Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunt

***Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunt*** is a fantasy first person shooter and hunting simulator developed by Digital Dreams Entertainment and Tatem Games. Essentially a console port of *Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunter Reborn*, which is in itself a PC port of *Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunter HD*, the game was announced on May 17, 2021, and was released on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One on June 1, 2021 for $14.99. A PC version was released on Steam on August 22, 2022 with owners of *Reborn* getting the game for free. The first beta for Steam was released on February 21, 2022. The game was made on the Unity game engine.

## Differences from *HD*/*Reborn*

* Unlike the previous games, the game is being developed on Unity.
* The tranquilizer is no longer an equipment option. Instead, it is a gameplay option called non-lethal along with lethal and observer mode.
* The achievements in *Dinosaur Hunt* are different from the ones in *HD* and *Reborn*.
* The *Ceratosaurus* has a different kill animation from the one in *Reborn* and all carnivores have new charge animations.
* The mutants from *Reborn* have been removed.
* *Dinosaur Hunt* allows hunters to set the spawn rate and density of dinosaurs on an island. When a player unlocks a level with new spawns, they can now use those dinosaurs in the previous level as long as they have the gems to afford them or have the pro license enabled.
* DLC has been released for *Dinosaur Hunt*. The content for the first DLC was *Carnotaurus* and *Giganotosaurus*, both of which were not featured in *HD* or *Reborn*.Their licenses cost no gems when selected and can even be used right after beating the tutorial.
