Battle Royale meets survival PvE shooter Scavengers is shutting down on December 16, 2022, just a year and seven months after launching. It was launched as an early access game on both Steam and the Epic store, and was pretty well-received at the time, but failed to find a persistent audience in the time since.
It's a bitter end for the few who've found a dedicated game in Scavengers, or those who've spent money on microtransactions in it, since the last they really heard from the game owners was in March. A post titled Farewell, Cascade Springs made the announcement on Scavengers' website.
It certainly didn't help that the Scavengers developer Midwinter was here at PC Gamer.
Scavengers described itself as a "strategic survival battleground" involving three-person squads who "compete to survive and dominate in a hybrid of sandbox-style PVE and class-based PVP." With a roster of pre-made characters, it was something like a class shooter with the PvPvE Battle Royale bolted on top. It was pretty much bland gaming comfort food and only those who approached it that way seemed to like it. (Sorry, Rich.)
Scavengers was available on the Epic Store and on Steam. It's still on the Epic Store as of publishing, but it's no longer able to be ed on Steam.
