Second Extinction is a first-person shooter about reclaiming Earth from mutated dinosaurs. Players choose from six heroes and can tackle missions with up to two friends; the game is designed around squads, though it also includes solo play.
Players travel across regions, taking on missions and side quests while battling dinosaur hordes and completing objectives. Regions have threat levels that shift with the community’s mission results, and unchecked threats can lead to tougher Emergence Events.
The game includes 11 weapons with five upgrade tiers each. Players can also take on a wave-based Survival mode, managing equipment and upgrades while waiting for periodic rescue opportunities.
