Ratings for Survived today may not be anything like what it was in the early 2000s, but that hasn’t stopped publisher Microids from getting involved with Survivor: Castaway Island — a game based on the once-popular TV show coming to the Switch on October 3.
Developed by Magic Pockets, Castaway Survivor follows the same format as the series. You’ll play as one of 12 contestants, competing in a series of challenges in the wilderness and befriending camp friends to stay popular and avoid getting kicked out. We haven’t seen that much of the game itself so far, but we imagine it will consist of a series of minigame-style challenges thrown in with some text-based social drama.
While there isn’t much to see, Microids has shared the following information and limited screenshots of what we can expect from Survivor: Castaway Island:
In Survivor: Castaway Island, be prepared to experience the ultimate test of survival! As you navigate the treacherous landscape, you’ll need to rely on your survival instincts and strategy to stay competitive. Every decision you make will be decisive for your destiny. Are you cunning, strategic and ruthless enough to outwit, outplay and outlast your opponents?
During your adventure, scavenge for resources and form alliances with other castaways to survive, but remember that trust is hard to come by in Survivor. Choose your allies wisely and guard your back against betrayal. In team or individual challenges, push yourself to the limit to avoid being kicked off the island.
One wrong move and the adventure ends. Your survival is at stake, and only the strongest will make it to the end. Do you have what it takes to stand last and become the sole survivor?
We understand that more information about the game will be coming soon, so be on the lookout in the coming months before its release later this year.
