Ever since the Jurassic World movies revived the Jurassic Park franchise, the widespread fascination with dinosaurs and stories surrounding them has reignited across new and old generations. One of the markets to make use of this resurgence is video games, with the third game in the Jurassic World Evolution series releasing today. Developed and published by Frontier Developments, Jurassic World Evolution 3 will give gamers a chance to run Jurassic World, including the many dangers that fans of the parks are all too familiar with.
As a piece of the Jurassic World franchise, the game will focus on the unique park and its key attraction, dinosaurs. Players will be able to manage over 85 extinct species, looking after their social and dietary needs and exploring their behaviors. Players will also have a chance to build up the island itself by customizing its various facilities. There will also be the option to set up unique attractions that can range from the Balloon Tour to the Cretaceous Cruise. All of this is in service of making the park as fun and interactable as possible for the guests, each of which is capable of reacting to what has been built. The main game will also be complimented by a campaign that involves the struggles associated with dinosaur conservation.
Of course, the defining aspect of any Jurassic Park is that there will be problems with the massive and strange creatures it dares to raise. The game’s website promises that as the one in charge of running Jurassic World, the player will need to place safety measures to try to control the chaos and manage the destruction when dinosaurs do escape. The dinosaurs, while dangerous, also boast recent research supporting their behaviors, causing them to behave more closely to what scientists expect than previous games.
The weeks leading up to the game’s release have led to much excitement from gamers. Today, the game has launched on Xbox, PlayStation, and Steam.
