SOS throws 16 players into Survivor-esque video game show

I had no idea that the reality show Survivor was still on the air, but it’s entering its 36th season so people must still like it — and Outpost Games is betting that human drama alongside some island shenanigans will make a good video game experience too. Today, the studio launched its multiplayer survival title SOS on Steam Early Access.

Sixteen players are stranded on the island La Cuna and have 30 minutes to find a relic as well as ensure they’re one of only three contestants who are allowed to leave victorious. They’re armed with weapons like guns and axes, which will come in handy since they’ll have to fight off competing players as well as strange creatures that seem to populate the island. And crucially, they have walkie-talkies, because no person is an island even if they’re on one.
