Microsoft said today it would publish Scavenger Studio‘s The Darwin Project as an Xbox One exclusive. It’s a survival title from the Montreal-based game developer, and the idea here is The Hunger Games — but set in the cold of Canada.

Microsoft made the announcement at its press event at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) in Los Angeles. You try to survive in the woods while others are hunting you. It debuted earlier this year at the PAX East event in Boston, and it will debut as a Steam Greenlit PC title in the fall. It takes place in a postapocalyptic landscape in the Northern Canadian Rockies.
