Independent Studio Ebb Software has released a very unsettling gameplay trailer for Scorn — which doesn't really show much gameply, but the trailer does seem to be showing off an in-engine cinematic sequence; needless to say, the game looks phenomenal.
Some may remember that Ebb Software initially annoucned Scorn all the way back in 2014, but the Kickstarter campaign was unsuccessfull until 2015, when the game ws fully funded and has been in development ever since.
Today's gameplay trailer for Scorn has also confirmed that the game will be releasing for the Xbox Series X, and that the first-person horror adventure title will be running at a stable 60 frames per second in 4K. This was confirmed by Scorn Game Director Ljubomir Peklar, who stated that for the "it's imperative to present Scorn in the best way possible. The distinctive art style is only half the story - the other half is having all the technical parts of the game running smoothly."
Peklar has also revealed that the developers wanting the game to run as smoothly as possible was exactly what made them want to partner up with Microsoft.
"That’s where our partnership with Microsoft and their next generation Xbox Series X console comes in," Peklar explains. "Xbox Series X is an extremely capable piece of hardware that will enable us to run Scorn at 4k 60fps with all the graphical bells and whistles.
"Ease of development and raw processing power are the primary reasons we chose to go exclusively with Xbox Series X. Players on Series X will experience an uncompromising version of Scorn," he concluded.
With what we've seen from today's trailer, it looks like Scorn will be quite the game changer for first-person horror games, so we cannot wait for the people over at Ebb Software to reveal more information about the upcoming title. in the meantime, check out the unsettling trailer down below, and drop us a comment in the usual place.

You will find yourself entirely alone, with only your senses and instincts to guide you through the non-linear nightmare of interconnected spaces. In Scorn, the environment is itself a character, and will do its best to unsettle and unbalance you. Each location has its own puzzles, characters and story to tell, all of which combine to create a cohesive world.
Scorn still doesn't have a nofficial release date but is expected to launch for the Xbox Series X, Steam, and Windows 10.
