Primal Prey II: Extinction

'NOTE: This is a revamped version of my Primal Prey II (Primal Prey: Extinction)'' idea from my earlier days on this wiki. This is because I wanted to remake the idea with a fresh start and not make it so sloppy this time around.'''

~

Primal Prey: Extinction is a first-person horror/survival dinosaur hunting game created by Red Tooth Studios and published by Sunstorm Games, being released on March 14, 2021 for PC on Steam, and August 22, 2021 for consoles (Xbox One/Series X and PS5). It is a remake of Arush Entertainment and Sunstorm Interactive's (now Sunstorm Games) 2001 dinosaur hunting game Primal Prey, but it also takes elements from 2002's Carnivores: Cityscape, another dinosaur-based Sunstorm Interactive game.

Synopsis
The year is 2110. Humanity has greatly increased technologically, to not only where time travel is possible, but can be altered with no paradoxical repercussions to the present. However, only select individuals are granted the privilege to travel through time, and only select companies are granted the even bigger privilege of creating time travel. One select company, known as PaleoLabs Inc., provides individuals - primarily big game hunters - the hunting opportunity of a lifetime: to travel back in time and hunt the largest and most fearsome animals to ever walk the Earth: dinosaurs. However, before they are granted access to their time portal, each hunter must endure harsh training of their mental and physical states in order to prepare for the challenges that await them. Upon arriving on the primal landscape, they must become the predator to avoid becoming the prey.

Because only the cold-blooded survive.

The Hunter
The player character, known as the hunter, is a person of unknown background who was selected amongst the few individuals granted the privilege of becoming a part of PaleoLabs Inc.'s dinosaur hunting program, having gone through the training and deemed worthy to travel back in time in order to go on dinosaur hunting expeditions.

The player can create and customize their hunter, and can proceed to edit them afterwards.

The starter hunter begins with basic armor, a tranq pistol, a semi-automatic handgun, and a combat knife, but can unlock and purchase new armor, equipment, and firearms as they progress throughout the game. (See Equipment and Weapons)

Weapons
There are a wide variation of firearms, new and old alike, that have been added to Primal Prey: Extinction. They are divided into four groups: Melee, Archery, Firearms, and Miscellaneous. There are two types of weapons: Lethal, which kills dinosaurs, and Tranquilizing, which subjugates dinosaurs while keeping them alive. Each weapon is listed below.

Melee

 * Combat Knife
 * Price: Starter
 * Type: Lethal
 * Description: A medium-sized tactical combat knife with an extra sharp blade that can easily cut through softer dinosaur hide.
 * Machete
 * Price: $300
 * Type: Lethal
 * Description: A perfect weapon for self-defense against small and medium-sized carnivores. A longer, larger, and sharper blade can prevent potentially fatal bites from landing.
 * Tactical Axe

Archery

 * Recurve Bow
 * Price: $400
 * Type: Lethal
 * Ammunition: Recurve Arrows
 * Description: A simple lightweight recurve bow that is excellent for bringing down smaller dinosaurs, but lacks the penetration to take down medium and larger dinosaurs.
 * Compound Bow
 * Price: $3,600
 * Type: Hybrid
 * Ammunition: Compound Arrows, Sedative Compound Arrows
 * Description: A heavy compound bow that can be equipped with sights for more precise shots, and a heavy enough drawback to do lethal penetration to medium-sized dinosaurs. As a hybrid weapon, it can be equipped with both deadly and tranquilizing broadheads, making it a perfect secondary weapon.
 * Tactical Crossbow
 * Price: $6,200
 * Type: Hybrid
 * Ammunition: Crossbow Bolts, Sedative Crossbow Bolts
 * Description: A reinforced tactical crossbow that can be equipped with a scope for long range shots and a heavy drawback capable of doing damage to even the largest of dinosaurs.

