Systemic Reaction’s co-op dinosaur slaying shooter Second Extinction is ending development. The developer officially announced that it will be delisted from sale, and servers will shut down in 2024. Along with not achieving the desired success, the team faced “unforeseen show-stopping issues that prevented us from leaving Early Access and Game Preview.”
Launching in October 2020 for early access, Systemic Reaction originally planned to release version 1.0 last year. However, a few “critical issues” resulted in it being pushed back. “Unfortunately, it became clear that our small team lacked the resources necessary to hit our quality targets and exit Early Access and Game Preview, and the investment needed to do so was too large for us to bear.” This would help explain the relative lack of updates in the past year or so.
“After evaluating our options and working during this year to find other potential solutions, this became the reality our team had to face.” It will communicate “well in advance” when the servers shut down next year.
While it’s not the best situation for the developer or those who bought into early access, there have been no layoffs. “The passion, talent, and skill of the team who worked onSecond Extinction is being put to good use on other projects across Avalanche Studios Group. We ask for your understanding and compassion towards the team members involved in the project who poured their hearts into this game as we move on to our next adventures.”
As a squad-focused first-person shooter, Second Extinction saw players battling across regions to help the War Effort. Though tackling unique threat levels, the success of other players could lower them. If it gets too high, an Emergence Event could occur.
What’s next for Systemic Reaction? It announced the completion of development for Ravenbound on October 5th, and other projects are in the works. As always, stay tuned for future announcements.
