Play OverviewPlay Overview

Second Extinction (2020) is team based shooting game, where squads of three work to kill mutated dinosaurs that have taken over the planet. You play one of a handful of survivors and must work with two other online players with weapons, abilities and skills to take on the vast number of enemies.

The game is played in short intense missions where you go after specific enemies in different locations. From electric raptors to behemoth T-Rexes that tower over the horizon, these dinosaurs have evolved into the ultimate killing machines.

You choose between different styles of resistance fighters with unique skills and weapons. Ranged, close combat, gadgets. Find the right combination with the rest of your team.
