CELEBRATING 10 YEARS!
A DECADE OF
DINOSAUR ACTION
This October we are celebrating ten years since the original Primal Carnage game was officially released!
We here at Circle 5 have been stewards of the Primal Carnage franchise for the last eight years.
It's hard to believe we've been going this long - it's been quite a ride building Primal Carnage: Extinction into what it is today! As a smaller indie team, we're incredibly proud of what we've been able to achieve.
Nearly all of the current Primal Carnage developers are only able to work part-time, and you'd be able to count the live development crew on one hand since 2015... (we have a current team of five). Despite that, we have managed to pull off new game modes and even added new dinosaurs these last couple of years!
We must admit, none of what we've done would have been possible without the support of our dedicated and incredibly creative community.
From the beginning, we have worked hand in hand with fans, from the early days of Steam Workshop support, right up to the present. Going forward we will continue to directly commission the best and brightest from the Primal Carnage community to help us create new and exciting additions to the game!
Players have become developers over time, the artists among you helping to design new character models, craft new animations, build new maps, imagine inventive skins, and draw up epic artwork.
Thank you ALL for your support, we couldn't have done it without you!
Now, let's celebrate!

Coming Soon: HALLOWEEN HORRORS
The climax of our birthday bash is what you might call the "Halliversary" -our annual Halloween Horrors event starts 0ctober 25th! That's barely four days before the launch date of the original Primal Carnage, which debuted just prior to Halloween 2012.
As usual, you can expect a frighteningly good selection of horrific NEW looks, in addition to a sizable game update when Halloween Horrors hits Steam this October.
Pyro is finally getting a new primary weapon this Halloween, and we have made significant improvements to dinosaur hit detection among other gameplay adjustments. Even more upgrades to core features will follow later with Update 3.0, though we can't give a date for that just yet.
Oh, and there will be freebies.
Certain codes may or may not be getting activated around Halloween, and we have a little box of goodies in the form of the 10th Anniversary Gift. That's a *personal* gift just for you.
We hope you'll like it!
Coming Soon: CONSOLE EVOLUTION!
It's been a long road, but we are almost ready to officially announce the next phase for Primal Carnage on PlayStation platforms.
The console side has been lingering in the dark ages for far too long, and we’re all working hard to make sure that it will have been worth the wait.
Right now our team is in the final stages of submitting a beta for certification on PS4. With a little luck, we will be revealing more details during our 10th anniversary celebrations later this month.
Be sure to keep an eye on the official Primal Carnage Discord and www.primalcarnage.com for more info!
