Craving a new dinosaur-filled shooter after years of neglect from the Dino Crisis series? Well, Xbox and indie studio DangerousBob think they might have the solution.

As detailed in a new Xbox Wire post, Fossilfuel 2 has just hit Xbox Series X and S consoles after its recent PC release, and it sounds pretty promising for a smaller title. The team describes this one as 'dinosaur survival horror', and it features a main campaign, horde mode, a sandbox mode and more.

The indie title has been out for a few days now and the early fan reception seems pretty positive - it could be worth checking out if you want some dino-FPS action! Here are some of the game's core features, straight from the team:

  • First-Person Survival Horror: Step into Jack’s shoes and sneak around maze-like corridors, hide in vents, and lay traps, as raptors hunt you down.
  • Non-Linear Layout: Explore the flooded base, revisit areas, upgrade weapons, and create safe zones by draining water unlocking the game’s multiple endings.
  • Glorious Gory Detail: Blast dinos apart, earning the game that M rating, with an arsenal of deadly weapons, from shotguns and magnums to flamethrowers that dynamically light up enemies.
  • Scuba Gear Required: Dive into flooded hallways and rooms, battling monsters of the deep, as aquatic dinos prove to be just as threatening as their land-based relatives.
  • War Photographer: Use a digital camera to snap pictures of dinosaurs. Photo points can be traded to get upgrades and weapons adding an RPG element to the game.


Fossilfuel 2 will set you back $19.99 / £16.74 on Xbox Series X|S. Let us know if you might dive in and try this one out!
