Dear Steam Community,
I’m excited to share more details for all of you eager dinosaur fans!
What is PREDATORS?
Who are you?,
You play as a prisoner who agreed to be transferred to a new kind of prison, one that doesn’t care about rehabilitation, only profit. Beneath the facility lies a hidden lab where the true operation takes place: creating dinosaurs and selling them to the highest bidder for military use.
These dinosaurs lack the primal instincts they once had. To restore them, the company conducts live training within massive arenas. And who’s the bait? You. To flaunt their creations to the world, the arenas double as entertainment shows, filled with drones, cameras, and thousands of spectators watching you fight to survive.
How do the dinosaurs work?,
PREDATORS will launch with 6 unique dinosaurs, each with its own AI, abilities, and behaviors. Every dinosaur has been hand-crafted, no reused logic, to make each one feel alive, unpredictable, and terrifying.
What is a playthrough like?,
You’re dropped into an arena where you must solve a large puzzle to open an escape hatch while being hunted by dinosaurs.
Each round features one specific dinosaur, meaning every match demands a different strategy. You won’t know which one you’re facing until you either hear its sound or see it. Environments are dynamic, it could be day, dusk, or night, and weather can shift between heavy rain, dense fog, or clear skies. These variations make every match feel fresh, tense, and atmospheric.
Progression,
Each prisoner has a reputation system, showing how much profit you generate by creating entertainment in the arena. Your reputation increases when you:
Betray teammates,
Pull off close escapes,
Take risks,
It decreases when you:
Die (obviously),
Play it safe,
Hide too long,
Move slowly,
A higher reputation unlocks larger arenas, and with them, more dangerous dinosaurs to face.
PREDATORS is set to release in 2026.
Cheers,
Patrick @ Nightmare Studios
