Second Extinction is a 3-player, online co-op shooter in which players team up to reclaim Earth from mutated dinosaurs.

Second Extinction offers non-stop action, forcing players to think fast and shoot faster in short but intense combat operations across a beautiful yet dangerous frozen world.

Teamwork is vital as you adopt the role of one of the survivors, using a unique combination of weapons, abilities and skills to take on the vast number of enemies. Fight through a maelstrom of bullets, bombs, teeth, claws and gore, it's up to you to reclaim Earth!

Made by a small group of 35 talented developers from 15 different countries, Second Extinction is the first title developed by the division’s team in Malmö, Sweden. The game offers players fast and fluid combat as they fight side by side against a wide variety of beastly predators long thought extinct — now mutated and deadlier than ever!


Systemic Reaction announced that Pre-season 2 is now live on Steam Early Access ($24.99).

Titled “The Hornet’s Nest,” this new content update will make fightin’ around the world even more of a blast while introducing new challenges, goodies and more.

Here’s what you can expect in Pre-season 2:

  • Expedition Mode: A new mode which lets players freely explore the surface without having to be on a mission. Players can explore the map solo or as part of a squad, and complete activities at a more relaxed pace. Your actions will also count more heavily toward the global War Effort metagame.
  • New Weapon – Rocket Launchers: Rosy the Enforcer gets an explosive new weapon with its own upgrade path, perfect for slaying giants and mopping up the dino hordes.
  • War Effort & Emergence Event Changes: You’ll find four new emergence events, plus the new Overmutated Raptor, a faster, deadlier dino who has a chance to appear during these events.
  • New weekly seasonal chain contracts that can be completed for special rewards like cosmetics, weapon skins, nameplates, etc.
  • An exclusive nameplate reward for logging in.
  • Plus a variety of improvements, fixes, balance updates and more.
The game will continue to introduce new weapons, challenges, dino mutations, War Effort emergence events, gameplay improvements and more throughout early access, with new updates made regularly to the game’s content roadmap.

Key Features:

  • Intense Three-player Co-op Earth is overrun by mutated dinosaurs! Team up with up to two other resistance fighters to take it back in short but intense combat operations.
  • Battle Mutated Monstrosities — These dinos are nothing like the ones in your history books! From electric raptors to behemoth T-Rexes that tower over the horizon, these deadly creatures have evolved into the ultimate killing machines.
  • Experience Spectacular Action — Combine your fireteam’s unique weapons and abilities for explosive results against overwhelming opposition in challenging combat set pieces.
  • Take Part in a Joint Effort — Your actions, together with the rest of the community, will shape the course of the war against the dinosaurs.

Second Extinction is currently in development for Xbox One and PC, with an Xbox Series X version to follow in 2021.