 * Tranq Pistol
 * Price: Starter
 * Type: Tranquilizing
 * Ammunition: Tranq pistol darts
 * Description: A clip-fed tranquilizer pistol manufactured by PaleoLabs Inc. that fires a strong, yet slow-acting sedative. Several shots will be needed to bring down most dinosaurs.
 * Semi-Automatic Handgun
 * Price: Starter
 * Type: Lethal
 * Ammunition: 10mm handgun bullets
 * Description: A quick-firing 10mm pistol that would be more reliable as a sidearm than a primary hunting weapon.
 * Shotgun
 * Price: $1,200
 * Type: Lethal
 * Ammunition: 12GA buckshot shells
 * Description: A quadruple-barreled 12-gauge shotgun with a widespread and large automatic chamber, providing a little more protection from the more dangerous dinosaurs. It is best used at close range.
 * Hunting Rifle
 * Price: $1,850
 * Type: Lethal

 * Assault Rifle
 * Price: $2,500
 * Type: Lethal
 * Ammunition: 5.56 bullets
 * Description: This 5.56 assault rifle is perfect for mowing down smaller and medium-sized dinosaurs, though it isn't recommended as a primary firearm when hunting bigger game.
 * Sonic Blaster
 * Price: $3,800
 * Type: Tranquilizing
 * Ammunition: Infrasonic soundwaves
 * Description: A specially-built original weapon fabricated by PaleoLabs Inc. used to emit infrasonic soundwaves to stun dinosaurs. A few bursts will stun, continued use will kill.
 * Electron Gun
 * Price: $4,600
 * Type: Tranquilizing
 * Ammunition: Battery-charged
 * Description: Another of PaleoLabs Inc.'s specialty weapons, the electron gun is basically a weaponized Tesla coil. Firing charged high-voltage electrons, this weapon is excellent for stunning dinosaurs. It is not recommended to use in water, as the charge will revert back to the user.
 * Tranq Rifle
 * Price: $5,200
 * Type: Tranquilizing
 * Ammunition: Tranq rifle darts
 * Description: A heavy tranquilizer rifle loaded with potent sedative serum, providing the ability to immobilize dinos from long range. Equip with a scope and you've got great long-range capability.
 * Flamethrower
 * Price: $5,800
 * Type: Lethal
 * Ammunition: Flammable gas
 * Description: A modified flamethrower that sprays a large gout a flame capable of burning up smaller dinosaurs and deterring larger predators. It is not recommended for regular hunting use, as it can severely damage the trophy quality.
 * Freeze Ray
 * Price: $7,600
 * Type: Lethal
 * Ammunition: Liquid nitrogen agent
 * Description: This specialty weapon emits a misty freezing agent composed of liquid nitrogen that freezes the dermal layer of a dinosaur's skin and cooling down the blood, causing them to move slower. Its primary purpose is to slow dinosaurs to the point they're easier to kill or sedate, but continued use can cause the dinosaur to die of hypothermia.
 * Shrink Ray
 * Price: $10,500
 * Type: Unknown
 * Ammunition: Classified
 * Description: One of PaleoLabs Inc.'s most classified weapons, the shrink ray fires radiation that shrinks whatever it comes in contact with by slowly dissipating tissue mass, yet not harming the target. The shrink ray can shrink the largest dinosaurs down to a more manageable size, allowing them to be killed or knocked out easier, but limited use is recommended, as too much use can shrink the target to microscopic levels.
 * Sniper Rifle
 * Price: $12,000
 * Type: Lethal
 * Ammunition: .470 bullets
 * Description: Due to modern technology, this slender-built rifle is capable of firing full metal jacketed .470 rounds at far distance and extreme speeds, providing long-range killing power, allowing for long-range capability to take down dangerous carnivores from a safe distance. Exceedingly effective with a scope attached.
 * X-Rifle
 * Price: $16,000
 * Type: Lethal
 * Ammunition: Gamma-produced plasma
 * Description: Primarily used by the Space Force, the X-Rifle fires a concentrated form of gamma radiation that converts into an explosive plasma projectile upon contact with a target. This is an excellent weapon for self-defense, though it is not recommended for primary hunting use, as it can ruin the value of the trophy.
 * Stasis Gun
 * Price: $20,000
 * Type: Tranquilizing
 * Ammunition: Classified
 * Description: A prototype of one of PaleoLabs' most recent inventions, the stasis gun is highly classified. This weapon fires a small projectile of energy that bursts into a much larger sphere upon contact with a dinosaur, which adds tension to the nerves and muscles, making it harder for the dinosaur to move, then locking it into a temporary state of stasis, essentially making it become a living statue. This weapon is perfect for those missions to trap a large and dangerous trophy.
 * 2mm Railgun
 * Price: $30,000
 * Type: Lethal
 * Ammunition: Plasma-like electromagnetic projectiles
 * Description: An ultimate in killing, this weapon is PaleoLabs Inc.'s magnum opus in weaponry. This railgun fires a small, plasma-like projectile at extreme speeds, making it a devastatingly-powerful weapon against large dinosaurs. Attach with a scope, and you're basically untouchable. Not recommended for smaller game.

