Last year Prime Matter and developer Mad Head Games revealed Scars Above, an atmospheric sci-fi shooter with roguelike elements somewhat in the vein of Returnal and other similar games. Well, today at The Game Awards, Prime Matter dropped a new trailer and confirmed a February 2023 release date. The trailer provides a fresh peek at the game’s creepy world and even more creepy enemies. You can check it out for yourself, below.
