Breaking Dimensions and Polygon Dust have joined forces to create an immersive first-person dinosaur horror experience titled Rip Current, scheduled for release on PC via Steam on September 23. This action-adventure game brings prehistoric predators to life in a chilling narrative that promises to keep players on the edge of their seats.

Drawing inspiration from classic FPS dinosaur action games like Turok that masterfully blend horror elements with intense gameplay, Rip Current introduces a storyline evocative of the Jurassic Park franchise. However, it adds a unique twist by submerging players into an underwater nightmare, deepening the horror experience.

In Rip Current, players assume the role of Carter, a special operations contractor sent to investigate the sudden silence from Post Salvos, an underwater research facility. As Carter explores the vast, submerged complex, he quickly realizes that catastrophic experiments have gone awry, flooding the labs and corridors with water and unleashing engineered predators. Among these creatures is the ferocious and relentless Spinosaurus, posing a constant threat as players navigate the dark, watery environment to uncover the truth behind the facility's destruction.

The game combines intense gunplay with exploration, challenging players to defend themselves while scavenging for clues about the events at Post Salvos. With limited supplies, every bullet counts, forcing strategic decisions on when to engage in combat or flee and hide from the vicious dinosaurs. Players will also need to swim through infested waters, discovering scientific logs, research files, and the eerie remnants of the station's staff, all contributing to an atmospheric single-player survival horror experience. Rip Current is set to launch exclusively on Steam on September 23 and is now available for wishlisting.

There has been a resurgence of interest in dinosaur horror video games, with titles like Code Violet and now Rip Current aiming to captivate audiences seeking a scarier, Turok-inspired adventure. Whether these games will honor the legacy of their predecessors remains to be seen, but players will soon have the opportunity to discover the horrors lurking in the depths of Rip Current for themselves.
