A Brief Look At 'Extinction' From Iron Galaxy Studios And Maximum Games During E3

Leading up to E3, a number of games were kept in the shadows. Extinction was one of those titles that we didn't get a proper notice about, other than it was a mystery title that we had to come through the doors to see. We got to see the demo of Extinction, which included slaughtering demons, saving townsfolk and killing the biggest giant ogres around who terrorize a village.

We weren't able to play anything hands-on — it was basically a demo where we were shown the mechanics and all the finer odds and ends of fighting against the beasts of the land. I'd like to get my hands on a demo soon, but for now, we're just checking out the video below and waiting for it to be released in the first quarter of 2018.

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.
