You prayed. GWAR heard. And they’re coming. Digital Dreams Entertainment Inc. is thrilled to announce Mutant Football League 2: Antarctica Scumdogs, a brand-new DLC pack starring the boundary-breaking metal band launching for PlayStation 5, Steam, and Xbox Series X|S in October 2026 in their first major video game appearance in more than 30 years.

GWAR tore a new cosmic wormhole in the fabric of space and spilled out into the Mutant Football League 2 universe, where sport is almost as violent as they are — where players are mutilated, referees can be murdered, cheating is encouraged, and sometimes the best defense is simply killing the other team.

It feels just like home for GWAR.

“MFL fans have been asking me for years, ‘When are you going to get GWAR into the game?” said Michael Mendheim, president of Digital Dreams Entertainment, “Well, the wait is finally over. Football just got louder, bloodier, and a whole lot more GWAR. The Antarctica Scumdogs are coming to MFL2, and we’re making damn sure they’re the deadliest team in the game.”

For more than three decades, GWAR has brought its unique combination of heavy metal, outrageous characters, elaborate mythology, satire, and spectacular stage shows to fans around the world. Now the Scumdogs have found a new stage.

And this one has goalposts.

If you think you know football, you’ve got another thing coming. MFL 2 isn’t your typical game of “Toss The Pigskin”. It’s a bloodsport of the most brutal kind, where the refs expect dirty play, and a screw-up might just cost you your life. The stadium might kill you, too. It just depends where you’re standing when the spikes come out, and the lava starts flowing.

It’s the perfect nightmare playground for GWAR, and a crossover MFL 2 players have been begging for. Antarctica Scumdogs is the band’s first video game appearance in more than 30 years, and the only time you can be GWAR. The band’s MFL 2 team includes:

Blöthar the Berserker
BälSäc the Jaws ‘O Death
JiZMak Da Gusha
Grodius Maximus
Beefcake the Mighty
Sawborg Destructo
Bonesnapper

GWAR lead singer Blothar the Berserker commented, “Today, the Antarctican Scumdogs of GWAR take to the frozen tundra of the Mutant Football League, where killing isn’t everything, it’s the ONLY thing! Let the games begin!!”

In true GWAR fashion, the Scumdogs are built to destroy everything in sight, but mainly you. They are the most physically destructive teams in MFL 2, designed around a philosophy of brutality and carnage and turning every match into a white-knuckle battle for survival. If you’re playing against GWAR, the score is the last thing on your mind.

It wouldn’t be a GWAR show without a killer venue, of course, and Antarctica Scumdogs provides, with a brand-new, spectacular stadium steeped in the GWAR mythos and a lot of other things propriety forbids us from mentioning in a press release. The band can’t wait to soak you in it.

About GWAR:

The story of GWAR is carved across the history of this hopeless planet, but GWAR themselves are not of this world…Their story begins far past Uranus, in the deepest reaches of space, where the beings known as GWAR were warriors in the Scumdogs of the Universe, an elite fighting force in the army of the Master of All Reality. But GWAR proved too reckless and powerful, and after a series of tragic but hilarious blunders, they were banished to the furthest reaches of the galaxy, with orders to conquer an insignificant backwater prehistoric mudball known as the planet Earth. Once here, GWAR, the original Ancient Aliens, shaped the face of the globe, wiping out the dinosaurs, and mating with apes to create the human race. Having accidentally given rise to all human history, the Master of All Reality froze them in Antarctic ice where they could do no more harm. It was there they were discovered by a shady entrepreneur known as Sleazy P Martini, who sat the band down in front of professional wrestling, late-night horror movies, heavy metal music, and a steady diet of crack cocaine until GWAR became the cultural force they are today!

GWAR recently announced that they will be re-releasing their 2006 legendary defining moment with “Beyond Hell”. Coming 25th September and produced by Devin Townsend, the album brought together two of metal’s most unique creative forces, with Townsend helping shape one of the band’s most ambitious and beloved releases.

“I had been a GWAR fan since I was a kid. I loved the freedom, the metal, the spectacle, and the passion that went into it all,” recalls Townsend. “I met Brockie on a tour we did together and, after cornering him in an elevator basically telling him I’d work for free, I found myself co-producing Beyond Hell. Dave and Corey came to Vancouver to stay with me, and we recorded at Profile Studios. The drums and basic tracks were done at Slave Pit in Richmond, Virginia, and the whole process took about three months.”

He continues, “GWAR were, and are, an amazing combination of artistic freedom, absurdity, and hard work bundled up with metal and performance. Loved them then, love them now.”

Chronicling the band’s descent into Hell to rescue their long-lost comrade Flattus Maximus, “Beyond Hell” remains one of GWAR’s defining releases, featuring fan favourites including ‘Back in Crack’, ‘Womb With a View’, ‘Tormentor’, and ‘The Ultimate Bohab.’

Twenty years later, “Beyond Hell” is ready to rise once again, louder, heavier, and more gloriously blasphemous than ever before.
