No not that one, but the alternative D-Day – Dino D-Day. I always thought the Afrika Korps fielded Panzers, 88mm Artillery and PAK Anti-tank guns. I hadn’t realized that they had dinosaurs, too! So much for my history lessons at school. The game is an online FPS shooter to be released via Steam with the idea that the Germans have managed to bring back the extinct reptiles to add to their arsenal. Players have the option of choosing to play as the Allied forces (Six classes) or play as the German army and its dinosaur allies (three human classes and three dinosaur classes).
Dino D-Day launches on Steam April 8.
