‘Quantum Error’ Developers Unveil Dinosaur FPS ‘Son and Bone’ for PlayStation 5 [Teaser]
After giving fans a taste of underwater cosmic horror with Quantum Error, developer TeamKill Media is now looking to scratch that Turok itch with their dinosaur-themed FPS Son and Bone. The game will launch later this year for the PlayStation 5, and has an appropriately over-the-top announcement teaser.
And speaking of cheese, here’s the overview for Son and Bone, courtesy of Push Square:
When a local farm in Patchwork, Montana is attacked by a group of notorious bandits, Sheriff Sam Judge sets out to bring them to justice by any means necessary and save the hostage they have taken. But on his journey, through the mysterious motives of those he pursues, Sam finds himself transported to another world overrun with prehistoric creatures, dinosaurs and now must fight for his life to make it back to earth.
Admittedly, it’s still not Dino Crisis, but then again, we can always use more dinosaur shooters. Son and Bone joins upcoming titles like Jaw Drop Games’ Deathground and Hashbane’s Instinction for those who are looking to blow away prehistoric reptiles. Heck, we even have Saber Interactive’s Jurassic Park: Survival for those Alien: Isolation fans.

Take a Deep Dive Into Gameplay with the New Trailer for ‘The Relic: First Guardian’ [Watch]
On the heels of The Relic: First Guardian getting its revised release date a few weeks back, Project Cloud Games and Perp Games have released a new (nearly) 13-minute gameplay deep dive video for the upcoming dark fantasy Soulslike. Along with noting that players will encounter stories inspired by traditional Korean folktales and legends, the trailer showcases some of the dungeon-crawling segments they’ll be encountering on their quest.
The Relic: First Guardian takes place on the fictitious continent of Arsiltus. You are the First Guardian, charged with embarking on a heroic adventure to save the world. The once-prosperous Arsiltus was swallowed up by the void created by the destruction of the great relic and transformed into the land of death. Now your mission is to find the pieces of the broken great relic and close the void.
Featuring more than 70 bosses known as “Brutals”, each one carries a personal tale of sorrow and tragedy of how they came to be the formidable foe that plagues the lands. It’s your task to overcome each Brutal by using a combination of unique weapons, magic, and skills that can be tailored to each playstyle or enemy interaction. As expected from its inspiration, every defence and dodge consumes stamina, requiring you to plan your attacks as well as your counters.
Players that come out victorious will inherit each unique tragic story of their enemy’s demise, along with special items, enhancements, and upgrades to progress through the story. These will aid in every subsequent fight as you explore vast environments and collect fragments to unlock more skills and weapons.
Look for The Relic: First Guardian on PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam on July 31, while versions for the Xbox Series and Nintendo Switch 2 are expected later this year.
