Primal Carnage: Extinction was co-developed by Circle 5 along with Pub Games, based in Australia. In addition to a Windows version, it was also announced that the game would receive a PlayStation 4 port. Owners of the original game could purchase the sequel for a discount.
Ĭircle 5 announced in October 2014 that the free update would instead be released as a separate game, Primal Carnage: Extinction, which would serve as a sequel and a paid update. The new company consisted of a modding community dedicated to the original game.
Circle 5 Studios took over the Primal Carnage series later in 2014, following disagreements within Lukewarm Media over a planned prequel game known as Primal Carnage: Genesis. The rebuild, referred to as Primal Carnage 2.0, was initially planned as a free update.
As of 2014, the company was working on a complete rebuild of Primal Carnage, replacing its game code for a less-glitchy gameplay experience. The original Primal Carnage was developed by Lukewarm Media and released for Microsoft Windows in 2012. Other modes include Survival, in which humans face off against a growing number of dinosaurs and Free Roam, allowing players to explore a level without objectives. In the latter, human players try to reach a helicopter and escape while dinosaur players try to stop them. Game modes include Team Deathmatch and Get to the Chopper. Playable creatures include Carnotaurus, Dilophosaurus, the fictional Novaraptor, Pteranodon, and Tyrannosaurus. Humans have an array of weapons to use, while dinosaurs roar to activate a number of different abilities, although a waiting period exists in between the use of such abilities. Playing on the human team switches the game to a first-person shooter. Gameplay is viewed from a third-person perspective when playing as a dinosaur. The game pits humans against dinosaurs, with team members on both sides divided into character classes. Primal Carnage: Extinction is an asymmetrical multiplayer game similar to its predecessor, Primal Carnage. The PlayStation 4 version, developed by Panic Button, was released on October 20, 2015. It was released for Windows on April 3, 2015. However, Circle 5 Studios took over development from Lukewarm Media, and announced that the update would instead be released as a separate game known as Primal Carnage: Extinction, co-developed by Pub Games. The sequel began as a complete rebuild of the original game and was to be released as a free update. Like its predecessor, it features similar first-person shooter human gameplay and third-person dinosaur gameplay. The game is an update and sequel to the 2012 Windows game Primal Carnage, which was developed by Lukewarm Media. Players choose which team to play on, and each team has a set of characters divided into classes. It features human versus dinosaur combat. Primal Carnage: Extinction is an asymmetrical multiplayer game released for Microsoft Windows and PlayStation 4.
