What to Expect at Ferocious Launch
Ferocious drops you onto a hostile island filled with apex predators, unpredictable terrain, and armed human factions. The survival loop mixes exploration, resource gathering, and high-intensity FPS combat.
Here are the key gameplay elements confirmed so far:
A Living, Dangerous Island
The island behaves like a dynamic ecosystem—ancient ruins, shifting wildlife patterns, and evolving threats shape every encounter.
Combat With Dinosaurs, Humans, and Mechas
You’ll face mercenary squads, dangerous wildlife, and mechanical enemies in fast-paced firefights. Weapon choice and environment awareness heavily influence your survival odds.
Crafting and Gear Upgrades
Resources scattered across the island let you craft weapons and survival gear. This becomes essential as the difficulty spikes deeper into the island.
Dinosaur Control Device
One of the game’s standout mechanics: you can command dinosaurs to attack enemies, clear paths, or assist in stealth infiltration. This adds a strategic layer to combat and exploration.
Story Setup
You play as San, stranded after a monster capsizes the refugee boat carrying him and his brother. With Maung captured by an exploitative corporation, your mission becomes a blend of rescue and survival against an ancient ecosystem and hostile factions.
