Earlier this yr, we realized a brand new Jurassic World recreation was in lively improvement at Frontier. Whereas the press launch did not 100% verify the challenge is Evolution 3, it was the most definitely risk. Now, new particulars on the corporate’s portfolio technique for the following yr and past have illuminated the matter a bit extra.
Through consumer HeavyGold8 at r/jurassicworldevo, we have acquired additional affirmation the earlier two Jurassic World Evolution video games have been big for each Frontier and Common, the latter of which owns the IP and is making ready to launch a brand new Jurassic World film subsequent yr, regardless of the very fact it is nonetheless taking pictures. Furthermore, it seems the corporate’s subsequent recreation based mostly on the IP will arrive between June 2025 and Could 2026 (throughout FY 2026).
The second slide shared by the consumer options a picture from Jurassic World Evolution 2 as a placeholder, and given latest chatter straight from the corporate about doubling down on simulation and administration video games over experiments throughout different genres, this very a lot appears like the very best trace we are able to hope for at a launch window outdoors of an precise official announcement.
Frontier additionally underlined that this recreation, very similar to the 2 earlier Evolution titles, is supposed to be a really shut collaboration with Common as a brand new Jurassic World film is launched. Whereas the possible window it shared is fairly broad, it made certain to obviously level out Jurassic World: Rebirth is coming in early July 2025. Chances are high that, if improvement is flowing because it ought to, the sport may drop in summer time 2025 across the film’s theatrical launch, very similar to the primary Evolution in 2018. For reference, Evolution 2 launched in late 2021, months earlier than Jurassic World: Dominion opened, however let’s not neglect that film was initially meant to launch in summer time 2021 earlier than getting hit by a Covid-related delay.
The brand new film, directed by Godzilla and Rogue One: A Star Wars Story’s Gareth Edwards, comes from a script written in secret by Jurassic Park’s David Koepp, and seemingly goals to carry the franchise again to its easier roots with out strolling again the world-shaking developments of the latest Jurassic World trilogy. Given every little thing that Frontier has achieved with Jurassic World Evolution 2 and its many DLCs, it’s going to be fascinating to see how the components may be refreshed and improved upon. Up subsequent from the studio, Planet Coaster 2 arrives later this yr.
This new Jurrasic World recreation from Frontier is not the one main Jurassic challenge at present in improvement. After the huge success of Warhammer 40K: House Marine 2, Saber Interactive goes again to Jurassic Park with a single-player journey which may very well be the survival horror tackle the franchise we might all the time dreamed of. Jurassic Park: Survival would not have a launch window but, however I would wager Common additionally desires it dropping near Rebirth.
