It follow the major success of Jurassic World Evolution and Jurassic World Evolution 2, which released in June 2018 and November 2021, respectively. The third game in the series is scheduled for release in Frontier's financial year 2026 between June 1, 2025 and May 31, 2026.
In February 2024, Universal Pictures and Amblin Entertainment announced an all-new Jurassic World event film currently scheduled for release on July 2, 2025.
Jurassic World Evolution and Jurassic World Evolution 2 rank first and second, respectively, within Frontier's game portfolio in terms revenue generated in their first two years, with Jurassic World Evolution being Frontier's best-selling game to date since its release almost six years ago.
As previously reported, over the last 12 months Frontier has refined its strategy to focus on its leading position in the creative management simulation (CMS) genre, with four successful titles already in its portfolio; Planet Coaster, Planet Zoo, and the first two Jurassic World Evolution games.
Over the next three consecutive financial years, Frontier plans to release one new CMS game per year; the development of the unannounced own-IP CMS game for FY25 is on track and Frontier expects to announce the title in the coming months; the third Jurassic World game confirmed today is scheduled for FY26; and a third unannounced CMS game is planned for FY27.
Frontier CEO Jonny Watts said: “We are delighted to reveal that we are developing a third Jurassic World game to extend our collaborative relationship with Universal Products & Experiences for our best-selling game franchise.
“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. I very much look forward to providing more information on our exciting plans for the franchise in the future."
