News: A new title where it is up to you to save humanity will arrive on consoles and PC in the first quarter of 2018.

A new action game is coming to Xbox One, PS4 and PC from Maximum Games and Iron Galaxy, titled Extinction. As far back as anyone can remember, humanity has been at war with itself. For generations, kingdoms have fought amongst themselves while the real threat loomed in the distance. Only those trained in the ways of the ancient order stand a chance at defeating the 150-foot-tall ogres and the armies that trail in their wake. You are one of the world’s last Sentinels, a soldier named Avil, equipped with the skills to battle the endless waves of Ravenii.

In Extinction, you’ll fight massive ogres and their minions across a sprawling countryside, defending cities and rescuing native villagers torn from their homes. Swiftly define your strategy as hordes attack from the ground and air. Use the dynamic skill-based combat system to tactically disarm and dismember enemies before going in for the kill.

“Extinction is absolutely relentless,” said Kraig Kujawa, Game Director at Iron Galaxy. “We’re really happy with the fast, fluid feel of the game and we’re looking forward to showing it behind closed doors at E3.”

“As the protagonist tasked with a huge undertaking - both in fighting enormous ogres and saving humans from disaster - each player’s experience will be varied, as the landscapes and battle situations are never identical,” said Derek Neal, Executive Producer at Maximum Games.

Some of the game’s features will include:

Deep Story Campaign - Protect the human population across an abundant story campaign, rescuing as many civilians as possible and taking down brutal opponents.

Dynamic Side Missions - Complete numerous side missions with various objectives, earning upgrades to aid you in your campaign.

Skill-Based Combat - Travel horizontally and vertically, perform wall runs, and use your whip as a vault to perform devastating air assaults. Master dynamic combat maneuvers to effectively traverse the giant beasts and expose their weak points, progressing along different skill trees to develop a path best suited to your playstyle.

Interactive Environment - Move freely around a fully destructible environment, and use objects throughout the world to your strategic advantage.

Innumerable Battle Scenarios - Every battlefield is different from the last, ensuring a unique combat situation each time you play.

Custom Battles - Create custom battlegrounds with varied objectives, and challenge players online to compete for the top score.

Extinction Mode - Fight off a continuous horde of assailants as wave after wave of ogres and their minions attack without relent.
