Hunger Games Inspired The Culling Enters Early Access On PC Today
Independent developer Xaviant decided to push The Culling into Early Access ahead of it’s March 8 release date by putting it out today. You and 15 friends (or foes) can head to a blood splattered island to decide who will be the last one standing.
The Culling takes more than a few cues from media where teens maim each other in a tournament setting, and appears heavily inspired by the Battle Royale and Hunger Games series. You have 20 minutes to survive on your own or with a small group, crafting weapons along the way to eliminate your competition.
The Culling is available now on Steam Early Access on PC. You can purchase a discounted double-pack through Humble Bundle in case you want to gift a friend. Also, you can watch us try to get through the game’s alpha unscathed right here. Spoilers: we die horribly.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
