Coming exclusively toPlayStation 5consoles,Code Violetblends third-person action with dinosaur-fueled horror in a dystopian sci-fi conspiracy.
Audiences have been asking for a revival of theoriginalDino Crisisgamefrom Capcom for years, and while that launch received a port to PC in January 2025, TeamKill Media looks to be answering the call for a fully fresh title featuring terrifying creatures from pre-history. Similar to its spiritual predecessor,Code Violetwill be launching as a PlayStation exclusive, giving fans ofDino Crisisthe opportunity to relive the nostalgic horror with a new dinosaur experience.
Code Violetwill transport players to the 25th century after a cataclysmic event has wiped out life on Earth and left the once prosperous planet uninhabitable. In spite of efforts to flee the planet and establish a new cvivilization elsewhere, humans become faced with their own extinction as infertility begins plaguing the Aion colony. They resort to developing a time-travel device, which is then used to kidnap women from the past and use them as surrogates to sustain the populations of the future. Players will take on the role of Violet Sinclair, a young woman who has awoken in the Aion Bioengineering Complex, and must face off against swarms of ferocious dinosaurs and hostile threats. Violet will need to uncover Aion’s dark secrets and fight for survival to escape in this chaotic take onold-school PlayStation survival horror games.
