Evaluation

King of Bones launched on November 10, 2025 and received a substantial wave of post-launch content updates, adding new arenas, game modes, species, and gameplay systems throughout mid-to-late 2025. However, the developer has explicitly closed out both of the game's main content tracks. On October 2, 2025, they confirmed that the Darkside arena was "the final arena added, bringing the total to 8." Then on November 6, 2025 — just before the official release date — they announced the Mammoth and Carcharodontosaurus as the last two species, explicitly stating: "These last two species bring the roster to 30 unique species and that will be the final lineup for the game." With both the arena roster and species roster officially declared complete, the game's content development has concluded. No further content has been announced, and no unreleased DLC exists on the store.

About this game

Tear into an action packed dinosaur arena brawler where you engage in non-stop life or death fights that will push your abilities to their limits. King of Bones delivers physics-driven skill-based combat that carries the full weight and impact of prehistoric creatures. Dash, dodge, stomp, headbutt, and smash your way through multiple game modes and over two dozen unique species as you battle to become king of the Jurassic world.

PHYSICS DRIVEN COMBAT

Vicious raptors will pounce and cling to your body. A charging triceratops can send you flying. Every part of the fighting system was designed to replicate the look and feel of these deadly titans clashing. Fights will be fast-paced and messy, enemies will struggle till the very end.

MULTIPLE GAME MODES

  • Arcade

  • King of the Hill

  • Onslaught

  • Ascension

  • Spectator

Survive free-for-all deathmatches in King of the Hill. Hatch from an egg and fight every dinosaur in the game while growing into a towering giant in Ascension. Fight non stop waves with ever increasing numbers in Onslaught. Or setup custom fights and sit back and watch the action in the Spectator mode.

MASSIVE SPECIES ROSTER

With 30 unique species to play as the arena will challenge you in different ways as each species has their own fighting style. Get crushed by an Ankylosaur's tail swings. Send dinosaurs flying with the Pachycephalosaur's headbutt. Every dinosaur is dangerous in its own way.

EIGHT UNIQUE ARENAS

Battle it out in gorgeous expansive arenas representing a broad range of biomes. Beware of various dangers and difficulties with some arenas having unique environmental hazards that modify gameplay. 

REALTIME PHYSICALLY SIMULATED BODIES

Using the latest Unreal Engine tools the dinosaurs' physical bodies are constantly simulated in the world which means every bite, headbutt, and stomp interact properly with each other.

WEAPONS AND ENVIRONMENTAL DANGERS

Grab a nearby log or bone to wield against your foe. Get blasted through the air by a high powered geyser hidden beneath the foggy waters. Or use your last kill's tail to bash your next kill. King of Bones will let you engage in all sorts of crazy carnage you've only ever imagined.

SPECTATOR AND PHOTOGRAPHY MODE

Dishing out the damage not really your thing? Setup teams with dinosaurs of your choosing and watch AI battle it out while you spectate the action. Take photos, control the speed of time, and get a front row seat on the carnage.

INCREDIBLE ATTENTION TO DETAIL

Subtle breathing of your dinosaur, dynamic stances, real-time body controls, detailed animations and so much more breathe unbelievable life into the dinosaurs. Leaves move beneath your feet and blow to the wind with a mighty roar. The small details are what makes this an experience like no other.

GORE AND DISMEMBERMENT

Rip the flesh of your prey to shreds and consume every last bit of them. Fully dismemberable and simulated bodies mean you can make the most of your meal. The scars and wounds of battle and each bite taken out of you will all be readily visible.

King of Bones is a bold attempt at pushing forward the combat mechanics in the dinosaur simulation genre. Expect non-stop high impact straight up fights for your life. In this prehistoric world... death finds a way.
