Scorn: Disgusting Horror-Adventure will be released in October, new trailer
As part of this year’s Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase, not only did Diablo 4 broadcast on hellish frequency, but also the extremely morbid action-adventure Scorn. In its new trailer, developer Ebb Software is once again very stomach-stimulating, but in the end is pleased with a release date for the Giger-inspired horror trip: October 21, 2022 will (finally) be the day.
The development of the action-adventure Scorn can be followed for many years – at least since 2017 – even if developer Ebb Software seeded information rather sparsely. After the promising title had been postponed to this year, the Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase finally confirmed: Scorn will actually be released on October 21, 2022 – that’s what a new, usual disgusting trailer promised. And: The open-world game will be available in PC Game Pass from day one. The price of Steam version will be around 40 euros; a release via GOG is apparently not planned. Of course, Scorn should also appear in Game Pass for Microsoft’s Xbox Series X/S.
Scorn: New trailer shows repulsive scenes
Scorn’s presentation at the Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase sent both right and wrong signals. After a rather calm look at a wasteland characterized by decay and death, the scenario changes to a Giger-typical underworld with partly claustrophobic bonds. Here the supposed hero, who, from a purely external point of view, shouldn’t even be alive, pulls a kind of umbilical cord out of his stomach, in order to go hunting shortly afterwards with a thick, partly organic gun. Doom in the Giger Edition? One might think so in view of the “accompanying” industrial sounds. However, a closer look shows that Scorn chooses a rather low game speed. It is true that the main character pumps repulsive insectoids from hell (?) into their decomposing stomachs – or fights off in bloody hand-to-hand combat against abnormal creatures that could have straight out of Carpenter’s “The Thing”. However, the focus seems to be on solving key and combination puzzles.

According to Ebb Software, the special thing about Scorn is that it completely dispenses with film sequences and tells the story while playing. Because the players should linger in “the ghastly reality of the living, breathing world”. Another argument against the somewhat shooter-heavy look of the trailer is that resource management will play a greater role in Scorn. Thus, the whole thing should play similar to the classic Resident Evil, since it is also important to consider in Scorn when fights should be encountered or rather avoided.
