Iron Galaxy has announced a new action game where players fight giant ogres as tall as skyscrapers in battles reminiscent of those seen in Attack on Titan. The fast-paced and bloody title Extinction will release in Q1 2018.
As one of the world’s last Sentinels, players battle armies of minions and the giant Ravenii as they defend the countryside and its native inhabitants. Extinction will provide varied player experiences as the landscapes and situations are never identical.
“As the protagonist tasked with a huge undertaking—both in fighting enormous ogres and saving humans from disaster—each player’s experience will be varied, as the landscapes and battle situations are never identical,” said Derek Neal, Executive Producer at Maximum Games.
A number of Extinction’s main features can be read below.
• Deep Story Campaign: Protect the human population across an abundant story campaign, rescuing as many civilians as possible and taking down brutal opponents.
• Dynamic Side Missions: Complete numerous side missions with various objectives, earning upgrades to aid you in your campaign.
• Skill-Based Combat: Travel horizontally and vertically, perform wall runs, and use your whip as a vault to perform devastating air assaults. Master dynamic combat maneuvers to effectively traverse the giant beasts and expose their weak points, progressing along different skill trees to develop a path best suited to your playstyle.
• Interactive Environments: Move freely around a fully destructible environment, and use objects throughout the world to your strategic advantage.
• Innumerable Battle Scenarios: Every battlefield is different from the last, ensuring a unique combat situation each time you play.
• Custom Battles: Create custom battlegrounds with varied objectives, and challenge players online to compete for the top score.
• Extinction Mode: Fight off a continuous horde of assailants as wave after wave of ogres and their minions attack without relent.
Extinction it set to launch in Q1 2018 for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC. The game will be shown behind closed doors at E3 2017 according to Iron Galaxy Game Director Kraig Kujawa, who described the game as fast, fluid, and absolutely relentless.
