TeamKill Media has officially announced the release date for their highly anticipated survival horror game, Code Violet, which will launch on November 14, 2025. This game, exclusive to PlayStation 5, captures the essence of the 1999 classic Dino Crisis while introducing a new narrative filled with third-person action and dinosaur-infused horror set against a dystopian sci-fi backdrop. Code Violet aims to satisfy long-time fans who have been yearning for a revival of the Dino Crisis franchise. While Capcom did release a PC port of the original game in January 2025, TeamKill Media is stepping up to provide players with a fresh experience, featuring monstrous creatures from pre-history.
The game will allow players to revisit the exhilarating horror that characterized the original, now enhanced for modern consoles. Set in the 25th century, Code Violet unfolds after a catastrophic event renders Earth uninhabitable, forcing humanity’s survivors to flee to a new colony on the planet Trappist 1-E. Amidst a growing infertility crisis threatening human existence, the Aion colony resorts to using time-travel technology to kidnap women from the past to serve as surrogates. Players take on the role of Violet Sinclair, who wakes up in the Aion Bioengineering Complex filled with aggressive dinosaurs and other perilous threats. As she navigates this dangerous environment, Violet must discover the dark truths behind Aion and fight to survive.
Resource management plays a crucial role in the gameplay, with players needing to wisely select weapons, health items, and tools for puzzles. The game features modern third-person mechanics, combining melee and ranged combat while leveraging advanced visuals and audio to create an immersive experience. With the horror gaming genre experiencing a resurgence, it remains to be seen if Code Violet will achieve lasting recognition alongside Dino Crisis and other classics. Prepare for an adrenaline-fueled adventure as you enter the world of Code Violet, where survival and strategy are key to escaping this terrifying scenario.
