Mindwinter Entertainment is comprised of several ex-Halo developers, and Scavengers does carry the charm of the developers’ previous projects in subtle ways. Players who participate in the closed alpha will have access to the Expedition mode and a Horde mode, the latter of which will see them defending against hordes of enemies.

Registration for Scavengers‘ closed alpha will remain open until an undisclosed date in the future. Cross-play between consoles will also be available for the closed alpha – which is certainly a plus. Scavengers is another live-service title from a relatively lesser-known studio, and will be competing directly against games like Splitgate and by extension, Halo Infinite‘s free-to-play offerings.
