About Prior Extinction - Dinosaur Survival

What the game is about and where to play it

Prior Extinction is a realistic dinosaur survival game by Jacys Studios ROBLOX where players control prehistoric animals and fight for dominance across a large open-world map populated by creatures from multiple geological eras. With 77 million visits and 1,000-2,000 concurrent players, it is one of the most active dinosaur simulation games on Roblox. The game has been in public Alpha since April 2021, meaning new species, mechanics, and seasonal events continue arriving regularly.

Each session begins by selecting a dinosaur and choosing how to play it:

  • βš”οΈ Carnivores hunt other players and prey animals while managing hunger and thirst
  • πŸ—ΊοΈ Herbivores forage across a large open-world prehistoric landscape for safety and food
  • 🎭 Roleplay mode runs on community social norms; Survival mode is full competitive combat
  • πŸ’Ž Fossils unlock exclusive species and rare egg variants including Melanistic and Leucistic colorways
  • πŸ’° Amber is the primary currency earned through gameplay and seasonal events for skins and cosmetics
  • ⏳ Seasonal events for Easter, Valentine's Day, and New Year each bring exclusive content and limited-time rewards

Two currencies drive progression - Amber for skins and cosmetics, Fossils for exclusive species and egg unlocks. The five egg types (Melanistic, Leucistic, Garden, Retro, and Easter) hatch unique dinosaur color variants and are the most sought-after rewards in the game. Seasonal events have awarded up to 100,000 Amber and 5,000 Fossils in a single drop, making event participation one of the fastest ways to accelerate unlocks.

For a similar dinosaur survival experience, Primeval Earth offers island-based prehistoric survival with its own species roster and pack mechanics.
