The Jurassic Park franchise is no stranger to tension, danger, and the occasional terrifying dinosaur showdown. But the upcoming “Jurassic Park: Survival” promises to turn the dial up to eleven, delivering an experience that immerses players in a truly hostile world.
Set just 24 hours after the catastrophic events of the 1993 classic, this first-person action-adventure game invites fans back to Isla Nublar in a way they’ve never seen before.
“Jurassic Park: Survival” places players in the role of Dr. Maya Joshi, a stranded InGen scientist fighting to stay alive on the dinosaur-filled island. As chaos reigns in the aftermath of Jurassic Park’s collapse, players must navigate a fully realized Isla Nublar teeming with familiar dinosaurs, reactive wildlife, and hidden threats.
What sets this game apart is its attention to detail and its ties to the original film. Players will visit iconic locations like the Visitor Center and the park gates while exploring never-before-seen areas that expand the lore of the Jurassic Park universe.

At the heart of “Jurassic Park: Survival” is its unrelenting danger. From the cunning Velociraptors to the mighty Tyrannosaurus Rex, every encounter with the island’s prehistoric inhabitants is designed to test your wits and survival instincts. And with no confirmation of heavy firepower at your disposal, this isn’t about taking down dinosaurs—it’s about outsmarting them.
Fans are already comparing the game’s tone to that of “Alien: Isolation”, a survival-horror masterpiece where tension comes from the player’s vulnerability. In “Jurassic Park: Survival”, it’s clear that Dr. Maya Joshi’s journey will be as much about strategy and stealth as it is about avoiding becoming dino food.
While the Jurassic Park films are known for their edge-of-your-seat thrills, “Jurassic Park: Survival” looks set to outdo them in terms of intensity and violence. The game’s official website and Steam profile describe it as featuring “intense science fiction terror with death and violence from dinosaurs against humans and against other dinosaurs.” The pending rating has sparked discussions about whether this will become the most mature entry in the franchise to date.
The comparisons to “Alien: Isolation” don’t end at the survival mechanics—fans expect “Jurassic Park: Survival” to pull no punches when it comes to the brutal realities of facing off against prehistoric predators. Whether it’s the predatory Dilophosaurus or the apex T-Rex, players will likely face plenty of gruesome ends as they attempt to outlast the island’s dangers.
