Leading game development studio Gamepires and Epik, the leading global licensing agency immersing major brands into AAA games have teamed up to bring Hollywood’s most unlikely hero, Danny Trejo, to life as a playable character inside the multiplayer open world survivor game, SCUM.
Trejo had this to say:
I’ve been fortunate to work on some incredible projects throughout my career, but seeing myself in a badass game like ‘SCUM’ has got to be one of the highlights.
Working with Epik and Gamepires has been an awesome collaboration. This partnership is an opportunity to engage with fans on a different level.
The new SCUM DLC will be available soon and features Danny Trejo as an in-game playable character with multiple options, accessories and customization for players to choose from. This includes several new items and in-game collectibles such as clothing, weaponry, mannerisms and more, all inspired by the unique roles and characters that made Trejo famous. The in-game avatar is modeled after Danny Trejo in the 1990s and is voiced by Trejo himself.
Coinciding with SCUM’s upcoming downloadable content (DLC), Danny Trejo is also launching his first ever NFT collection, titled “The Many Faces of Danny Trejo,” soon to be available on the Epik Prime Marketplace. The new collection pays homage to the remarkable life of the Los Angeles-born actor, who has been featured in countless films and is one of the most recognizable actors in all of cinema.
