Scars Above was announced today with a surprise reveal during Gamescom Opening Night Live. The title is a challenging sci-fi third-person action-adventure title created by Serbian developer Mad Head Games and published by Prime Matter. It will be available for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox X|S, Xbox One, and PC in early 2023.
A colossal and enigmatic alien structure appears in Earth’s orbit and stuns the entire world. Humanity names it The Metahedron. The Sentient Contact Assessment and Response team (SCAR) consisting of scientists and engineers, is sent to investigate.
Things don’t go as planned and the Metahedron hauls the team across space onto a mysterious extrasolar planet. Players find themselves in the shoes of SCAR team member Dr. Kate Ward, who wakes up dazed and alone in a strange, hostile environment. Determined to survive, Dr. Ward sets out to find her crew and unravel the mystery behind what’s happened. Kate is an astronaut and a scientist – not a soldier – but she’s resourceful and determined to do anything to survive.
