During the recent Inside Xbox, Systemic Reaction a studio that is part of the Avalanche Group, revealed Second Extinction, a team based shooter, where dinosaurs have taken over the earth.

Brynley Gibson, Lead Producer on the game at Systemic Reaction took to the Xbox Blog to explain a bit more about the game.

“Evil Mutant Dinosaurs have taken over the Earth.” That was the pitch Emil, Creative Director at Systemic Reaction, gave me when I came by Avalanche Studios Group for a job interview. A big grin crept across my face. I knew I had to join and help build the team to make the game.

Running with that high concept at its core, Second Extinction is a fast-paced co-op shooter elevated by playing with your friends, although we’d love to see some solo mission runs on Mixer for the truly hardcore.

As the dinosaurs took over our planet, some people made their escape to an orbital station set up by a group called the ERA. Humanity has licked its wounds and now returns to find out more about this unbelievable enemy. This is where The Extinction War begins. Players pick from a roster of four survivors from around the world, a group that will continue to grow after launch.

There is a lot more on the post, including how they balanced dinosaurs being cool, but recognisable, so go and check it out.
