Second Extinction, the dinosaur-hunting FPS from Just Cause developer Avalanche's new Systemic Reaction studio, will come to Steam Early Access very soon. The studio has confirmed the game will launch there in September 2020.

Second Extinction's early access version will include a "really robust rock-and-roll shooter to play with," the developer said in an FAQ. The purpose of launching in an unfinished state is to "dial in our core gameplay and mechanics to the perfect frequency at launch," the team said.

The early access will include the newly announced War Effort "metagame." The overall dino threat level in the game will depend on how players perform by killing dinosaurs, completing missions, and partaking in extra activities. "This constant wave of conflict will affect the kind of enemies, activities, rewards, and more you’ll encounter in any given region," Systemic Reaction said.
