New details released for Extinction

Iron Galaxy has today released a new developer diary for Extinction, narrated by the games Executive Producer Derek Neal. This video talks about some useful skills players can equip to quickly eradicate the massive Ravenii threatening the kingdom of Dolorum.



Choices matter in Extinction. It’s up to our hero, Avil, to use his powers to transport civilians to safety while also slaying his foes and completing other necessary objectives. Ground and air minions - known as Jackals and Vultures - each have to be dealt with in their own ways, but it’s the armoured Ravenii that require extra-special attention. One wrong move could mean death for the townspeople or destruction for the cities.

As seen in the Skills & Strategy video, there are a number of upgrades obtained through the game’s skill tree that will aid Avil tremendously, giving him an advantage over the many elite Ravenii he will battle. Some of these include the Rune Slowdown and Air Recovery abilities. One of the most important skills in the game, Rune Slowdown allows Avil to essentially freeze time, buying a few precious seconds to focus on a particularly difficult task. Air Recovery allows you to regain control when you fall or are knocked down, which will help you stay atop an ogre long enough to plan your next manoeuvre. This makes it a valuable skill to employ once you’ve successfully made contact with a Ravenii’s body.

The game is set to release on Xbox One, PC and PlayStation 4 in the Spring of 2018, no exact date is yet known.