Miscellaneous

 * Stasis Landmine
 * Price: $10,000
 * Type: Tranquilizing
 * Description: This landmine, designed by PaleoLabs Inc., was the precursor to the stasis gun, containing the same elements that compose the projectiles. Upon being triggered via being stepped on, the stasis mine bursts into a large stasis sphere, which tenses the nervous and muscular systems of anything caught within, temporarily locking the target into a state of stasis. It is advised to remain a good distance away from a stasis mine, as the proximity of the blast can affect you as well.
 * Plasma Landmine
 * Price: $16,000
 * Type: Lethal
 * Description: This landmine, designed by PaleoLabs Inc., contains the same elements of the X-Rifle. Upon being triggered via being stepped on, the plasma mine combusts into a large amount of gamma radiation-based plasma that severely damages anything within its blast radius. It is only recommended to use this for self-defense purposes, as it can easily ruin trophy quality. It is also recommended to remain a safe proximity away from any plasma mines, as the combustion can be very deadly.

Equipment
Primal Prey: Extinction offers a variety of equipment, a majority being the equipment from the original game. There are four categories of equipment: Armor, Optics, Essentials, and Miscellaneous. Armor, Optics, and Essentials can only be bought in the store, while Miscellaneous equipment is either already on the player or bought while on a hunt.

Armor

 * Basic Armor
 * Price: Starter
 * Description: Composed of a chrome steel and titanium alloy, this armor was manufactured by DinoLabs Inc., specifically for hunters, to endure bites and blows from saurian attackers, as well as the environment, while maintaining a lightweight build to allow free movement.
 * Intermediate Armor

 * Railgun Scope
 * Price: $20,000
 * Description: A scope attachment for the 2mm Railgun. Provides high magnification for more precise long range shots.

Essentials

 * Cover Scent
 * Price: $500
 * Description: This high-grade scent eliminator uses ozone to help reduce your human scent, allowing you to remain better undetected by both prey and predator dinosaur species alike.
 * Dinosaur Bait (Herbivore)
 * Price: $1,200
 * Description: A deployable device that, when placed in the soil, emits the fresh scent of wet ferns from the ventilation ports on the sides in order to attract feeding herbivores.
 * Dinosaur Bait (Carnivore)
 * Price: $1,400
 * Description: A deployable device that, when placed in the soil, emits the scent of fresh blood from the ventilation ports on the sides in order to attract hungry carnivores.
 * Call Box
 * Price: $2,200
 * Description: This dual-purpose call box, created by PaleoLabs Inc., was designed to emit the vocalization of a specific dinosaur as well as simultaneously display a holographic image of that species.

