Survive the Arena and Gain Fans in New Trailer for Gone Viral

Skullbot Games had brought us fun titles like Wildstar and City of Heroes, and now they’ve unveiled their next action beat-em-up, Gone Viral.

Check out the trailer:

Here’s the official description:

Gone Viral explores a mutant post-apocalypse society that so glorifies violence and social media that the ultimate hybrid of the two has become the cornerstone of their entertainment – the most brutal game show ever devised. Gone Viral puts the player in the shoes of a “contestant” on that gameshow who has been captured and is forced to fight for their life – and for likes.

In Gone Viral, you have the chance to become a “Social Murdia Star” and amass a following in the game as well as IRL; apparently you can hook up the game to Twitch (via the Blood Stream), and it lets you invite viewers and they can participate while you play to either help or make things harder for you.

It’s very interesting that the marketing should use the word “mutants” since this game looks to be inspired by the X-Men arc concerning the Mojoverse where members of the X-Men are transported into an alternate dimension where they’re forced to fight for the death for ratings. You’ll even notice that the character has something resembling Wolverine claws at some point in the trailer.

Gone Viral will be available for Steam Early Access on Sept. 24 for $19.99. Find more games in our list of Upcoming PC Games.
