• Conventional Firearms: Varies (Revolvers, Rifles)
  A diverse arsenal of firearms scavenged from the Manifesto corporation, which can be customized with found parts like scopes and suppressors.
• Crafted Explosives: Throwable
  A variety of crafted devices, including traps and explosives, used to gain a tactical advantage against both human and dinosaur threats.

• Improvised Melee Weapons: One-Handed, Two-Handed
  The series' signature craftable weapons, built from scrap. This expansion would introduce new blueprints using local flora and fauna, like a 'Spore-Infused Axe' or 'Bioluminescent Mace'.
• Bows and Crossbows: Ranged Weapons
  Silent ranged options for stealth takedowns. A new heavy crossbow could be introduced, capable of firing grappling lines to create new traversal paths.
• Infected Weapons (Speculative): Supernatural Ability
  As Aiden embraces his infection, he could unlock the ability to temporarily manifest bio-weapons, like hardened bone claws for melee or a projectile acid spit, tied to his new skill tree.

• Faction Gear: Players would be able to acquire gear sets from the new factions in the Elysium district. Each set would provide bonuses tailored to a specific playstyle (e.g., 'Hunter' gear for stealth, 'Brawler' gear for melee, 'Survivor' gear for parkour efficiency).

• Cosmetic Outfits: A variety of cosmetic outfits would be available, allowing players to change Aiden's appearance. These would include outfits from the new factions, tactical gear, and potentially even a skin that shows his progressing infection.

Progression is tied to survival and crafting. Players scavenge resources to upgrade weapons with custom parts like suppressors and scopes, and craft a variety of traps and gadgets. There are no traditional skill trees; instead, progression is based on acquiring better gear and unlocking new tools that open up new areas and tactical options.

The game features large, interconnected zones with a 'Metroidvania' design philosophy rather than a single seamless open world. The island is comprised of diverse biomes, including lush jungles, sprawling beaches, treacherous cliffs, deep swamps, and ancient ruins.

• San: Playable Protagonist
  A refugee stranded on a lost island, fighting to survive and rescue his brother from a shadowy corporation.
• Maung: Key NPC
  San's brother, who is abducted at the beginning of the game and serves as the central motivation for the plot.
• Mysterious Radio Woman: Guide / Ally
  An unseen character who communicates with San via radio, providing guidance, intel, and occasional tactical support.

• Main Story Campaign
  A linear but sprawling story-driven campaign that follows San's quest to rescue his brother Maung from the Manifesto corporation while uncovering the island's secrets.
• Side Objectives
  Optional tasks like rescuing other surviving castaways, finding lost relics, or hunting down legendary predators for unique rewards.

• Main Story Quests
  A cinematic campaign that would follow Aiden's hunt for 'The Beast' and his struggle to control his own infection while navigating the politics of the new survivor factions in the Elysium district.

• Q: What is Ferocious?
  A: Ferocious is a single-player first-person shooter that combines intense action with survival-horror elements, set on a mysterious island inhabited by dinosaurs and a hostile corporation.
• Q: Is Ferocious an open-world game?
  A: It features large, interconnected zones with a 'Metroidvania'-style design, encouraging exploration and backtracking, but it is not a fully seamless open world.
• Q: Can you control the dinosaurs?
  A: Yes, a key feature is the ability to use discovered technology to briefly control or manipulate certain dinosaurs, allowing you to use them as weapons or distractions.
• Q: When will it be released?
  A: There is currently no official release date for Ferocious. A playable demo has been available on Steam since June 2025.

• Q: Is Dying Light: The Beast a real game?
  A: No, as of August 2025, 'Dying Light: The Beast' is not an officially announced game or DLC from developer Techland. This entry is a fictional concept of what a future installment might be.
• Q: Would this be a sequel to Dying Light 2?
  A: This concept is designed as a standalone expansion, meaning it would be a new story that takes place after Dying Light 2 but would not require the base game to play. It would be similar to 'Far Cry: New Dawn' or 'Uncharted: The Lost Legacy'.
• Q: What is the 'Infected Hive Mind'?
  A: In this concept, it's a new gameplay system where a powerful Alpha Volatile, 'The Beast,' directs lesser infected with greater intelligence, allowing them to coordinate their attacks, set up ambushes, and react strategically to the player.

• OFFICIAL AND EXTRAPOLATED SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS for FEROCIOUS. This information is based on the official PC specifications from developer OMYOG, adapted to the requested JSON structure. As a survival FPS built on the Unity Engine, the requirements are moderate but have increased during development. Laptop and future-generation GPU listings are extrapolated based on performance benchmarks.
• Laptop Performance Note: Laptop versions of the listed desktop GPUs require comparable performance. For a fast-paced FPS like FEROCIOUS, maintaining a high and stable framerate is key, making a laptop with a strong CPU and a well-cooled, high-TGP GPU very important.
• Laptop Consideration: G P U T G P: A high TGP is essential to ensure the GPU can consistently deliver high framerates without throttling during intense firefights with dinosaurs and mercenaries.
• Laptop Consideration: Cooling Thermals: The game's action-packed sequences can put a sustained load on components. A good cooling system is necessary to prevent thermal throttling and ensure consistent performance, which is critical for survival.
• Laptop Consideration: C P U Power Limits: Strong single-core CPU performance is important for processing player inputs and AI with minimal delay. Adequate power delivery to the CPU is key.
• Laptop Consideration: M U X Switch Optimus: A MUX switch or NVIDIA Advanced Optimus is highly recommended to minimize system latency, providing a tangible advantage in a fast-paced shooter where reaction time is critical.
• Optimization Detail: Upscaling Tech: The game does not have official integrated support for upscaling technologies like NVIDIA DLSS or AMD FSR. Performance is based on native resolution rendering. Players must rely on driver-level solutions or third-party tools if they wish to use these features.
• Optimization Detail: Key Settings Impact: Performance is most affected by settings like Shadow Quality, Texture Quality, and Anti-Aliasing. Given the dense jungle environments, foliage and view distance settings will also be demanding.
• Game Name: Ferocious

• ENTIRELY SPECULATIVE SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS. These are hypothetical projections based on the requirements for Dying Light 2: Stay Human, with a slight increase to account for potential engine upgrades and more complex AI systems.
• Laptop Performance Note: A future title like this would demand a high-performance gaming laptop. Actual performance would vary significantly based on the final game's optimization and the laptop's specific hardware configuration.
• Laptop Consideration: G P U T G P Impact: Maximum TGP for the laptop's GPU would be essential to handle advanced graphical features, ray tracing, and dense, overgrown environments.
• Laptop Consideration: Advanced Cooling Thermals: The game's fast-paced parkour and intense combat against organized hordes would require excellent cooling to prevent thermal throttling.
• Laptop Consideration: C P U Performance Sustain: A powerful multi-core mobile CPU would be critical for handling the advanced 'hive mind' AI of the infected, as well as complex physics interactions.
• Laptop Consideration: R A M Configuration Speed: 16GB would be the minimum, with 32GB recommended for a smooth experience in a dense, seamless new world.
• Laptop Consideration: Display Panel G P U Pairing: A high-refresh-rate display (120Hz+) would be ideal to fully appreciate the fluidity of the enhanced parkour and combat systems.
• Laptop Consideration: M U X Switch N V I D I A Advanced Optimus: This would remain a critical feature for reducing latency and ensuring the best possible performance and responsiveness for fast-paced first-person action.
• Laptop Consideration: Driver Updates O S Optimization: Regular driver updates and an optimized OS would be crucial.