Upgrades

 * Wristblades
 * Price: $2,500
 * Description: Modeled after the claws of Falcarius, these internal wristblade mechanisms are an additive to your armor suit. While they do not provide much protection against larger predators, these wristblades are very effective at dealing with the smaller, swarming predators.
 * Advanced Wristblades
 * Price: $25,000
 * Description: Modeled after the claws of Therizinosaurus, these internal wristblade mechanisms are an additive to your armor suit. Being elongated, sturdier, and sharper than the previous wristblade build, these newer wristblade models are able to deter larger predators for a short period of time, and are extremely effective against medium-sized carnivores.

Miscellaneous

 * Topographical Setting Unit (TSU)
 * Price: Starter
 * Description: The Topographical Setting Unit (TSU) is a small device created by PaleoLabs Inc. that displays a holographical image of your environment, including your coordinates and the location of the time portal, should you get lost. The TSU can also mark down deployed equipment, dinosaur corpses, and discovered footprints. This is arguably your most crucial item, so do not lose it whatever the cost!
 * Harvested Dinosaur Scanner (HDS)
 * Price: Starter
 * Description: The Harvested Dinosaur Scanner (HDS) is a small device created by PaleoLabs Inc. that scans information of any dispatched dinosaur, including the coordinates, which are sent back to PaleoLabs Inc., who then transport the harvested dinosaur back to the present in order to be shipped to its destination, whether that be the contractor or your own trophy collection.
 * Ammunition Resupply
 * Price: Starts from $500 and doubles every resupply per hunt
 * Description: A small device that with a press of a button, notifies PaleoLabs that you are in need of an ammo resupply. A small drone will be sent from a time portal from above to place the ammunition crate in front of you. It is recommended to only use this a select amount of times per hunt, as each time you call for a resupply, the price of a resupply doubles.
 * Relocation Call
 * Price: Starts from $800 and doubles every relocation per hunt
 * Description: A small device that with a press of a button, notifies PaleoLabs that you would like to be relocated to a different spot. Afterwards, a portal will appear on the side that will bring you to your requested spot on the TSU. It is only recommended to use this a select amount of times per hunt, as each time you call for a relocation, the price of being relocated doubles.
 * Emergency Tether
 * Price: Starter
 * Description: The emergency tether is a small device that when activated, sends an emergency evacuation call to PaleoLabs Inc. that you are in severe danger and need to immediately be transported back to the present. However, if this is used, your harvested dinosaurs are also sacrificed, being sent back to their original time period, resulting in no payment for mission completion.

Species
There are a variety of species in Primal Prey: Extinction, including the original 9 from the first Primal Prey.

There are 6 levels of aggression: Ambient, Unkillable, Passive, Neutral, Aggressive, and Extremely Aggressive. Ambient animals are small animals that can be killed, but are not huntable. Unkillable animals are passive, but are too large to be killed. Passive dinosaurs will not attack the hunter, and will flee if approached or shot at. Neutral dinosaurs will not mind the hunter's presence, but will retaliate if approached or shot at. Aggressive dinosaurs will attempt to eliminate the hunter if they spot or catch scent of them. The highly classified extremely aggressive specimen has a ravenous thirst for human blood, and will stop at nothing to taste human flesh.

Each species also has a trophy requirement for both genders. Trophy dinosaurs are indicated by the length, weight, and height of the individual. Harvesting a trophy dinosaur during a free hunt (see Gamemodes) fills in half a star for that dinosaur. The other half is filled when a trophy of the opposite sex is harvested.

Each species is listed below. More info can be found on their dossier pages. (coming soon)

Maps
There are a variety of maps throughout the game's campaign, with the starter map being the Cedar Mountain Formation (Utah). The following maps are unlocked upon completion of all the previous map's missions (see Missions). Information of each map, including species, is listed below.

