Admit it, the moment you hit that Play button, you’d like your name to appear on the leaderboards. Knowing that you are among the best players motivates you to do your best to become number one.
Where are Darwin Project leaderboards? Darwin Project does not currently support leaderboards but this feature could soon return to the game. Scavenger Studios have yet to confirm an official date when leaderboards would be available again.
Gamers want leaderboards back
Interestingly enough, the game supported leaderboards in Early Access but the devs removed the feature in the final release version.
Darwin Project is still struggling to gain momentum and grow to a large player base. Bringing leaderboards back can increase player engagement, build better player retention and drive competition.
The old ranking system would take into account your ranking at the end of the match as well as your skills. You would get points from the other inmates that you had killed and also from other players ranked lower than you.
For the time being, there is no information whether Scavengers Studio would keep the same ranking system or improvements would be added.
Taking into account the number of players requesting for leaderboard support, chances are the devs are at least considering bringing the feature back. For the time being, they remained tight-lipped.
I’ll keep an eye on this matter and update this post as soon as new information is available.
