There is news about Jurassic Park: Survival - and they come just in time to end the long dry spell since the announcement 2023 to bridge the gap. Fans of the classic dinosaur franchise have heard little about the survival horror game since the first trailer at the Game Awards, but now a LinkedIn post by John Melchior, software manager at NBC Universal, sheds some light on the subject.
A glimmer of hope for dinosaur fans
"More than excited" according to Melchior, after another performance capture session, which is an exciting confirmation that the game is still in development. But instead of a quick release, it will probably take some time. Melchior promises that "further developments will follow later this year"which nourishes hope, that the big release is due in 2026. It seems that Saber Interactive is spending the necessary time to present the game in its full glory - a sign of quality that gives fans hope.
In a world where many games are rushed onto the market, this patience is definitely a good sign. Melchior emphasizedthat the team has spared no expense to offer fans the "best". But what exactly can we expect? Jurassic Park: Survival will not be a continuation of the recent Jurassic World-movies, but is set directly after the events of the first movie on Isla Nublar. Players take on the role of a worker left behind who must fight for survival during a devastating hurricane - all from a first-person perspective. Dinosaurs on the run from human disasters make for an action-packed horror experience that stays true to the series' roots.

A small glimmer of hope that breaks the long silence after the announcement and sparks new enthusiasm.
All in all, it remains to be seen whether Saber Interactive will master the balancing act between nostalgia and innovation. Jurassic Park: Survival could be exactly the game that the franchise desperately needs in the gaming sector.