I. Cedar Mountain Formation, Utah, United States


 * Time Period: Early Cretaceous, 118 MYA
 * Species: Nedcolbertia, Hippodraco, Gastonia, Geminiraptor, Utahraptor, Falcarius, Iguanacolossus, Moabosaurus, Cedarosaurus
 * # of Missions: 12
 * Description: The first destination of PaleoLabs Inc.'s hunting tour, this general area of the Cedar Mountain Formation, known as the Yellow Cat Member, back during the Early Cretaceous was a semi-arid environment dotted with floodplain prairies, riverine forests, and conifer-based open woodlands. During the morning, herbivores can be spotted on the move on course to the wetlands in order to feed upon the aquatic reeds during the afternoon. Many of the carnivores, including Utahraptor, can be sighted within the woodlands during the day, awaiting their hunting hours during the night, where they move towards the wetlands in order to prey upon the herbivorous dinosaurs that reside there. This location would eventually turn into what is modern-day Emery County, Utah.

'''II. Dinosaur Park/Judith River Formation, Alberta, Canada'''


 * Time Period: Late Cretaceous, 74 MYA
 * Species: Nyctosaurus, Stegoceras, Rativates, Latenivenatrix, Edmontonia, Euoplocephalus, Dromaeosaurus, Styracosaurus, Pachyrhinosaurus, Parasaurolophus, Lambeosaurus, Edmontosaurus, Gorgosaurus, Deinosuchus
 * # of Missions: 16
 * Description: In what would become modern-day Alberta, Canada, resides the second destination of the PaleoLabs Inc. dinosaur hunting tour. Intertwining into what would become the Dinosaur Park and Judith River Formations, this general area was teeming with flora and fauna alike. The environment was primarily composed of floodplains and swampy-forested environment influenced by marine conditions as the Western Interior Seaway began to transgress westward, allowing the large crocodilian Deinosuchus to make its way into this area. The floodplains are dominated by herbivores, including ceratopsians, ankylosaurs, and uniquely-crested hadrosaurs alike, throughout the day as they travel and feed, while the swamps act as housing for the carnivores, including the large tyrannosaurid Gorgosaurus. Meanwhile, alongside the coasts, small pterosaurs can be seen feeding upon fish and washed up carrion, and Deinosuchus can be seen basking. On rare occasion, Deinosuchus can also be spotted inwards within the seafaring rivers. During the night, the nocturnal predator Latenivenatrix can be encountered. Even though there is a hefty sum of danger, this area proves that what's dangerous, can also be beautiful.

'''III. Morrison Formation, Wyoming, United States'''


 * Time Period: Late Jurassic, 150 MYA
 * Species: Dryosaurus, Nanosaurus, Ornitholestes, Tanycolagreus, Camptosaurus, Ceratosaurus, Allosaurus, Stegosaurus, Diplodocus, Apatosaurus, Brachiosaurus
 * # of Missions: 15
 * Description: Currently the earliest destination in PaleoLabs' tour, the extensive Morrison Formation during the Late Jurassic period was teeming with life of all sizes. A mixture of environments, this region was full of floodplains, open fields, and even deserts. Herbivores of all sizes would congregate within the fields and floodplains, scrounging what vegetation they could find. These herbivore species included massive sauropods, such as Brachiosaurus and Diplodocus, the world-renowned Stegosaurus, and the unique Camptosaurus. Alongside the herbivores were a variation of carnivores, ranging from the primitive coelurosaurian Tanycolagreus, up to the well-known lion of the Jurassic, Allosaurus. This massive geological area would eventually turn into one of the largest dinosaur digsite quarries in the world, taking up parts of Wyoming, Colorado, and Utah.

'''IV. Wessex Formation, United Kingdom'''


 * Time Period: Early Cretaceous, 115 MYA
 * Species: Valdosaurus, Aristosuchus, Hypsilophodon, Eotyrannus, Polacanthus, Baryonyx, Iguanodon, Neovenator
 * # of Missions: 10
 * Description: A marine-based environment, what would become the Wessex Formation on the Isle of Wight contained a unique variety of life. Full of mudflats, lagoons, and marshes, the setting proved to be quite treacherous, though the native species had accustomed to their environment. The first described dinosaur, Iguanodon, can be found here, feeding primarily upon the vegetation in the marshes. The spiky nodosaurid Polacanthus can also be found alongside herds of Iguanodon. Hunting alongside the water, the medium-sized spinosaurid Baryonyx can be seen scouring for fish or young and injured dinosaurs to feed upon. Though the dinosaurs do not pose a major danger, the rugged swampy environment may prove to be more than a handful for even the most experienced hunters.

