About Second Extinction™

Second Extinction™ poster

Second Extinction is a co-op shooter built around fighting to reclaim an Earth overrun by dinosaurs, and the developers frame Early Access as a collaboration with the community to make the best game possible. Player feedback is meant to be heard loud and clear and to shape the development process, but there is already plenty to sink your teeth and claws into from day one, including 6 heroes, 12 weapons with 5 upgrade tiers each, and 6 missions plus special side quests spread across multiple regions of a large map.

The standout system is the War Effort, guided by the mantra that players win battles while communities win wars. Every region carries a unique threat level that the wider player base can lower through successful missions and activities, though the dinosaurs push back and concentrate their efforts wherever players are absent.

Each week the community sees the results of its work, for better or worse. Let a threat level spiral out of control and an especially tough Emergence Event will be waiting. Playing Second Extinction means joining an ongoing journey rather than simply picking up another co-op title, since every mission and every piece of feedback matters. As an indie action FPS on PC, it turns the fight against the dinosaurs into a shared, evolving war effort.
