Jurassic Park: Survival – Everything we know so far about the new Jurassic Park game (1)

Saber Interactive is bringing us Jurassic Park: Survival, a new Jurassic Park game filled with movie references and plenty of pointy-toothed predators. The single-player adventure focuses on first-person stealth and action, and from what we've seen so far, Jurassic Park: Survival could one day be worthy of becoming one of the best stealth games yet. It's too soon to tell in that regard, but one thing's for sure: a gripping single-player JP experience is what franchise fans have always dreamed of since first laying eyes on Spielberg's classic.

We know that Jurassic Park: Survival takes place one day after the events of the original 1993 film, where you find yourself stranded on the infamous Isla Nublar island surrounded by danger.It's still early days for Saber, meaning we don't expect to see it among the new games for 2024. Still, the tense stealth gameplay and towering dinosaurs almost make me want to count Jurassic Park: Survival as an upcoming horror game.

With Saber promising that all of its dinosaurs will have their own distinct and adaptive behaviors and that Isla Nublar will be teeming with life, this has quickly become one of our most anticipated upcoming PS5 games and upcoming Xbox Series X games. So keep on reading for all the latest Jurassic Park: Survival news, details, and more from the World War Z developer.

Recent updates

This Jurassic Park: Survival hub was updated on November 13, 2024. We've ensured that you'll find the latest news below and that everything is up to date!

Jurassic Park: Survival release date speculation and platforms

Jurassic Park: Survival – Everything we know so far about the new Jurassic Park game (2)

Saber Interactive has yet to confirm a Jurassic Park: Survival release date, but the developer has confirmed that the game will eventually launch on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X.

While the reveal trailer was primarily cinematic, it did include some pre-alpha footage, which is representative of the quality the studio is shooting to deliver. So, keeping that in mind, we are guessing that we'll only see the game arrive sometime in mid-2025, as 2024 is almost over, and there has still been no new news. Stay tuned as we track updates.

What we do know for certain is that the game is now available to wishlist "on the platform of your choosing," as per a past update from Jurassic Park: Survival's official Twitter.

While the teaser is promising and feels straight out of Hollywood, it's been ages since we got any new trailers. The most recent clip shared was a very short video of a character walking through an abandoned kitchen, which was posted via the official Jurassic Park: Survival Twitter account to announce pre-orders.

We are very much due a full trailer soon, so keep your eyes on this page.

Jurassic Park: Survival story

Jurassic Park: Survival – Everything we know so far about the new Jurassic Park game (3)

Jurassic Park: Survival is set shortly after the events of the original 1993 film, picking up the day after Isla Nublar is evacuated. Not everyone made it off, though, and that's where you come in. Jurassic Park: Survival will see you take on the role of Dr. Maya Joshi, an Indian scientist who is desperately trying to survive.

Maya Joshi is a new character to the Jurassic Park universe, although you'll encounter a variety of familiar locations throughout the story from both the Jurassic Park trilogy and the Jurassic World movies. Saber says that you'll be able to venture through a "fully realized Isla Nublar filled with reactive wildlife, dinosaurs, and other surprising threats" as you attempt to evade a range of Prehistoric predators.

Jurassic Park: Survival takes place on Isla Nublar, the remote island where John Hammond unwittingly unleashed a Prehistoric nightmare on hundreds of tourists and scientists. Saber promises that this space will be "fully realized," giving you the opportunity to visit iconic locations "from the iconic towering park gates to the Visitor Center and beyond."

While we've only seen a little of it so far, the studio promises that it's filling Isla Nublar with living dinosaurs, each with their own adaptive behaviors and a wide array of reactive environments and wildlife. You'll need to use what little resources are left intact on the island in an effort to survive in the wild.

From concept art, it also looks like we'll be seeing Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom locations, specifically the radio tower bunker from that film. In Fallen Kingdom, the tower was a bit worse for wear, so it will be cool seeing it functional and in its prime. It also means that Jurassic Park: Survival will be taking the whole franchise into account and we can't wait to see how the game connects all the new movies to the original trilogy once it releases.

Speaking of the original trilogy, there have also been screenshots showing the iconic rotating theatre from the first Jurassic Park movie, with Mr DNA giving his presentation on modern dino creation from Survival. Honestly, this looks like it's shaping up to be a fan's dream, and we can't wait for more locations to be announced in the future.

Jurassic Park: Survival gameplay

While we've only seen a little pre-alpha footage so far, the Jurassic Park: Survival gameplay experience looks intense. Saber is designing a single-player adventure game which focuses on stealth movement and action – and it doesn't sound all that dissimilar to the sort of experience The Creative Assembly pushed for with Alien: Isolation. Given how destructive creatures like the Dilophosaurus, Velociraptor, and Tyrannosaurus Rex are – all of whom can be seen in the first trailer – there's little use trying to fight head-on.

Instead, Saber promises you'll need to use your "ingenuity through distraction and stealth to navigate intense and unforgettable encounters in a journey to outlast some of the deadliest creatures to ever walk the earth." Survival isn't going to be easy, so expect to be on the hunt for intelligent solutions to increasingly perilous situations. We're keen to see more of Jurassic Park: Survival in action, but what we've seen so far is certainly promising.

Check out the best horror games ever to get you psyched for Jurassic Park: Survival. We also have a list of the best dinosaur games and a guide to all the upcoming PC games for you to look forward to as well.
