Jurassic Park fans, good news: There’s finally a new game set in the popular universe that isn’t a park builder.
Tonight, at the 2023 Game Awards, we got our first trailer at Jurassic Park: Survival, an upcoming first-person action game featuring a new character who appears to be captured on the original island from the first film. And he was stranded on the island when all the dinosaurs ran away. Whoa!
Let me be clear: I love the Jurassic Park building a theme park. I’ve spent too many hours there, even Acts of Genesis. But I’ve been wanting a big, AAA first-person game set in this universe. And now, it seems, I finally got what I wanted.
In the trailer, it shows a small part of the game in the middle, a young woman running around with fear (understandably) on the original Isla Nublar, escaping from famous dinos like the big T-Rex. Is the trailer a bit servivce-y, featuring famous locations and moments from the first film? Sure. But I’m too happy to worry.
The funny thing is, Jurassic Park: Survival shares its name with an unreleased action game from Konami which will take place on a secret third island and would have been tied together with the newly released. Jurassic Park III. The game was canned in July 2001. I suspect this new game has something to do with that canceled title, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the title was chosen to refer directly to that PS2-era unreleased title. Jurassic Park game as many people still talk to this day.
Jurassic Park: Survival no release date. It will be released, eventually, on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
