Universal Nudges Parts of the ‘Jurassic’ Franchise Back to the Original ‘Park’ Era
A new game set after the 1993 film signals a nostalgia-driven pivot in select projects.
Overview
- Saber Interactive’s Jurassic Park: Survival, which outlets detailed Monday, returns players to Isla Nublar 24 hours after the 1993 film and has no release date for its PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC launch.
- The first-person, single-player game follows Dr. Maya Joshi, an InGen scientist stranded after the evacuation, with survival against T. rex, Dilophosaurus, and Velociraptors as the core play loop.
- Universal Studios Hollywood opened a limited-run walkthrough from April 23 to May 19 that uses Jurassic World branding yet showcases original-trilogy characters, dinosaurs, vehicles, and props.
- The Jurassic World animated run has paused after Chaos Theory ended in 2024–2025, and neither Universal nor Netflix has announced a continuation.
- The World era still drives revenue, with the first three films each topping $1 billion and 2025’s Rebirth earning $869.1 million despite criticism of its script and characters, while sequel rumors remain unconfirmed by the studio.
