Jurassic World Evolution 3 Revealed

Frontier Developments has announced that it is partnering with Universal Products and Experiences to develop Jurassic World Evolution 3, the next game in the dinosaur-themed zoo simulation series. Jurassic World Evolution 3 may be available for release as early as the summer of 2025.

Frontier Developments has also served as the developer of the Zoo Tycoon series of games since its inception and took over the development of the RollerCoaster Tycoon series in 2003 when the original game was ported to Xbox. However, the Jurassic World Evolution games have been the two biggest financial hits for the company, with the first two games in the series marking the top two moneymakers in terms of sales across their first two years. The Jurassic World Evolution series shares some similarities to Zoo Tycoon, in that players are tasked with creating and running a dinosaur-centric theme park for visitors to enjoy, but it includes other aspects such as sending paleontologists to dig for fossils and altering DNA to make the dinosaurs hardier and healthier.

As announced on May 9, Frontier Developments revealed that fans can expect to see Jurassic World Evolution 3 become available between June 1, 2025, and May 31, 2026. The company aims to release a new creative management simulation game every year and has released four games that let players build a theme park since 2016 — Planet Coaster, Planet Zoo, and the other two Jurassic World Evolution games. “Our Jurassic World Evolution game franchise has showcased great creative and technical expertise in CMS games and the strength of our select, develop, launch, and nurture strategy in the genre,” CEO Jonny Watts said in a press release, adding that he looks forward to sharing more information as it becomes available.

Jurassic World Evolution is Frontier’s Most Successful Series

As far as simulations go, the first two Jurassic World Evolution games have stood among the best dinosaur games on the market, according to many fans. Both games hold Very Positive reviews on Steam, with each receiving a 94% positive score in recent reviews.

The developer seems to be banking on the success of the upcoming unnamed film in the Jurassic World series, currently set to hit theaters on July 2, 2025, to drive the success of its next game. The announcement from Frontier Developments makes note of the upcoming film, which was announced in February and is rumored to have attracted the attention of John Wick producer David Leitch for the directorial role. With the film being mentioned in this way, it’s possible the game’s release will be happening closer to the start of that rather broad release window.

Jurassic World Evolution 2

Jurassic World Evolution 2 is a game that offers players an immersive and original Jurassic World storyline set after the events of Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. In the game, players can create their own Jurassic World by utilizing advanced management tools and creative options to construct and customize new buildings.

The game features a variety of never-before-seen locations, ranging from dense forests to rocky deserts, allowing players to exercise their managerial skills in diverse environments. Additionally, Jurassic World Evolution 2 introduces the Chaos Theory mode, which enables players to relive key moments from their favorite Jurassic Park films while experiencing unexpected twists and challenges.
