Weekly digests, tales from the communities you love, and more
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 theofficial Jurassic Park: Survival Twitter accountto announce pre-orders.
We are very much due a full trailer soon, so keep your eyes on this page.
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 seeingJurassic 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.
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.
