Dino Hunters — developer, release, and current update

What Dino Hunters is

Dino Hunters is a Roblox dinosaur simulator by Fishgig Game. The official Roblox place ID is 119031147890918 and the universe ID is 10272975313. The live title is indexed as Dino Hunters[Raptor Nest] after the 2026-07-24 Raptor Update — no numeric version is published.

The core loop is hunt → defeat → capture → equip → upgrade → evolve → unlock harder content → repeat. Players spawn into prehistoric biomes, weaken wild dinosaurs with ranged weapons, fire capsules to capture them, equip the survivors as combat companions, then grind them through the rank ladder to chase rarer spawns and tougher bosses.

Universe metrics

Genre and classification

Dino Hunters sits in the simulator primary genre with RPG, combat, creature collection, and adventure secondaries. It is not a dinosaurs-survival experience — combat is ranged, capture replaces taming, and progression is gated by evolution and the multi-resource Ultra Rank vector rather than by hardcore survival mechanics.

What’s not in the build yet

The live build returns an empty data: [] array from the Roblox badges API for universe ID 10272975313. Progression is therefore gated by HUD stats (Hunter Level, captures, ranks, evolution tier) rather than badge rewards. Treat any third-party “Dino Hunters badge” content as not in-game until Roblox publishes one.
