‘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.

Behaviour Interactive is busy this week. Already having dropped a new teaser trailer for The Casting of Frank Stone, they’ve now announced that they’re teaming up with Icelandic developers Haenir Studio to help with development of the Medieval co-op action horror title Blight: Survival.
“Teaming up with Behaviour Interactive signals the next major phase of development for Blight: Survival,” said Haenir Studio Co-Founder, Mads Christensen. “With Blight: Survival, we set out to deliver an ambitious and unique experience for players. Being able to utilize Behaviour’s resources, expertise, and horror pedigree will be instrumental in bringing our vision to life. We’re thrilled to kick off this journey together.”
First announced back in 2022, Blight: Survival takes place in the no man’s land between two desperate kingdoms locked in a ceaseless war. Within this realm of death and decay, a new strain of Blight has erupted from the remains of the fallen. Fed and strengthened by the blood that’s been spilled, it rapidly spreads, turning man into monster. As a result, the call goes out for those brave enough to take on the dead with the promise of wealth as a reward.
“As a game we were already looking forward to playing ourselves, we couldn’t be happier about this collaboration,” shared Stephen Mulrooney, Executive Vice President at Behaviour Interactive. “Working with talented studios like Haenir Studio in this type of partnership will be a focus for us as we look to publish more and more external games in the coming years. This is the start of something new and exciting for Behaviour, and we’ll be keeping our eyes open for interesting opportunities.”
While Blight: Survival does not currently have a release date, Haenir Studio and Behaviour Interactive are eager to share more details about the game and its ongoing development in the future. Currently, you can wishlist the game on Steam.
