases are planned.
The concept art and initial images remind many observers of Destiny.
Currently, no release date for Scavengers is known. It is also not yet clear which platforms it will be coming to.
