Developer Frontier has confirmed that he signed a new license agreement with Universal Products & Experiences for a third The evolution of Jurassic World game (thanks VGC).
While the second game didn’t make it to the Switch, the first Jurassic World Evolution launched in 2020. Frontier says the third game will be released during Frontier’s financial year 2026 (FY 2026) between June 2025 and May 2026, which makes it pretty safe bet on the upcoming ‘Switch 2’.
Frontier also prominently mentions the new Jurassic World movie from Universal Pictures and Amblin Entertainment, which is currently scheduled to be released July 2, 2025. We don’t want to jump to any conclusions here, but it seems reasonable that the third Evolution game will likely take visual and narrative inspiration from the film.
Frontier confirms that it plans to release one creative management simulation (CMS) game per year for the next three years. The first will be based on its own IP and will be released in FY 2025, the second is a follow-up to Jurassic World Evolution in FY 2026, and the third is an unannounced FY 2027 title.
Jonny Watts, CEO of Frontier, said:
“We are pleased to announce that we are developing a third Jurassic World game to expand our collaboration with Universal Products & Experiences for our best-selling game franchise. Our Jurassic World Evolution game franchise has demonstrated great creative and technical expertise in CMS games and the strength of our selection strategy , development, launch and nurturing in the genre I look forward to providing more information about our exciting plans for franchise in the future.”
We have to admit that we’re a little disappointed that the second Jurassic World Evolution skipped the Switch entirely, but we’re going into this one with a dose of optimism. Fingers crossed.
