Jurassic World Evolution 3 Announced, Due Out by May 2026 – IGN

Frontier has refocused on creative management simulation (CMS) games after a tough few years in which a number of high-profile games failed to meet sales expectations. In November, Frontier issued a trading update following poor launch sales of its real-time strategy game Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Realms of Ruin. The studio has also suffered a round of layoffs. Earlier in April, Frontier sold the publishing rights to RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 to Atari for $7 million, bringing in much-needed cash. Frontier recently came under fire from Elite Dangerous players after announcing plans to sell virtual spaceships for real money.

Countering the doom and gloom, Frontier recently said sales of its games since January have been “in-line with expectations”, with Jurassic World Evolution 2 and Planet Zoo leading the charge. The recent console release of Planet Zoo saw “strong player engagement”, with total sales up to and including the day of release greater than the sales achieved by Planet Coaster when that game came out on consoles in November 2020.

Over the next three consecutive financial years, Frontier plans to release one new CMS game per year. There’s an unannounced own-IP CMS game for FY25, which Frontier said is “on track”, the third Jurassic World game confirmed today scheduled for FY26; and a third unannounced CMS game planned for FY27.
