A new patch is now available for Primal Carnage: Extinction on Steam!
We have updates to the official merch shop, another retro store rotation and several fixes / tweaks...


We're mainly focusing on minor tweaks and quality of life fixes currently while preparing to launch the PlayStation beta. Today's patch includes several of these changes.

Dinosaurs now have a new more "Primal" feeling crosshair, which turns blood red when hovered over an enemy (those who prefer a minimal look can swap to a simple dot in the gameplay settings). This change is particularly helpful for Tyrants, whose giant heads can obscure the targets they are trying to eat.

The mercenaries can now trigger inspection animations for several weapons by pressing Reload when they have a full clip. We'll be expanding this to *all* weapons in a future patch.

Camera animations have started to be updated, with adjustments to sniper rifles and the netgun motions. Tyrant footsteps now have more noticeable screenshake that persists across a greater distance, with a longer and more pronounced camera wobble which hopefully makes them less "stealthy."

However, our primary focus on PC has been investigating some of the more stubborn old bugs. One of the more devious issues was projectiles "losing their owner" on death, leading to human teammates catching fire or exploding if someone was autobalanced or died at the worst moment.

This has now been resolved, and we're looking into squashing other annoying issues with partial fixes already. If possible, please report any serious bugs you encounter on the Bug-Reporting[discord.com] channel of the official discord and include your latest .log file (found in the Logs folder of your PCE game install).



The official merchandise store[store.primalcarnage.com] now features a new batch of items, ranging from action-packed posters to truly Jurassic-sized mouse mats!

There are brand new dark mugs such as the ominous Novaraptor Stasis, more T-shirt variants, and some lovely stickers to show your dino appreciation.
