Scurge: Hive Release Date Announced

Scurge: Hive became a recognizable classic upon its release on the DS and Game Boy Advance. With its dark sci-fi atmosphere and action-packed gameplay, the game is now being ported to modern platforms, ready to meet new players. Its updated features will offer a blend of nostalgia and contemporary gameplay.

Scurge: Hive Coming to Modern Platforms

Published by Ratalaika Games and Shinyuden, Scurge: Hive is developed by Orbital Media. The game will launch on October 10th for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC. This return is both a nostalgic reminder for longtime players and a fresh opportunity for newcomers to the genre.

The game’s main character, Jenosa Arma, is assigned by the military to solve a disaster at a secret laboratory. The biggest threat she faces is the “Scurge” virus, which can take control of everything. Our hero is partially resistant to this virus thanks to his biological armor, but as his infection meter begins to fill over time, players feel the tension intensify. This dynamic adds a constant element of pressure to the game.

Scurge: Hive combines platforming elements, combat sequences, and puzzle-solving mechanics with an isometric camera. Players must both explore the environment and deal with the threat of infection. Every decision carries strategic importance, requiring quick solutions to different situations. This transforms the game from an action adventure into a tactical experience.

The new version is equipped with numerous additional features for modern gamers. Free save points, turbo and rewind functions, retro screen filters, and a gallery of original box art are just a few of these. Cheat options also allow for customization of the experience. In this way, Scurge: Hive evokes nostalgia for old players while offering an accessible and comprehensive sci-fi adventure for a new generation.