V. Elrhaz Formation, Niger


 * Time Period: Early Cretaceous, 115 MYA
 * Species: Elrhazosaurus, Lurdusaurus, Ouranosaurus, Kryptops, Suchomimus, Eocarchia, Nigersaurus, Sarcosuchus
 * # of Missions: 10
 * Description: Consisting of a hot and humid tropical environment, the Tegama Beds of Niger's Elrhaz Formation were nature's test to its inhabitants. The general area is full of floodplains and fast-moving rivers, with regular periods of drought as temperatures increase. Unique hadrosaurs, like the sail-backed Ouranosaurus, resided here, grazing upon the aquatic vegetation. A variety of predators also called this region home, including Suchomimus, Kryptops, and Eocarchia. However, the apex predator was not saurian, but crocodilian. Containing an elongated jaw with an extremely powerful bite force, Sarcosuchus guaranteed that the edges of the water were not safe, not even for the sauropod Nigersaurus. Take risk when scouring the water edges, or you may end up finding yourself in a very unfortunate position.

'''VI. Candeleros/La Colonia Formation, Patagonia, Argentina'''


 * Time Period: Late Cretaceous, 95 MYA
 * Species: Buitreraptor, Tapejara, Unidentified Iguanodont, Carnotaurus, Ekrixinatosaurus, Giganotosaurus, Limaysaurus, Andesaurus
 * # of Missions: 10
 * Description: Full of both arid badlands, humid tropical wetlands, and coastal plains, this large region bridges together what would become the Candeleros Formation. Swarms of small Buitreraptor would actively scour around the trees, hunting for insects and lizards, while the pterosaur Tapejara scoured the skies - especially above the coast - in search of their next meal. Sauropods, like Limaysaurus and the massive Andesaurus can be spotted traversing throughout the badlands, making their way into the swamps to feed, while the apex predator, Giganotosaurus, followed behind in order to gain a meal for itself. Abelisaurs, Ekrixinatosaurus, can also be found scouring about, searching for a meal. The only non-native species to the region was the implemented Carnotaurus, which seems to be faring well under the new environment. It is heavily advised to take great caution before going toe-to-toe with the local carnivores.

'''VII. Bahariya/Kem Kem/Echkar Formation, Egypt'''


 * Time Period: Early Cretaceous, 95 MYA
 * Species: Rugops, Bahariasaurus, Carcharodontosaurus, Spinosaurus, Aegyptosaurus, Paralititan
 * # of Missions: 8
 * Description: In what is now modern-day Egypt once resided marine swamps and tidal flats. As the third-to-last stop on PaleoLabs' tour, this is also one of the most dangerous. Residing within the swamps lurked one of the largest and most unique predators to ever live, Spinosaurus. While slow on land due to its short and stubby legs, this subaquatic behemoth made up for it by being able to swim at high speeds while underwater, making it a very fearsome ambush predator. To follow, the massive Carcharodontosaurus actively moved, on the hunt for just about anything, as food was scarce. Sauropods also called this region home, including the Aegyptosaurus and Paralititan, the only dinosaurs that were relatively safe from the local predators.

'''VIII. Nemegt Formation, Mongolia'''


 * Time Period: Late Cretaceous, 70 MYA
 * Species: Velociraptor, Homalocephale, Mononykus, Oviraptor, Gallimimus, Protoceratops, Alioramus, Saurolophus, Tarchia, Therizinosaurus, Tarbosaurus, Nemegtosaurus
 * # of Missions: 15
 * Description: A relatively humid, desert-like environment, the prehistoric Gobi Desert was full of danger of every shape and size. Due to the intense heat caused by global climate change, water was a regular need for every living organism within this area. The infamous Velociraptor resided here, grouping together in large packs to overwhelm their larger prey. This region was full of unique dinosaurs, such as the dome-headed Homalocephale to the giant-clawed Therizinosaurus. Most dangerous of all was Tarbosaurus - a close relative of the T. rex - which hunted anything it could get its massive, powerful jaws upon. As the second-to-last destination on PaleoLabs Inc.'s tour, this is definitely the point where you should be stocked up on powerful weapons and adorning durable armor before entering.

