D-Extinction is an upcoming bodycam-style survival horror game developed and published by indie studio "Event Horizon Labs," and it is currently set for a July 2026 release on PC via Steam. The game places the players in the role of a rookie agent dispatched to investigate a classified secret research facility that has gone completely dark, with no communication, no explanation, and no survivors in sight.
Soon, the investigation rapidly changes into a desperate fight for survival when the agent discovers that the facility has been overrun by prehistoric predators, who are highly intelligent dinosaurs that were never meant to exist outside of a controlled laboratory environment. A trailer for the game surfaced on social media in April 2026. This trailer was also shared by @Pirat_Nation on Twitter.
The trailer itself is filmed entirely from the bodycam perspective, mimicking the grainy, low-light, fisheye-lens visual style popularized by the original Bodycam PC game released in 2024. The footage shows that the agent is navigating a shadowy corridor with only the camera's timestamp and status readout visible on-screen — the HUD reads "ROOKIE OFFICER S. Miles / STATUS: On Field," alongside a red "REC ON" indicator. A control room voice crackles in the audio: "[Control]: You're being re-directed to site DELTA-9."

Unlike games where players carry weapons and fight back directly, D-Extinction appears to be built around stealth, evasion, and environmental awareness. According to the game's official Steam description, your survival depends on one thing — not being seen. The predators are described as "highly intelligent" and completely unforgiving of mistakes. You are tasked with moving carefully, collecting evidence, and piecing together what happened inside, all while an apex predator stalks you through darkness.
Basic Info:
D-Extinction was developed by Event Horizon Labs, which is an independent studio that serves as both developer and publisher on this project. The game's Steam page went live in 2026 ahead of its confirmed July 2026 release window, with the studio inviting players to add it to their wishlist while the title remains in its pre-release phase.
As of the trailer release in April 2026, it is still an upcoming title. As an indie horror game, D-Extinction has been produced with the lean, focused vision typical of small independent studios rather than large AAA teams. Specific budget figures have not been disclosed publicly by Event Horizon Labs.
"A classified facility has gone silent. You're sent in to investigate. What you find inside was never meant to exist. This is a bodycam-style horror experience where you investigate what went wrong, and your survival depends on one thing — not being seen."

Targets for D-Extinction?
Based on the game's current trajectory, publicly available information, and industry patterns for titles of its type, the immediate goal for Event Horizon Labs ahead of the July 2026 release is clearly to build Steam wishlist numbers and cultivate a community around the game's horror-plus-dinosaur concept.
Following the success of the original Bodycam PC game in 2024 and titles like Dinosaurs Bodycam (published by GamePoc, available on Xbox Series X|S and PC), there is clearly growing developer interest in using the found-footage perspective as a horror delivery mechanism.
While D-Extinction is currently confirmed only for PC via Steam, industry trends strongly suggest that successful indie horror titles in 2026 typically pursue console ports to Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 after establishing themselves on PC. The bodycam horror sub-genre has already demonstrated multi-platform viability through comparable titles.
