Bring Down Mutant Dinosaurs in Upcoming Co-Op Shooter ‘Second Extinction’
We know that everyone and their grandma wants Left 4 Dead to come back. But while we are getting a spiritual successor in Back 4 Blood, we still have to look for alternatives at present time.
One such alternative has arrived in the form of developers Systemic Reaction’s Second Extinction, which was revealed yesterday as part of Microsoft’s Xbox Event. The three-player, online cooperative shooter will be coming to the Xbox Series X, Xbox One, and PC. A release date was not announced, but a PC closed beta is scheduled for this summer.
In Second Extinction, your goal is simple: wipe out the mutated dinosaurs that have taken over the planet. 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 dinos.
“Second Extinction is a real passion project for our tight-knit team, and we’re just getting started,” says Brynley Gibson, Lead Producer at Systemic Reaction. “It’s incredible how far we’ve come in this short time and I’m super excited to reveal more details, including our live roadmap, in the coming months.”

Upcoming “Willy Wonka Meets BioShock” FPS ‘Twisted Tower’ Launches on August 18 [Trailer]
After dropping a demo last year for their upcoming “BioShock Meets Disneyland” horror title Twisted Tower, developer Atmos Games has announced an August 18th release date for the game, complete with a brand new trailer. While the demo is no longer available, you can, however sign up for the Playtest from the official Steam page.
Blast your way through an abandoned 1950s theme park, the eponymous Twisted Tower, crawling with fairy-tale mascots, twisted puzzles, and deadly traps. Uncover the dark secrets of your past as you race to the top to win the prize and the love of your life. It’s been decades since there’s been a single guest, but the park’s silly mascots will certainly be ready to accommodate you with expert fashion. They’ve been cooped up for years, so they may be looking for a hug.
Choose from dozens of unique paths up the cozy halls of the park castle as you explore its five areas. Sporting “punchy, bloody gunplay”, you can upgrade a slew of deadly weapons ranging from a whack-a-mole mallet to a skull-poppin’ ray gun, and gain new abilities as you climb your way up the tower to win a heaping pile of money and the hand of your childhood sweetheart, Charlotte.
