Dear Knights and Dames,

Many have embarked on this quest since October 16th. However, many more are needed to vanguish the evil bastards once and for all! That's why the emperor, and I, have decided to reduce the recruitment fee by 40% during the Steam jousting tournament (officially known as 'Steam Strategy Fest 2023'). This event will take place from Augustus 28th until September 4th starting at 10AM pacific time.

May your conquests lead to glory!

Open The Gates! To War We Go!

Yours sincerely,
The Advisor

A new patch is now available for Primal Carnage: Extinction on Steam.


This patch primarily addresses an exploit with the compound bow that would make it fire like a minigun.
We fixed this ASAP as it also allowed scientists to continue firing while pounced or being eaten.

In addition to the bow fixes, we resolved a long-standing problem with default loadout availability. If you are unable to connect to the economy servers, you will now still have access to the entire default inventory instead of only a handful of items.

Previously, if you weren't fully connected you'd be unable to use alternate weapons at all. With this patch you can at least still use the complete arsenal even if your customizations are not there.

• Fixed being unable to use all of the default items when not connected to economy
  
• Fixed an exploit that could cause the bow to fire at ludicrous speed
  
• Fixed the Prime Cerato skin being missing from the customization list in-game
  
• Fixed the Battleburned Tupa skin having fibers

We're working on a bunch more quality of life fixes such as these for future patches, in addition to a bigger rewrite of server connectivity that should roll out later this autumn. Thanks for playing!



The Meltdown Event is still running and will be here until mid September! A second helping of sizzling special deals has just gone live, with dozens more classic items returning in addition to the spicy new set added with our most recent major update. Get 'em while they're hot!

Hello everyone,

Just a quick announcement to say we've added German and Simplified Chinese translations added to Small Kingdoms Prologue which will of course carry over to the full game

We will be looking to add more translations over the next several weeks

The languages we'll be adding include French, Spanish and Italian

We look forward to sharing the Small Kingdoms Prologue with everyone soon and adding more translations means more people can enjoy the game

Take the very first look at GRIME 2 in this GAMESCOM Announcement Trailer!
Become Formless, a being of hands and paint. And make the shapes of your foes your own in a world obsessed with art.



Wishlist on Steam!

Set in a new land in the GRIME universe. GRIME 2 has you venture into a mysterious world obsessed with art. Where blades and fingers grow from the ground and thriving towns can be made of enormous vases and hair-growing-trees.



GRIME 2 Features:

Molds- Absorb defeated enemies, shaping them into molds which can then be used for special attacks.
Use molds to throw enemies, fire projectiles, stun, and even turn into summons.

Environmental Combat - Wherever you go, the environment provides ample opportunities to damage enemies nearby or from a distance. Be wary, for they can do the same to you!



Parry and Grasp - Send hand-tendrils to either parry enemy attacks or grasp and absorb them, drawing you closer to learning their shape.

A Lived-in World - Discover incredible locations made of painted nails and giant vases, each with its own unique civilization, culture, and deep characters to converse with.







And lastly... Updates on our last GRIME DLC, and the Switch port -
So, first of all, we're deeply sorry for the long stretch of silence on the matter of the Switch port. We don't take for granted any of you that have patiently been waiting for so long.

We always believed it is better to hold on and keep chiseling at the port rather than rush it out a technical mess. No matter how long that took.

It has been a lot, and I mean A LOT of work to get the port to where it is now, but we are finally getting ready for launch.

As for the last DLC, we are currently aiming to launch it alongside the Switch port, so expect some more news regarding an exact release date very, very soon.
