Frontier Developments has announced the release date for Jurassic World Evolution.
The theme park-management simulator will launch for Windows PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One on June 12th of this year. A retail version is coming later on July 3rd for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Featured above, you can view a new pre-order trailer for the game.
If you manage to snag a pre-order for the game both in standard and digital deluxe (the latter of which includes five bonus dinos), you’ll get a platform-exclusive helicopter skin and off-road vehicle skin. A very important recent update for the game confirmed Jeff Goldblum would be reprising his role of Dr. Ian Malcolm in the new game.
Here’s a rundown on the game, via Frontier Developments:
Based on Universal Pictures’ iconic film franchise and created in collaboration with Universal Brand Development, the game expands on the official Jurassic World mythology and puts players in charge of cinema’s greatest tourist destination – where they will have the opportunity to create and manage their own Jurassic World.
“As long-time fans of the entire Jurassic series we’re thrilled to be putting players in charge of their own Jurassic World,” said Frontier’s Chief Creative Officer, Jonny Watts. “We’re excited to bring over fifteen years of management, simulation, and creature development expertise to a destination and franchise that remains an inspiration to us.”
Jurassic World Evolution evolves players’ relationship with the Jurassic World film franchise, placing them in control of operations on the legendary island of Isla Nublar and the surrounding islands of the Muertes Archipelago. Players will build their own Jurassic World as they bioengineer new dinosaur breeds and construct attractions, containment and research facilities. Every choice leads to a different path and spectacular challenges arise when ‘life finds a way.’
