‘Dino Crisis’ Spiritual Successor ‘Dinobreak’ Available Now on PC and Consoles [Trailer]
Known for their Outbreak series of games, developer Dead Drop Studios has switched up zombies for dinosaurs with their new spiritual successor to Dino Crisis in Dinobreak. Available today on PC and consoles, the devs aren’t fooling around when it comes to paying tribute to Dino Crisis: Dinobreak outright warns you that it looks, plays, and sounds like a Survival Horror (or Panic Horror, if you want to get technical) game made in 1999.
As expected, Dinobreak‘s story is pretty simple. You play as Lydia, one of the people in city of Cypress Ridge, which just so happens to have a dinosaur problem. Together with other survivors, Lydia looks to uncover the origins of the onslaught, all the while trying to find a way out. The game contains the hallmarks of Capcom’s Panic Horror classic: Cheesy acting, “extreme” gore, inventory and resource management, the option of using fixed camera angles and tank controls and, of course, plenty of scares.
Unlike Dino Crisis, Dinobreak features a single-player campaign as well as two-player co-op. The game also sports an arcade mode called Operation: Feral Raptor that’s described as “a non-stop action packed bonus mode across the entire city”.
Dinobreak is available now on PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series, and the Nintendo Switch.

Back in 2021, Saber Interactive announced that they were working on a “single-player, story-driven horror adventure game” inspired by John Krasinski’s A Quiet Place. Now, Saber Interactive and developer Stormind have pulled back the curtain on A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead, coming later this year to PC via Steam, PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series.
A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead is a new story in the A Quiet Place universe, and is designed “for fans of the films, horror games, and story-driven adventures alike.”
The story centers on a young woman struggling to endure not only the nightmarish alien creatures that have invaded earth, but also the anguish of interpersonal family conflicts and her own inner fears. With nothing more than your wits and the simple tools you can scavenge, you’ll have to overcome the many treacherous challenges and obstacles that lay ahead, all while trying to survive an ever-present threat of the unknown enemies.
As one might expect, sound plays an important part in the gameplay. You’ll need to hide, distract, and sneak past the creatures, all the while exercising caution to not make any noise. Players will need to use their wits and ingenuity to observe each environment, leverage whatever tools they can find, and overcome danger.
More info regarding A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead, including its release date, is expected soon. In the meantime, players can check out the game’s official site for more info.
Meanwhile, the third entry in the film series, a prequel spinoff movie titled A Quiet Place: Day One and directed by Michael Sarnoski (Pig), heads into theatres on June 28.
