The twist comes from the game being a reality show. Until now, the game sounds like any other “Battle Royale” game in the genre (albeit with much few players). They can do so by foraging for items around the arena and craft them into tools, traps and perks – all to ensure they will be the one to survive. The game drops 10 players into an arena of a twisted reality show, where they need to fight each other to survive the long cold night. Scavengers Studio, the team behind the game, tries to raise Darwin Project above the others by approaching the tried-and-tested formula from a new angle – one that makes perfect sense when you think about it. So how does Darwin Project hope to separate itself from the likes of PUBG, Fortnite and the recently announced Fear the Wolves? That is exactly what we’re trying to figure out here, and this gameplay highlights video is a good place to start.

We figured it’s a good time to take a look at this “The Hunger Games meets PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds”, and the new twists it brings to the Battle Royale formula. Darwin Project steps into the Xbox Game Preview and Steam Early Access program later this week.
