“In 2043, Rose Squad of Eclipse Special Operations discovered a species beyond the southern regions of the Ventogon System, after escaping imprisonment and warning Special Operations Command, they must now prevent this new enemy from discovering the outside galaxy.”
―Official description

Call of Duty: Extinction is an FPS action video game developed by Nakamura Interactive, and published by Morningwood Arts for the Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and the Steam client. The game runs on the Semblance engine. Maps starring Rose Squad were adapted as part of Rose Squad: First Korman Conflict, a novel written by Eclipse Universe creator Jesse Loon, included with the Complete and Rose Squad Editions of the game.

It is a spin-off installment (fifth overall) in the Eclipse Warfare series that does not connect or have a direct relation to the Eclipse Warfare games and the first of the Rose Squad Trilogy. Set in 2043, the game focuses on an Eclipse Special Operations Titan-SS squad led by Commander Ruby Rose.

With the release of Extinction Season One, a third storyline was introduced that takes place in 2349, the era of the New Eclipse Empire.

In 2026, a sequel titled Call of Duty: Age of Extinction, which is set in an alternate timeline, was released with improvements based upon the original. The setting was introduced in Age of Extinction: The Prelude, released two weeks before its release. Also included as part of the Call of Duty: Age of Extinction Complete Edition was Call of Duty: Extinction - Definitive Edition which included all of its DLC as well as an updated version of the Semblance engine, featuring native 4K support as well as much better framerate stability.

Extinction[]

The Extinction mode will follow Rose Squad, a fireteam of Eclipse Special Operations in 2043 who were the first to discover the Korma system. They are led by Commander Ruby Rose, and supervised by General Christina Foley.

While on the Beacon, Rose Squad discovers the planet Arkona, a Korman colony world to which they are discovered, attacked, and captured. They later escape and fight their way out of the prison base. Episode 3 introduces the 241st Company as playable characters, which include about eight characters for players to choose from. The Galazar Threat also introduces four new characters, bringing the total number of playable characters to twelve in Call of Duty: Extinction.

Unlike traditional Extinction mode, players will be able to equip a loadout like Multiplayer's Create-A-Class system, however "Discovery" is excluded from this as players are captured and stripped of their weapons. What's different is that players can only choose one primary Specialized Weapon Variant, choose their Class, as well as choosing one Team Support, one Strike Package, and an Equalizer.

An (ES1), (ES2), (ES3), (S4:R) indicates an Extinction Season One, Extinction Season Two, Extinction Season Three, and Season Four: Retribution map.

Bonus Maps[]

Without a Campaign mode, Nakamura Interactive had added in Neversoft's Extinction maps into the game as an added bonus. Nakamura Interactive also remastered the five Extinction maps from Call of Duty: Eclipse Warfare, excluding the "Siege of Remnant" as it was a crossover map between Extinction and Zombies.

Bonus Modes[]

Returning in the Chaos Mode Update, a reintroduced and improved Chaos Mode was added to the game, but is only available on a select few maps.

With the release of Extinction Season Two, the new mode Grimm Survival was added to the game and was playable on all maps with no boundaries, meaning players could explore the map.

Armoury[]

The Armoury is an in-game Armoury run by Mr. Tachibana, an individual who acts as the quartermaster for Rose Squad. The Armoury allows players to customize the members of Rose Squad with outfits and skins, however unlike the customization in Call of Duty: Awakening of the Hive, players can only equip outfits and skins for the characters. Outfits are categorized into four, each to the four members of Rose Squad, however some Outfits are universal and can be equipped onto all four members. Skins can be equipped onto all four members. Only a select few Specialized Weapon Variants are reintroduced into Call of Duty: Extinction.

With the introduction of the 241st Company and the w:c:eclipse-universe:180th Alpha Group from The Galazar Threat, only Universal outfits and skins can be equipped onto these characters.

Every item in the Armoury has a rarity level and are distributed through Packages, a lootbox system used for Armoury items.

Downloadable content[]

Confirmed by Nakamura Interactive, the game will feature expansions, adding in more Extinction maps. The Eclipse Warfare II Legacy DLC was announced during Morningwood Arts' E3 press conference.

Before Morningwood Arts closed off their E3 press conference, CEO and design director Anakin Nakamura said that Episodes 3, 6, and 9 will focus on a different group of characters, hoping it would expand the story a little more as Neversoft's Extinction maps "Nightfall", "Mayday", "Awakening", and "Exodus" all focused on one group rather than the group in "Point of Contact".

Anakin Nakamura finished by saying the game will also regularly receive content updates which will add mainly outfits, skins and Specialized Weapon Variants.

Expansion Pass[]

The Expansion Pass would include all Expansions content at no extra cost, and is available for $29.99. It is also included in the Complete Edition of the game. Before the Chaos Mode Update was released, the Expansion Pass gave owners exclusive access to the Grimm Slayer Specialized Weapon Variant.

Content included with the Expansion Pass:

However, this Expansion Pass does not include Season Four: Retribution.

Packages[]

Reintroduced from Call of Duty: Awakening of the Hive, Packages are a lootbox system used for the game's Armoury. It has been confirmed that more content for the Armoury would be added as time goes on. With most lootbox systems in video games nowadays, Morningwood Arts have revealed the chances of receiving an item from that rarity.

  • Common — 95% chance
  • Uncommon — 80% chance
  • Rare — 60% chance
  • Epic — 30% chance
  • Legendary — 20% chance

  • Mentioned several times by Rose Squad, the Beacon Dance is an annual event held by Rose Squad on the Beacon on March 21st, the founding year of the Eclipse Empire.
