Is THE Jurassic Park game that all fans are waiting for risk being canceled like other projects in recent months? The studio has made a very important statement, and it’s a relief.
The Jurassic Park saga will forever remain iconic thanks to Steven Spielberg’s masterpiece. No matter the failed films after that, everyone still remembers the countless magical scenes from the feature film, including the T-Rex’s escape. And for years, players have been dreaming of a new video game that would be as ambitious as this masterpiece. Then, during the Game Awards 2023, a title was announced by surprise. Is it still in development?
Jurassic Park Survival canceled or still alive?
Just a few weeks ago, the future of Jurassic Park Survival could have been called into question. The reason for this is that the game is developed by Saber Interactive, which until recently belonged to the giant Embracer Group. A company that has multiplied studio buyouts in record time, then closures and layoffs. To avoid being the next target, Saber Interactive negotiated its independence. And the excellent news is that the company is keeping its games in development, including Jurassic Park Survival. The game that everyone is waiting for is therefore saved from cancellation. Phew!
I’ve received a lot of questions regarding the status of some of our announced projects now that Saber has become independent from Embracer. I’m happy to confirm that we are still working on a number of these titles. This includes Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, John Carpenter’s Toxic Commando, and Jurassic Park Survival. We’re very excited about them and can’t wait to share more information with everyone soon.

An Alien Isolation but with dinosaurs
The announcement of Jurassic Park Survival was one of the best announcements of these 2023 Game Awards. With its first trailer, the game necessarily revived memories since it reproduces different scenes from Spielberg’s film. The face-to-face encounters with the T-Rex or the dilophosaurus, or even the sequence in the kitchen have been transcribed. Towards the end, we even see gameplay phases which reveal a subjective view. And for the moment, there is reason to be very excited about the project given that we are heading towards an Alien Isolation according to journalist Jeff Grubb, but with dinos.
As a result, Jurassic Park Survival should put the big guns in the closet for an experience focused more on stealth and dodging different creatures. By searching the official site, we can also find a sentence which confirms what he said. “ Outsmart, escape and interact with the film’s iconic dinosaurs using ingenuity through distraction and stealth “. Jurassic Park Survival doesn’t have a release date yet, but it will be available on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
