Developer Games Box S.A. has announced Primitive, a new Unreal Engine 5-powered first-person survival game set in a hostile open-world Stone Age. It’s in development for PC, though no release date has been set.
“The project is still at its early development stage. Thinking of similar games, Primitive is close to such titles as Far Cry Primal, yet our concept focuses more strongly on showing the primal character of a real world from many thousands of years ago, where it all boiled down to raw power, as well as a fight for dominance and survival,” says Tomasz Supeł, CEO of Games Box S.A.
A third-person view will be available in addition to first-person, while you’ll face off against not just the elements, but also rival Neanderthal tribes, Sabretooth Tigers, and Wooly Mammoths. You’ll also need to build your shelter, while dynamically changing weather will also throw a wrench into your best-laid plans for survival.
If you’re interested, you can wishlist Primitive on Steam.
