At this point, you’re probably wondering. “Remaster?” Yes, Primal Carnage: Evolution is based on 2015’s Primal Carnage: Extinction, an asymmetrical multiplayer title for PC and PS4, which features a team of human players battling dinosaurs (also controlled by other players). Announced in September 2023, Evolution offers more dinosaurs, far more customisation options, and a “wealth” of new content for players.

That said, the original didn’t really garner much favor among critics – it has a 46 Metascore based on ten reviews. Steam is more positive, though – out of the 4,910 user reviews, 84 percent recommend the game, earning it a “Very Positive” rating. Strangely enough, Primal Carnage: Evolution isn’t coming to PC, though it already has microtransactions ready to go for launch in the form of premium currency called Phoenix Points.

We’ll wait and see how it pans out, but unfortunately, it all feels like a holding pattern until Capcom finally announces the next Dino Crisis.

A follow-up to Primal Carnage: Extinction, Primal Carnage: Evolution is currently available to wishlist on the PlayStation Store. Among other features, the game supports multiplayer for up to 16 players and features new dinosaurs, abilities, and weapons per the official website. It also offers a higher resolution and frame rate on PS4 Pro and PS5.

Offering a contrast to Extinction, Primal Carnage: Evolution also doesn’t seem to have a PC release planned, with the trailer mentioning only PlayStation platforms.

Much like its predecessor, Primal Carnage: Evolution will feature multiplayer action where one team of players take on the role of dinosaurs while other players are hunters, armed to the teeth to take on the dinosaurs. Evolution will feature an expanded roster of dinosaurs to play with over Extinction, as well as plenty of customization options.
