Today we're giving a sneak peek at what's coming soon to Primal Carnage: Extinction. From exciting new weaponry for the human team to a brand new dinosaur, there's a lot to look forward to!
NEW BLOOD
Before we get to the juicy stuff, we'd just like to extend a warm welcome to anyone jumping into the carnage for the first time this weekend!
Our free to try event starts today and ends on the 10th - that means for the next few days ANYONE can join in the fun. You can also pick up Extinction for 65% off during this time, tell your friends!
NEW DINOSAUR
We've been teasing something new is on the horizon the last week or so. Time to make it official.
Pachycephalosaurus is coming to Primal Carnage: Extinction this summer as a new playable class!
Rejected by the Phoenix Genetics Division for being "uncontrollable", a small handful of specimens managed to escape and survive in the wild. These are not your regular garden variety herbivores, having been genetically engineered to subsist on a diet of meat due to their natural food source being unavailable. They can certainly still digest plant matter, but crave the sustenance of flesh.
Whether they're naturally just mean tempered, or have developed a form of rabies, field reports remain unclear due to infrequent encounters in the wild. One thing is for certain, the mercenary team will have their hands full when they're thrust into combat with these angry armored arrivals this summer!
As with our previous class additions, Pachycephalosaurus will be added in a free update to the game, and will be available for everybody to play in every game mode.
We're really excited for this one and can't wait to reveal more about it!
Keep an eye on Twitter, Facebook and Discord for more on the new Pachy class in the coming weeks.
NEW WEAPONS
As discovered through this year's community scavenger hunt, the mercenary team will soon be receiving some serious hardware. May-hem will be unleashed next update with the addition of the new Burst Rifle for Commando and the versatile Compound Bow for Scientist...
Commando's new rifle uses an experimental SnapShot system to rapidly shoot several bullets almost simultaneously, before rotating a new bunch into the chamber. The scientist's bow can fire sharp tipped arrows at high velocity and swap alternate ammunition types in for different effects.
We hope these new additions to the human arsenal will introduce some nice variety, and there are even more weapons in development for later updates!
FEATURED CLASS: TYRANTS
Finally, the Tyrants are having their moment in the sun. For the next week, they are the featured class on the Extinction Store. We have a range of new and returning items - from model mutations, to taunts, to exotic skins, with many available for half price in the Specials area!
Featured Class changes every Friday, so check back this time next week to see who's in the spotlight! Until then, grab some sweet deals on Acro, Spino & T-Rex items before they're gone!
STAY INFORMED, GET INVOLVED!
We'll be revealing more about what's next for Primal Carnage: Extinction in the coming weeks and months across all our channels, but if you want to be first to know- join the official Discord server...
Interact with other players, participate in community contests, maybe even start making skins and maps!
MAY-HEM is on the Horizon
That's the end of today's roundup.
To our veterans: try to make the new arrivals feel welcome before swallowing them whole!
We'll be back later this month with the MAY-HEM update.
Until then...
Good Hunting!
-The Primal Carnage Team