'''IX. Hell Creek/Lance Formation, Montana, United States'''


 * Time Period: Late Cretaceous, 66-65 MYA
 * Species: Acheroraptor, Pectinodon, Leptoceratops, Thescelosaurus, Ornithomimus, Anzu, Dakotaraptor, Pachycephalosaurus, Quetzalcoatlus, Denversaurus, Ankylosaurus, Anatosaurus, Triceratops, Tyrannosaurus
 * # of Missions: 16
 * Description: The final destination on the tour, this general area merged into what would become northeast Wyoming, northwest South Dakota, and a large portion of southern Montana. This large area consisted of a subtropical climate with large metasequoia forests, floodplains, and fields. A variety of dinosaur species resided here, including some of the most famous dinosaurs. From raptors like Acheroraptor and Dakotaraptor, ankylosaurs like Denversaurus and Ankylosaurus, up to the three-horned Triceratops and the tyrant king Tyrannosaurus rex. This time period and area marked the endgame for the dinosaurs, thus to correspond, is also the endgame for the hunters as well.

X. PaleoLabs Inc. Headquarters, Salt Lake City, Utah, United States


 * Time Period: Present Day, 2110 A.D.
 * Species: Alpha Pectinodon, Alpha Gastonia, Alpha Quetzalcoatlus, Alpha Utahraptor, Dilophosaurus, Nanotyrannus, Alpha Styracosaurus, Megalosaurus, Alpha Iguanodon, Alpha Lambeosaurus, Alpha Triceratops, Alpha Tyrannosaurus
 * # of Missions: 5
 * Description: Following a catastrophe within the PaleoLabs Inc.'s headquarters revealed what is amongst their darkest secrets. After the breakout of an enormous, classified asset, an outbreak of their genetically-altered and mutated saurian subjects occurred. Many employee casualties transpired in the evacuation process, and the headquarters are now on lockdown in order to prevent the modified "Alpha" dinosaurs and the genetic mutants from escaping. As a result of many failed attempts to recapture or neutralize the specimens, PaleoLabs Inc. has no other choice but to rely on their only remaining hunter to dispatch of the escaped dinosaurs and the classified asset: you. Steady your nerves and calm your instincts, and remember: only the cold-blooded survive.

More coming soon.

Trivia

 * The lead artist of Primal Prey and Carnivores: Cityscape, Todd Marshall, returns once more to be the lead artist of Primal Prey: Extinction.
 * The original nine huntable species from Primal Prey - Gastonia, Utahraptor, Pectinodon (renamed from Troodon to stay up-to-date with modern paleontology), Iguanodon, Quetzalcoatlus, Triceratops, Lambeosaurus, and Tyrannosaurus - maintain their original Primal Prey colors, with their model designs updated to be paleontologically accurate.
 * Additionally, the species from Carnivores: Cityscape that also appear in Primal Prey: Extinction - Oviraptor, Tapejara, Nanotyrannus, Suchomimus, and Giganotosaurus - maintain their Cityscape-esque designs with up-to-date models.


 * The tranq pistol, shotgun, sonic blaster, electron gun, tranq rifle, shrink ray, sniper rifle, stasis gun, and 2mm railgun are the original firearms from the first Primal Prey. Meanwhile, the x-rifle is implemented from Carnivores: Cityscape.
 * The Triceratops species was changed from T. horridus to T. prorsus due to recent paleontological evidence suggesting that T. horridus was a younger, maturing version of T. prorsus.
