Primal Carnage: Genesis is an upcoming story-driven single-player game developed by Lukewarm Media. It is a prequel to their previous game, the multiplayer-focused Primal Carnage.
Genesis takes place in a world where dinosaurs have been brought back from extinction on a remote island. Players must fight to survive after the animals escape, and will explore a mix of tropical and man-made environments teeming with dangerous prehistoric life.
Development
In March 2013, Primal Carnage: Genesis was announced[1] for PC and PlayStation 4, with the game set to be released first on PS4 as a timed exclusive. Genesis is being built using Unreal Engine 4. It is intended to serve as a prequel to the first game, exploring the origin of the dinosaurs' resurrection and their subsequent escape. As of August 2014, Lukewarm Media have stated that development of the game has been suspended, while the team focus on fixing and enhancing the original Primal Carnage.[2]
Enemies
Genesis will have the player combat many different types of dinosaurs, and a plethora of other prehistoric reptiles, such as Pterosaurs. Most, if not all, of the dinosaurs seen in the original Primal Carnage are expected to return. A number of models were created for Lukewarm Media's first dinosaur game that ended up going unused. This included the Compsognathus, which was seen in the second Primal Carnage: Genesis reveal trailer, prompting speculation that other creatures which were previously shelved may find their way into the new game. There will also be dinosaurs that are not openly hostile towards the player, such as the herbivorous Brachiosaurus seen in the second reveal trailer. The dinosaurs chosen to be included may possibly be dictated by fan feedback.
