From Press Release:
Chicago, Ill –September 2nd, 2026 – 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.
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. MFL2 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 buzzsaws start spinning, and the mutant worms start feasting.
It’s the perfect nightmare playground for GWAR, and a crossover MFL2 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 MFL2 team includes:
- Blöthar the Berserker
- BälSäc the Jaws ‘O Death
- JiZMak Da Gusha
- Grodius Maximus
- Beefcake the Mighty
- Sawborg Destructo
- Bonesnapper
GWAR lead singer Blöthar the Berserker commented, “Today, the Antarctica 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 team in MFL2, 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 GWAR without a killer venue. Antarctica Scumdogs introduces a spectacular new stadium steeped in GWAR mythology – along with a few surprises we’re saving for launch.

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!
