'Extinction' (ALL) Gets Release Date, Pre-Order Incentives

by Rainier on Jan. 30, 2018 @ 9:35 a.m. PST

Extinction is a fast-paced action game where you'll fight massive ogres and their minions across a sprawling countryside, defending cities and rescuing native villagers torn from their homes.

As far back as anyone can remember, humanity has been at war with itself. For generations, kingdoms have fought amongst themselves while the real threat loomed in the distance. Only those trained in the ways of the ancient order stand a chance at defeating the 150-foot-tall ogres and the armies that trail in their wake. You are one of the world’s last Sentinels, a soldier named Avil, equipped with the skills to battle the endless waves of Ravenii.

In Extinction, you’ll fight massive ogres and their minions across a sprawling countryside, defending cities and rescuing native villagers torn from their homes. Swiftly define your strategy as hordes attack from the ground and air. Use the dynamic skill-based combat system to tactically disarm and dismember enemies before going in for the kill.

Prepare to save humanity from the formidable Ravenii on April 10, 2018.
