In what seems like a strange announcement, considering the original shut down in December last year, Xaviant has announced The Culling II via Twitter.
The Culling was an early access Battle Royale title more focussed on melee combat with the odd occassional gunplay. So it seems like the devs want a second stab at the heavily populated genre.
No details were given on how this version changes from the first, but it will hopefully address many of the issues from The Culling.
