Universal Repositions Jurassic Franchise Around Jurassic World

A Saber Interactive game now represents the original 1993 Jurassic Park branch while the studio focuses new films on the Jurassic World era.

Overview

  • Reports published Saturday, September 12, 2026, say Universal has effectively ended plans to return the original Jurassic Park films to theaters and is moving the franchise forward under the Jurassic World banner.
  • Saber Interactive’s Jurassic Park: Survival remains in active development, the studio’s CEO Matt Karch told reporters, and the first-person single-player game follows Dr. Maya Joshi on Isla Nublar with no release date yet.
  • The game is described as a story-driven action-adventure that recreates key 1993 locations and will target PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, according to developer footage and company statements.
  • Universal is developing a sequel to Jurassic World Rebirth but director Gareth Edwards has exited over creative differences and the project currently has no confirmed release date despite reports that several cast members are expected to return.
  • The shift reflects a decades-long commercial transformation—since 2015 the Jurassic World era has dominated box office, animation, games, and theme-park tie-ins, leaving the original branch preserved mainly through non-film projects.
