Ten Years of Primal Carnage!
[h3]A DECADE OF DINOSAUR ACTION[/h3]
October 2022 marks 10 years since the original Primal Carnage was officially released!
We here at Circle 5 have been stewards of the franchise for the last eight years. It's hard to believe we've been going this long - it's been quite a ride building Primal Carnage: Extinction into what it is today!
As a smaller indie team, we're incredibly proud of what we've been able to achieve. Nearly all of the current Primal Carnage developers are only able to work part-time, and you'd be able to count the live development crew on one hand since 2015... (we have a current team of five). Despite that, we have managed to pull off new game modes and even added new dinosaurs these last couple of years!
None of what we've done would have been possible without the support of our dedicated and incredibly creative community. We have worked hand in hand with fans, from the early years of Workshop right up to the present day, and continue to directly commission the best and brightest from the Primal Carnage community to help us create new content...
Players have become developers over time, the artists among you helping to design new character models, craft new animations, build new maps, imagine inventive skins, and draw up epic artwork.
Thankyou ALL for your support, we couldn't have done it without you!
Now, let's celebrate!
[h3]10 YEARS, 10 SALES[/h3]
The party's starting in-store NOW! Yes we're running a retro store sale every couple of days during October! Dozens upon dozens of classic looks are returning with limited-time discounts.
Each store rotation has its own little theme, from featured classes to mercenary memories, with the autumnal collection being a through-line that reappears. Check out the sales schedule below:
Worried about missing featured items from the day before? Check the Specials tab!
All discounts will remain active until the Halloween update is live.
Additionally, we are now including a Paint Mixer Tool for applying dino skin changes when you buy a multi-pack of colours from the in-game store. Paint Mixers sold separately are now indefinitely discounted to $2.99. Look for more bundles and extra colours to pop up in future!
[h3]MERCH STORE MADNESS[/h3]
Keep an eye out for new additions to the Primal Carnage online store this month!
That's right, more merch is incoming! There are several new posters in the works, including a classic piece by veteran concept artist Trey Bishop...
These will appear over time as we near the franchise's 10th birthday, in addition to new shirts, mugs, stickers and more (including some of the runners-up in the recent merch design contest)!
But that's not all...
Receive 25% off your online order of posters, wearables or accessories by using the code Carnage10
*This special discount is limited to one use per customer and ends on November 4th!
[h3]Coming Soon: HALLOWEEN HORRORS[/h3]
The climax of our birthday celebrations is what you might call the "Halliversary" - our annual Halloween Horrors event starts around 0ctober 25th. That's barely four days before the launch date of the original Primal Carnage, which debuted just prior to Halloween 2012.
Expect a frighteningly good selection of horrific NEW looks, in addition to a sizable game update. Pyro is finally getting a new primary weapon this Halloween, and we have made significant improvements to dinosaur hit detection among other gameplay adjustments. Even more upgrades to core features will follow later with Update 3.0, though we can't give a date for that just yet.
Oh, and there will be freebies.
Certain codes may or may not be getting activated around Halloween, and we have a little box of goodies in the form of the 10th Anniversary Gift. That's a *personal* gift just for you. We hope you'll like it!
[h3]Coming Soon: CONSOLE EVOLUTION[/h3]
It's been a long road, but we are almost ready to officially announce the next phase for Primal Carnage on PlayStation platforms. The console side has been lingering in the dark ages for far too long, and we're working hard to make sure that it will have been worth the wait.
Right now our team is in the final stages of submitting a beta for certification on PS4, and with a little luck we will be revealing more details during our 10th anniversary celebrations this month.
Keep an eye on the official Discord and primalcarnage.com for more info!
[h3]HAPPY ANNIVERSARY![/h3]
Thanks again for being with us on this journey. We still have countless ideas for how to expand PCE and Primal Carnage in general, and hope you'll join us as we venture into the franchise's second decade.
Here's to many more years! -The Primal Carnage Team
Special thanks to community artists TerexTheMenace, BBQ and ChunkoHunko for creating these anniversary celebration doodles!
