Iron Galaxy and Maximum Games Announce Extinction for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC
Legend calls them the Ravenii, encroaching armies of bloodthirsty monsters that once threatened to destroy humankind. Now, the threat has returned. Iron Galaxy and Maximum Games are proud to announce their thrilling, fast-paced action game – Extinction.
As far back as anyone can remember, humanity has been at war with itself. For generations, kingdoms have fought amongst themselves while the real threat loomed in the distance. Only those trained in the ways of the ancient order stand a chance at defeating the 150-foot-tall ogres and the armies that trail in their wake. You are one of the world’s last Sentinels, a soldier named Avil, equipped with the skills to battle the endless waves of Ravenii
In Extinction, you’ll fight massive ogres and their minions across a sprawling countryside, defending cities and rescuing native villagers torn from their homes. Swiftly define your strategy as hordes attack from the ground and air. Use the dynamic skill-based combat system to tactically disarm and dismember enemies before going in for the kill.
“Extinction is absolutely relentless,” said Kraig Kujawa, Game Director at Iron Galaxy. “We’re really happy with the fast, fluid feel of the game and we’re looking forward to showing it behind closed doors at E3.”
“As the protagonist tasked with a huge undertaking - both in fighting enormous ogres and saving humans from disaster - each player’s experience will be varied, as the landscapes and battle situations are never identical,” said Derek Neal, Executive Producer at Maximum Games.

Maximum Games and Iron Galaxy Studios have released the first gameplay trailer for Extinction, their June-announced action game where players fight against 150 foot-tall ogres.
Here’s a brief overview of the game, via Maximum Games:
Only you have the power to save humankind.
They are known as Ravenii – waves of massively destructive ogres wiping out everything in their path: cities and the innocent civilians that inhabit them. As the last trained Sentinel and the only one capable of diffusing the endless hordes of Ravenii, you must use your inherent power to defeat the ogres and their minions before time runs out.
Sprint across rooftops, alongside buildings and through crumbling villages ravaged by the encroaching army, using speed and strategy to save humanity from these immense monsters, each equipped with various types of weapons and armor.
The fate of humankind is in your hands. Extinction is not an option.
Extinction is due out for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC in early 2018.
