Primal Carnage Update and 66% Off!

Primal Carnage - Valve

Primal Carnage has just been updated to include the free "Get to the Chopper" mode and "Battle-Scarred T-Rex" skin. To celebrate Lukewarm Media and Reverb Publishing are offering 66% off Primal Carnage for one week!*

Primal Carnage has just received a new, free update called “Get to the Chopper,” aptly named after the new objective based game mode. In the “Get to the Chopper” game mode, human players must rush against the clock (and dinosaurs!) to take a series of objectives before they are able to be extracted by a helicopter.

The “Get to the Chopper” update adds four new maps and introduces a new playable dinosaur class called the Spinosaurus, both of which are specific to the new game mode. The Spinosaurus is a more powerful tank class designed to better defend against the humans in dire situations.

Lastly, every owner of Primal Carnage gets a Battle-Scarred T-Rex skin, which shows a bloodied T-Rex that's seen its fair share of combat.

To celebrate the release of Primal Carnage’s new free game expansion Lukewarm Media has teamed up with artist, Infected Mushroom to create a new gameplay trailer showcasing the myriad of action, awe and terror to be expected in the “Get to the Chopper” game mode, which is set to the heart pumping track, "Nation of Wusses," from the album Army of Mushrooms.

*Offer ends March 13th at 10AM Pacific Time.
