Xbox console exclusive Scorn has slipped to late 2022

Developer Ebb Software has committed to an October 2022 release date for its Xbox Series X|S and PC horror game Scorn.

The release date, which was announced via the latest trailer embedded below, represents nearly a year delay from the title’s originally planned 2021 window.

Announced during the Xbox Series X software showcase in May 2020, Scorn is inspired by the work of artists H.R. Giger (Alien) and Zdzisław Beksiński.

“Scorn is an atmospheric first-person horror adventure game set in a nightmarish universe of odd forms and somber tapestry,” according to Belgrade, Serbia-based developer and publisher Ebb.

“It is designed around the idea of ‘being thrown into the world’. Isolated and lost inside this dream-like world, you will explore different interconnected regions in a non-linear fashion. The unsettling environment is a character itself.

“Every location contains its own theme (story), puzzles and characters that are integral in creating a cohesive world,” Ebb adds. “Throughout the game you will open up new areas, acquire different skill sets, weapons, various items and try to comprehend the sights presented to you.”

Scorn will be available on Xbox Game Pass at launch. 13 minutes of Xbox Series X Scorn gameplay was published last year.
