Our first chapter
Evolution of
the Ancients
Start small.
Grow into a leader.
Grow from a vulnerable hatchling into a herd leader. Recruit AI dinosaurs, team up with other players and craft bone armour for your herd. Build nests and raise young in a persistent prehistoric world.
From hatchling to herd leader
Every life.
Something to lose.
Gather your herd
Recruit AI dinosaurs to follow your lead, or group up with other players to hunt and protect one another. Use your species’ strengths to take on larger prey and defend your nesting grounds. Know when to move your herd out of danger.
Turn bones into armour
Gather bones, teeth, osteoderms and other materials from fallen dinosaurs to craft armour and equipment. Armour appears on your dinosaur when equipped. Make it for yourself and your herd before heading back into danger.
Build a home for your herd
Gather brushwood, fibre and other natural materials to build your nest. Choose where you settle carefully: you’ll need to defend it. Find a compatible AI mate, raise offspring and continue your lineage.
Defend what you have built
Other herds share your hunting grounds and nesting areas. Some may share; others may drive you out. In a persistent multiplayer world populated by players and roaming AI dinosaurs, alliances and rivalries form over time. Get to know your neighbours and decide who to trust.
Survive long enough to lead
Begin as a small, vulnerable hatchling. Hunger forces you out of cover, injuries take time to heal, and getting caught in the open can be fatal. Watch the weather and light: fog or darkness can conceal you or a predator. Death ends your dinosaur’s growth.
