Primal Carnage: Evolution, A Remaster of 2015’s Primal Carnage: Extinction, Launches on May 28th

Out of nowhere, Circle 5 Publishing has announced that Primal Carnage: Evolution will launch on May 28th for PS4. A new gameplay trailer is available, featuring what else, but dinosaurs and humans colliding in matches. Despite launching for a previous-gen console, the remaster also supports increased resolutions on PS4 Pro and PS5.

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.
