Key Takeaways
- Jurassic World Evolution 3 has been announced as a new game in the dino-themed management sim series by Frontier Developments.
- The game is expected to release between June 1, 2025, and May 31, 2026.
- Frontier aims to release a new creative management simulation game every year.
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.

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.
