Scavengers is getting a test.

Midwinter Entertainment’s Scavengers gets a massive player event on May 29

ScavLab, the experimental sandbox testing platform built inside the early access Scavengers game, will get a big test drive in a May 29 event. Thousands of players will be able to join in a single, shared community hub, essentially a big party for early adopters.

The game comes from Midwinter Entertainment, a studio that game technology company Improbable owns. Scavengers is a strategic survival shooter with a new take on battle royale. It is available in early access on Steam and the Epic Games Store.
