But first, they'll have to survive the arena. Each live-streamed broadcast delivers a hellish new obstacle course with a unique theme, traps, and challenges. As a contestant with your own score to settle, you'll have to battle other heavily armed combatants, explore for life-saving sponsorship packages, and outwit especially devious surprises from the show's director if you hope to become the next champ.

- Survive the Future of Entertainment: Face off against fierce rivals outfitted with heavy weapons and cyborg augments, but watch out for surprise traps and twists from the show's director, who's more than willing to throw out the rules to boost ratings for his corporate overlords!
