Beloved GameBoy and Nintendo DS Classic, ‘Scurge: Hive,’ Is Getting a PC and Console Port Later This Year

Scurge: Hive might not be one of the most popular titles in the history of gaming, but this 2D action adventure game was praised by both fans and critics when it originally came out and it has the status of a cult classic game today.

The game was originally released on October 24, 2006 in North America and on November 3, 2006 in Europe. The game was originally available for the Game Boy Advance and the Nintendo DS, but that is about to change.

Namely, Ratalaika Games has officially confirmed that Scurge: Hive will be getting a PC and console port later this year, and we have all the details here for you.

Taking place in a world with an isometric perspective, Scurge: Hive follows the protagonist Jenosa Arma, who is a bounty huntress. Her mission is to find and eliminate a parasitic lifeform called the “Scurge.”

The Scurge is an alien entity capable of rapidly adapting to and infecting biological, mechanical, and digital systems, including Jenosa herself, which is why the danger is so palpable. In the game, Jenosa Arma will meet and fight different iterations of the Scurge virus, all while racing against time before the Scurge takes over her body as well.

As said, the game was a solid hit back in 2006, which is why its revival will make a lot of fans happy:

We're happy to announce that Scurge: Hive will be soon released on Consoles and PC!

A infectious retro classic from 2006 has been revived and only you can save the world from the deadly virus know as Scurge!
