Frontier Is Developing The Third Installment Of The Jurassic World Game Series, With Plans To Release Two More Strategy Simulation Titles Within The Coming Three Years

Frontier Developments, the acclaimed developer known for Elite Dangerous, has secured an agreement with Universal Products & Experiences to create the next installment in the successful Jurassic World series. It's anticipated to be one of three innovative management simulation titles that the company plans to release in the succeeding years.

Although not officially named Jurassic World Evolution 3, indications suggest it will continue the successful series, as the previous two entries are among the top revenue-generating games for Frontier, taking the top two spots for earnings in their first two years of release. Despite an acknowledgment of somewhat disappointing sales for the sequel's PC version, the series remains a stalwart performer for the developer.

Details about the upcoming Jurassic World project are scant, but Frontier has confirmed it will continue the trend of inventive management simulations. Over the next three years, Frontier has plans to launch a trio of simulation games in this genre.

An original IP management game is set to be unveiled during Frontier's 2024-2025 fiscal year, with an announcement anticipated in the near future. Speculation circles around a potential successor to Planet Coaster, but the precise nature of the game is still under wraps. Upcoming Release: The 2025-2026 fiscal year will see the debut of the latest installment in the Jurassic World Evolution series, advancing the franchise to new heights. Additionally, for the 2026-2027 fiscal year, a third management simulation title will be announced.

Besides these three intriguing games, Frontier has confirmed the release of an F1 Manager sequel slated for this summer. This game is included in a pre-established pact to initiate a quartet of F1-inspired gaming titles. Despite this, the series hasn’t quite hit its stride, with its first release receiving criticism for lack of depth and numerous issues, which ultimately led to the early discontinuation of post-launch support.

This resulted in strained relations with the gaming community and an underwhelming performance for the next iteration. Consequently, shifts within Frontier's internal structure were implemented, including personnel reductions, which drew critical comments from staff regarding the company’s decision-making.

This week, Frontier garnered further criticism for placing an additional price tag on immediate access to a new spacecraft, the Python Mk II, in Elite Dangerous. This action has sparked backlash within the gaming community, with some naming it a "pay to win" scenario.
