You don’t play a dinosaur. You survive as one. Grow from a vulnerable hatchling into a fully armored predator in a hostile open world where hunger, weather, and other dinosaurs can end your run permanently. Hunt, adapt, and endure or die and start again.

Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Evolution of the Ancients is being developed in Early Access to allow continuous refinement of its core survival systems, growth mechanics, crafting progression, and multiplayer ecosystem in collaboration with the community.

Early Access enables us to iterate on key systems such as nesting, armour progression, and territorial survival, while deepening the gameplay experience based on real player behaviour.Evolution of the Ancients is being developed in Early Access so its core survival systems, growth mechanics, crafting progression, and multiplayer ecosystem can be refined alongside player feedback. Early Access allows us to iterate on foundational systems such as nesting, armour progression, and territory survival while expanding depth based on real player behaviour.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We do not have a fixed end date for Early Access. Development will continue until core systems, performance, and content breadth reach the standard expected of a full release. Progress will be guided by player feedback, stability milestones, and long-term playability rather than a fixed timeline”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The full release will expand dinosaur species, progression depth, world events, AI ecosystems and large-scale multiplayer systems, alongside additional polish and optimisation”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version is fully playable and multiplayer-enabled, with core survival, growth, combat, and progression systems active. Some features, content, and polish are still in development”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Pricing may change over time as development progresses and new content is added. Final pricing has not yet been determined.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Community feedback is central to development. Players are actively involved through structured playtests, Discord discussions, in-game testing builds, and regular Steam updates. Feedback is used to guide balance changes, progression tuning, AI behaviour, and feature priorities. Major systems are refined alongside the community, with updates shaped by real gameplay data and player experience rather than fixed assumptions.”

About This Game

What if the dinosaurs never went extinct?
What if they learned to survive in new ways?

Life begins small.

You emerge vulnerable—your senses sharp, your body weak. Everything around you is a potential threat. Hunger pulls you into dangerous territory. Injuries linger. Poor positioning can mean being seen… and hunted.

Other dinosaurs move through the world with you. Some are players. Others are AI. You do not know which is more dangerous.

Day turns to night. Fog rolls in. Weather shifts the balance of risk. Sometimes the smartest choice is to hunt. Sometimes it’s to stay still and unseen.

There are no second chances.
Death ends growth.

Survival changes you.

If you Manage, the world begins to respond to you differently.

Your body changes. Your presence carries weight. What once chased you now hesitates. Juvenile survival is about restraint—knowing when not to act. Adulthood demands the opposite.

Territory becomes something worth defending. Rivals become unavoidable. Survival is no longer about hiding—it’s about holding ground.

Every species adapts differently. Strength, speed, awareness, and endurance all shape how you survive.

There is no correct path.
Only the one you manage to survive.

 

The world does not reset.

Evolution of the Ancients takes place in a persistent multiplayer environment shaped by player action. AI dinosaurs roam the landscape, creating constant pressure and unpredictability.

Over time, each server develops its own rivalries, alliances, and apex predators.

No two worlds evolve the same way.

Eventually, survival becomes more than staying alive.

You gather materials from the land brushwood, fiber, and natural resources to build nests that anchor your presence in the world. These become places of safety, progress, and risk.

You find a compatible AI mate and continue your lineage. Protecting nests and offspring introduces new responsibilities. The danger increases, but so does what’s at stake.

Survival shifts from endurance…
to legacy.

Progress is earned, not given.

Craft armor and equipment from the remains of fallen dinosaurs bones, teeth, osteoderms, and other prehistoric materials. Armor is physically visible on your dinosaur, reflecting adaptation and experience rather than abstract stat upgrades.

As development continues, crafting and progression systems will expand and deepen, allowing the game to evolve alongside its community.

Some dinosaurs survive alone. Others endure together.

Form packs with other players to hunt larger prey, defend nests, and challenge rival groups. Cooperation brings strength, but also dependence. Trust, positioning, and awareness determine whether a pack thrives or fractures.

Conflict emerges naturally in a shared world where space, safety, and dominance are never guaranteed.

Evolution of the Ancients is a survival journey defined by growth, risk, and experimentation.

Survive long enough to matter.
Grow strong enough to leave a mark.
Help shape what this world becomes.


Evolution of the Ancients is actively in development. Features, systems, and balance will continue to evolve over time, guided by long-term vision and informed by player feedback.
