Jurassic Park Survival release date estimate and latest news
What is the Jurassic Park Survival release date? This is the latest game taking on the Jurassic Park series, first announced at The Game Awards 2023. Jurassic Park Survival is an action-adventure game, leaning away from the previous Jurassic World Evolution sim management games, and it looks like instead of saving and protecting dinosaurs, we’ll be trying to survive them.
The upcoming action-adventure game takes inspiration from Capcom’s Dino Crisis to create an intense survival experience where anything can and probably will try to kill you. Jurassic Park Survival takes place immediately after the events of the original Jurassic Park story. As Dr. Maya Joshi, an InGen scientist who could not evacuate Isla Nublar when the dinosaurs broke out of their enclosures, it’s up to you to find your way out of the park and evacuate from the island. Plenty will wonder if the dinosaur game will meet our wild collective expectations for a game like this.
Jurassic Park Survival release date estimate
Jurassic Park Survival was announced by Saber Interactive and will be available on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S. We don’t have a confirmed release date yet, but given the lack of news at major gaming events including Summer Game Fest and Gamescom, it’s likely going to arrive in 2025 at the earliest.
We know that Jurassic Park Survival will be an intense experience requiring stealth and survival skills and first-person action. Not only that, but we’ll be able to interact with the island by utilizing its resources and evading and interacting with the wildlife and, of course, the dinosaurs that inhabit it.
Survival looks like a mix of stealth and action to evade or tackle the many dinosaurs we will surely encounter. From gameplay footage in the below trailer, the game looks quite cinematic and has been described as narrative-driven for fans of the Jurassic Park franchise. Dr. Maya Joshi can be seen leaping onto what looks like a boat and defending herself from a velociraptor. In another attack by a t-rex, she slams a gate in its face to avoid getting eaten.
Jurassic Park Survival trailer
Alongside the announcement, Saber Interactive released an announcement trailer where we can see the game in action. We’re quickly thrust into the now-damaged original Jurassic Park in the fictional Isla Nublar the day after the facility was evacuated. In it, we can see scattered dinosaur bones and a crumbling staircase.
We take on the role of Dr. Maya Joshi, an InGen scientist whom we first see making a frantic call over the radio for help. She darts, injured, through the facility and into the kitchen, tailed by a velociraptor, which mimics one of the most memorable Jurassic Park movie scenes.
As she throws her flashlight and makes a run for it, heading into the thick jungle, we can hear the screech of the Dilophosaurus as it spits its venom at her. She finally escapes and collapses by the iconic Jurassic Park gates, only to hold up a flare to a T-Rex. We’re certain that other dinos will appear in the final game, so watch this space when more is revealed.
Jurassic Park Survival news
While details have been scarce since the announcement, some small details about the game have now appeared via an IGN interview. According to Universal Products & Experiences executive producer John Melchior and Saber Interactive creative director Oliver Hollis-Leick, we will be venturing back to settings from the 1993 cinematic classic, adding some brand new settings only ever implied to exist in the film.
Melchior explains, “This includes areas we all love like the Visitor’s Center and the T-Rex paddock. But also, what we didn’t see, things that were not part of the tour or got cut off by the storm. Those on the island were supposed to be there overnight, so what does that mean? What would they have seen and where would they have stayed if everything went according to plan? That is where we are starting. One thing is certain – the island is as much a part of the story as the characters and dinosaurs.”
That’s everything we have for the Jurassic Park Survival release date estimate and the latest news. In the meantime, here are all the upcoming games for this year and the next, as well as the best stealth games on PC.
