Calling all Extinction Elites,

The first phase of Basic Training is over. Time to take it up a notch. Time to kick the hornet’s nest.

Pre-season 2 introduces a new mode, weapon, enemy, and more!

Expedition mode lets you roam the map freely without being tied to a mission. Your efforts will have a bigger and more visible impact on the War Effort, but beware: The dinosaurs are increasingly angry. Expect heavy resistance.

Starting with the release of this pre-season the War Effort will update twice a week: On Mondays and Thursdays at 13.00 CET you will see and feel the consequences of your actions - or your inaction. So keep an eye on your progress and be prepared, for there are new Emergence Events in the mix. Also, remember to take a well-deserved break when the clock hits the hour to avoid getting disconnected.

Now for the technical bit: The team has been working hard on fixing crashes and black screens, getting contracts working, balancing ... Read more

Cheers,
- The Second Extinction Team

Hello, Extinction Elites!

It's Simon Vickers here, Game Director on Second Extinction. With the release of our next ‘Pre-Season’ just around the corner, I wanted to give everyone a quick rundown of what to expect from one of its big new features: Expedition Mode.

WHAT is Expedition Mode?
During the game's development, we had the concept of a ‘Free Roam’ mode that sat happily alongside the Missions that you have all been playing. A mode that allowed you and your squad to pop down to Earth, exterminate some dinosaurs, and extract at your leisure without the need to finish a whole mission. It was something of a throwaway feature, but we saw that it had the potential to tie a lot of our other systems together, given a bit more time and focus. This is where Expedition Mode comes in! Same player-driven structure but with a bunch of extra features that encourage player choice in how they achieve their goals with their actions having more of a direct impact on the ... Read more

You’ve fought well during the first Early Access pre-season! Now it’s time to continue your basic training and enter pre-season 2: The Hornet’s Nest.

This is what you have to look forward to:

• Expedition mode: Take in the beautiful environments and explore the big map without being tied to a mission. Make a more significant impact on the War Effort as you explore with your team, and if you’re a lone wolf gamer, this might be the mode for you.
  
• Rocket Launcher: Rosy’s got a new baby, don’t let it run dry.
  
• Overmutated Raptor: A new enemy type that has a chance to appear during specific Emergence Events.
  
• New Emergence Events, seasonal contracts, and cosmetic rewards!

Pre-season 2 drops on December 16 at 13.00 CET.

Hello, Extinction Elites!

Our first update is now live! Supply Drop #1 delivered Mission Difficulty Settings, so you can set Hard or Insane levels for your mission attempt. We can already see some of the feedback coming in about how you’re treating these settings, such as the desire for an Easy mode for solo players or making Insane even more insane. Keep sending us the feedback, and we’ll keep adjusting these settings to best fit what you all have in mind.

The goal for these State of The Game updates is to keep a line of communication open from us to you. Of course, you can reach out at any time via our Discord, but a lot of that can be lost in the chatter, so this letter is a vehicle to talk about three specific things.

What Have We Learned
As mentioned above, Mission Difficulty Settings was the first update to the core game experience. This was done as a result of the early feedback we got during our playtests about how 3-player experiences aren... Read more
