Launched in early 2018 on PC and Xbox, Darwin Project was a rather attractive game. Failing to be perfect, the battle royale of Scavengers had the merit of daring to take a different approach to the genre, by proposing clashes in limited numbers and making spectators contribute to the games. Funny, however, the game quickly proved to be quite limited. Not surprisingly, the developers had to force themselves to make their game free on PC soon after its launch.
Today, Scavengers announces the end of the development of the game. The May update will be the last. If the game will remain playable until the end of the year, the fanbase should not expect anything more.
A tough competition
"Over the past year, we have seen the player base shrink and we have tried to find solutions to the problem, from adding a new platform (PS4) to adding new content and optimizations permanent, explains the studio in a press release. Unfortunately, the Darwin Project is not viable. "
Faced with PUBG and Fortnite , breaking into the field of Battle Royale is not an easy thing for independent studios. Darwin Project is not the first project to bite the dust. The Culling 1 and 2 were both there before him. The first is also making a surprising comeback this month on Xbox, with a new economic model.
