If you’ve been dreaming of a game that mixes survival, hostile jungle mercenaries, and—one of the most awesome features—dinosaurs, then Ferocious should be on your radar (turn on your notifications, people)! TinyBuild Games just revealed new details, and even better, a playtest is now live for anyone who has always wondered what a survival sim with dinosaurs would work!

Ferocious is a first-person shooter that drops you into a jungle where you’re dodging bullets and dinosaur teeth in equal measure. If the idea of surviving on Jurassic Park-style with a gun in hand sounds fun, you’re not alone.
Players will have to navigate dense, dangerous environments, take on well-armed mercenaries, and avoid getting turned into lunch by apex predators. The twist? There’s more going on here than just action. The trailer hints at hidden secrets and lore buried beneath the surface.
Graphically, Ferocious looks insane! The dinosaurs, while grounded in realism, also show some creative liberties in their designs, adding personality and unpredictability. There’s a dinosaur with spikes that you would NOT expect to have them, but it looks fun to see what would happen when you attack it. It’s not just a survival shooter—it’s an atmospheric thrill ride through a world where everything wants you dead.
Firefights against mercenaries look tight and polished, featuring all the modern FPS tropes: base infiltrations, objective-driven skirmishes, and intense one-man-army standoffs. But when you throw in rampaging dinosaurs? The formula suddenly feels way less predictable—and way more exciting.
TinyBuild has launched an open playtest for Ferocious, giving players early access to the chaos. Want in? Head to the game’s Steam page, wishlist it, and sign up for the playtest. This might be the best way to get a taste of what’s coming before the full release lands.
