GWAR Is Coming To ‘Mutant Football League 2’
GWAR is joining the video game Mutant Football League 2 as a playable team through a new downloadable content pack called Antarctica Scumdogs, developer Digital Dreams Entertainment has announced. The DLC marks the shock-rock band's first video game appearance in more than 30 years and is due for release on PlayStation 5, Steam and Xbox Series X|S in October 2026, bringing GWAR's grotesque mythology to the ultra-violent football title.
The pack includes seven GWAR characters — among them Blöthar The Berserker, Bälsäc The Jaws 'O Death and Jizmak Da Gusha — billed as the most physically destructive team in the game, along with a new stadium themed around the band's lore. GWAR: Antarctica Scumdogs will get its worldwide playable debut at PAX West in Seattle from 4 to 7 September, at Digital Dreams Entertainment's booth, with a daily raffle offering attendees the chance to be immortalised as a playable Scumdogs team member.

Explained simply
GWAR are an American heavy metal band known for performing in elaborate monster costumes and building a fictional universe around their characters. Their stage shows and music draw on shock rock, a style that uses deliberately outrageous imagery.
Mutant Football League 2 is an arcade-style American football video game in which teams of monsters and other unusual characters play violent matches. Digital Dreams Entertainment makes the game, which is a follow-up to the original Mutant Football League.
The crossover brings GWAR’s characters and fictional world into a video game setting, connecting the band’s performance mythology with a sports game. It also marks GWAR’s return to video games after more than 30 years.
