Upcoming Xbox console exclusive Scorn finally has a release window. The developers at Ebb Software confirmed that the game will be launching in Oct. 2022. You can check out the announcement trailer for the release window below:

While Scorn was announced years ago, Xbox versions were revealed during a May 7, 2020 showcase ahead of the launch of the new generation of consoles. Scorn's art direction is heavily inspired by the works of H.R. Geiger and the Alien franchise. Weapons and technology have an unnerving, organic appearance, with almost everything seeming to be alive or biomechanical to at least some extent.

When the game arrives, it'll be available on Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S and PC. It's also launching day one into Xbox Game Pass. The developers previously mentioned that the team isn't interested in doing a last-generation version for the Xbox One, as it wouldn't run well and would be a "sub-optimal" experience.
