The Darwin Project takes place in a dystopian post-apocalyptic landscape in the Northern Canadian Rockies. As preparation for an impending ice age (not like the cute animated film), a new project, half science experiment half live-entertainment, is launched. It’s called the “Darwin Project” and it is basically a battle royale, where participants have to survive the cold and fight to the death in a brutal arena.
The Darwin Project is probably trying to carve a piece of that PUBG pie off for themselves, offering a competitive multiplayer third person survival experience, "featuring at its core a new gameplay innovation: the manhunt. In his or her path to victory, a player must survive extreme environmental conditions, track opponents, and set traps in order to win." I am not sure how that is a new gamplay innovation, but there you have it.
Take a look at the trailer and let me know what you all think. Can this thing answer back to the phenom that is PUBG? We'll find out when the game releases for Xbox One and PC in 2018.
