Second Extinction is a co-op centered dinosaur-shooting FPS which first launched in Early Access again in October of 2020. Unfortunately, regardless of the crew’s greatest efforts, the sport seemingly failed to fulfill gross sales expectations – resulting in the title being set to completely go offline.
Making the announcement through their weblog, the crew at Systemic Reaction launched a put up titled ‘A FINAL UPDATE ON SECOND EXTINCTION’ through which they revealed the unlucky information, saying:
“We write to you at this time with a mixture of feelings as we share vital information about our future plans for the sport. After considerate consideration and exploration of our greatest plan of action, we’ve got made the troublesome resolution to finish lively growth of Second Extinction.”

With all this in thoughts, the title is being faraway from retailer fronts, and whilst you can nonetheless play the sport for now when you already personal it, Second Extinction will ultimately go offline sooner or later subsequent 12 months – although no actual date has been supplied but.
The one silver lining in all of that is that the crew assured followers that “there aren’t any layoffs related to this resolution. The ardour, expertise, and ability of the crew who labored on Second Extinction is being put to good use on different tasks throughout Avalanche Studios Group.”
It is a disgrace to see that the crew’s passions and concepts finally didn’t pan out the way in which that they had hoped, however it’s already encouraging to see that Systemic Reaction will proceed to function and work on new concepts. Hopefully their subsequent challenge hits the way in which they want it to.
