Second Extinction developer Systemic Reaction has announced it is ending active development on the game. The game’s servers will remain online for now, but Systemic Reactions plans to shut them down next year.
Second Extinction is a co-op, online shooter set in a futuristic world where mutated dinosaurs threaten humans. It released in early access for PC in 2020, and Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S in 2021. The game’s 1.0 version was meant to release late last year, but “critical” and “show-stopping” issues caused the studio to delay it.
“Unfortunately, it became clear that our small team lacked the resources necessary to hit our quality targets,” Systemic Reaction said on Steam, “and the investment needed to do so was too large for us to bear”. As such, the developer has decided to cancel the game’s full release.
