[h2]🚀 What’s next for Pyramid Games?[/h2]
Many of you have been asking about the future of Dinosaur Fossil Hunter and our team's current focus.

As you know, after releasing many updates for DFH (culminating in the v2.5 PC Update in March 2024), our small team shifted full focus to our other ambitious title: Occupy Mars: The Game.

Developing Dinosaur Fossil Hunter taught us incredible lessons about simulation games, which we used to make Occupy Mars better. Now, after a long journey in Early Access, we are thrilled to announce that
🚀 Occupy Mars is scheduled to leave Early Access and hit version 1.0 on January 30th, 2026!

We hope you will keep your fingers crossed for a successful launch! 🤞

[h3]👀 Looking towards the future (and maybe a sequel?)[/h3]
Reaching the 1.0 milestone for Occupy Mars is a huge moment for us. It closes a very busy chapter and, more importantly, opens new doors.

Once we deliver the full experience for our Mars explorers, we will be able to look at new horizons. We dream of returning to the world of paleontology with a fresh perspective. We are seriously considering a potential Sequel to Dinosaur Fossil Hunter in the future—this time built from the ground up on Unreal Engine 5 to deliver better performance, stunning visuals, and deeper mechanics. ✨

While we can't promise dates or specifics just yet, we want to know: What would be your #1 feature request for a potential Dinosaur Fossil Hunter 2 on a next-gen engine? Let us know in the comments! 👇

[h3]Stay connected![/h3]
Thank you for playing, for your patience, and for sharing our passion for science and adventure.



Happy Fossil Hunting!
Pyramid Games Team

Big news – Dinosaur Fossil Hunter is now available on Xbox One X/S and Xbox Series X/S! If you’ve ever dreamed of stepping into the muddy boots of a real-life paleontologist and you are a console player - this is your golden ticket to a thrilling prehistoric journey!



Many of you have asked about this so we are happy to announce that the Xbox version is finally ready! This is our first 100% self-made Xbox game. Porting it from Steam was a very long process and took us over a year! The road to this Xbox port wasn't easy as we had to learn a lot in the process but the final effect is worth it! 🫡

We wish you all a wonderful rest of August! 🦖
