Game Story

In the year 2097, the entire earth was enveloped in a cataclysmic shift in climate, plunging the globe into another ice age. Over 90% of the world's population was eliminated, driving the survivors to band together into loose communities and tribes.

You are the leader of a small tribe of survivors in a post-apocalyptic ice age. Resources, tools, medicine, and mercenaries are all in scarce supply. You and your tribe are pitted against up to four other tribes in a fight for survival. Build up your tribe, scavenger for supplies, and skirmish against other players for precious resources.

The world of Arctic Scavengers is cold and brutal.

Do you have what it takes to survive?
