We're in that time in the industry yet again where studios around the world are clamoring to be the ones that take the extraction genre mainstream. It started with Escape from Tarkov, then the Cycle, Marauders, and now Dark & Darker.

When something like this happens there is a lot we can learn as designers on how different studios iterate and innovate in their games and today we're going to look at how Dark & Darker is so far winning that race and why I am excited about it.
