Second Extinction Launches Out of Early Access on October 20 for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One & PC
Systemic Reaction’s intense co-op dino shooter will hatch with a massive update featuring a new map, new dinosaurs and much more!
During today’s Xbox Showcase, Systemic Reaction announced that its action-packed co-op dinosaur shooter Second Extinction will officially release on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and PC on Oct. 20, 2022. After over two years of improvements during early access, the full version of Second Extinction will deliver the ultimate dino FPS experience with tons of new content and enhancements at launch.
Here’s what’s coming this fall:
- New map and biome, effectively doubling the game area, allowing players to explore a new, savanna-based environment with new narrative missions and activities.
- Two totally new dinosaurs, including a new flying species, plus two new mutations to the existing roster of reptilian threats.
- Revamped progression system, increasing the level cap from 50 to 99, with an expanded difficulty spectrum.
- Refined weapon upgrade system, allowing players to upgrade the power of their weapons, unlock perks to change their behavior, and upgrade support equipment for more customization options than ever before.
- Free roaming and hot joining, letting players start new missions directly from the map without having to leave the session, as well as join active games. Players can also bank resources and change loadouts by visiting bunkers scattered across the world.
- A host of other improvements including a revamped War Effort metagame, revised contract system, new cosmetic rewards, enhanced UI, UX and onboarding, and more!
Second Extinction pits teams of up to three players against swarms of bloodthirsty dinos in fast-paced battles across Earth’s post-apocalyptic wastelands. Equip a range of uniquely powerful weapons and abilities and fight on your own or with friends against monstrous dinosaurs long thought extinct — now mutated and deadlier than ever! The War Effort adds another layer of depth to Second Extinction, with ever-changing threat levels, world conditions, emergence events and more to give players new challenges every time they drop in.
Second Extinction is currently available on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, the Microsoft Store for PC, and Xbox Game Pass for consoles and PC via Xbox Game Preview.
