Meltdown Part 2, the second part of Primal Carnage's annual summer event, is now live for PCE on PC and Primal Carnage: Evolution on PlayStation. It brings a fresh selection of skins, mutations, and more. See the full event lineup, both live and upcoming, on the event Trello board.

The PCE Open Testing Beta currently includes playable versions of the Brachiosaurus, Compy, Iguanodon, Parasaurolophus, and Stegosaurus. Each is in a different stage of completion, with stat tweaks already applied from tester feedback and more changes expected through August. If development stays on track, they're slated to join the main game at the end of August.

The new Dual Repeaters weapon for Trapper is also being tested and is expected to be available as of Meltdown Part 3. For now, it's only accessible via dev console commands: open the console with the grave accent key or the @ key, enable cheats, and enter GiveMeWeapon DualLevers (no quotes). The weapon is still work-in-progress and is expected to be added to the loadout menu soon.

Patch 3.3.5 is live on Steam, adding DinoCon 2026 collaboration skins and a 66%-off game sale. Free code DINOCON-2026 unlocks the skins on PC (patch 3.3.5) and PlayStation (version 1.57) – no expiry, one per account. The sale discounts the game 66%, all DLCs 50%, and VR title Primal Carnage: Onslaught 90% until noon UK time July 27. Separately, the patch adds a Railyard map stamp to support the community creator, granting the Conductor's Cap reward.

Players owning Extinction can access the PCE Open Testing Beta app. Over the next weeks, major features will deploy: five new playables for Sandbox mode (formerly Freeroam) – Iguanodon, Stegosaurus, Parasaurolophus, Compsognathus, Brachiosaurus – arriving within days. Also in OT: dino drinking for stamina, Announcer system, Skillshot bonuses, HUD/menu updates.
