DINOVEMBER is here and today's update marks the start of three weeks of Jurassic-sized sales!
Yep, we'll be rotating in another set of classic skins on the in-game store every week this month…

1. [h3]Raptor Week & The Spooky Spillover[/h3]
   
   
   
   From the vivid and striking to the subtle and camouflaged, 18 retro raptor looks are back with deep discounts! This week is a little special though, in that we have a few extra items that didn’t quite make it into the Halloween Horrors update.
   
   
   
   In addition to Raptor Week, several late but not least arrivals are here today. Among these are the menacing KRONOS Rex mutation, savage REGALIS Pachy mutation, the unnerving UNIFORMIS Dilo, and new skins such as the intricate Isidalwa Carno.
   
   
   
   And as the cherry on top, the Ornatus Tupa mutation is now available as a free drop.
   
   
2. [h3]Sales Upon Sales![/h3]
   
   
   
   Week 2 has the Tyrants stomp back into the spotlight with classic skins for Acro, Spino and T.Rex returning. They will have a handful of fan favourite mutations coming back, in addition to around two dozen classic looks for our fearsome threesome.
   
   
3. [h3]Let's Go Wild[/h3]
   
   
   
   Dinovember concludes with Wild Week 3, featuring some of the craziest looks to ever grace the game returning for a limited time. Oh, and one final thing...
   

[h3]Carnotaurus Robustus[/h3]

As of today, we’re giving everyone who owns Extinction a FREE default mutation for Carnotaurus, who has been left out in the cold until now. ROBUSTUS Carno is genetically enhanced with extra muscle mass, becoming so bulky it’s developed a bison-like humpback and stronger facial features.



You should have the mutation available to equip the next time you launch the game after updating.






We'll be back with the winter update mid-December, bringing a brand new deathmatch map developed alongside the community plus the usual avalanche of festive goodies!

We hope you enjoy this latest update to PCE and look forward to seeing you again next month,
