Frontier Development's "Jurassic World Evolution" is already set to be released in June 2018, possibly coinciding with the release of "Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom," which will be in theaters on June 22 of the same year.
Gamers who loved 2003's "Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis" will surely love the developers' latest take on park management simulation, which is one of the genres Frontier is known for. The development company has also created games of similar platform such as the "Roller Coaster Tycoon" series.
In "Jurassic World Evolution," the player will handle the task of overseeing Jurassic Park's maintenance operations, such as making sure that all its facilities are in good condition, as well as taking care of the all the dinosaurs enclosed within the park.
The player will also have to manage the park's day to day operations, such as coming up with certain decisions that will affect the number of people who will visit the park. The player may also take control of the park's bioengineering department in order to create newer species of dinosaurs, as seen in the 2015 movie.
Newer species of dinosaurs will add to the park's attractions and can lure in more people, as seen in "Jurassic World." Whether the game will allow the creation of more unstable species such as the Indominus Rex is still unknown. The fact that the player is also tasked with managing the park's containment units still makes this a possibility.
What makes the game intriguing is that the wide range of customization it offers ensures that no two parks will look exactly alike. Every person who plays the game will have the freedom to create his own park to his liking.
The game is set in the lush, tropical environment of Isla Nublar, a remote island 120 miles west of Costa Rica. It is home to a wide range of dinosaur species — both herbivore and carnivore — that have been around since the first Jurassic Park. The game will also allow the player to explore the neighboring islands of the archipelago, where other dinosaurs have also settled.
"Jurassic World Evolution" will be released for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Microsoft Windows.
