WhileJurassic World: Evolutionlets players manage dinosaurs, theJurassic World: Aftermathtrailer portrays the game as sticking closer to the series' thriller aspects. It starts off in a ruined office building before transitioning to a crashed park jeep followed by a pterosaur screeching in the moonlight. After that, it transitions to the main player character’s point of view, where it shows him running into an office break room to hide under a table from a Velociraptor pursuing him. The character keeps quiet as he only sees the raptor’s lower legs and the clawed tip of its feet clicking on the floor as it searches for him. The trailer ends on a series of flashing moments where the player character is either running or hiding from multiple raptors only to end with one catching him before transitioning to the game’s title logo and release date.
In contrast to the top-down control oftheSims-likeJurassic World: Evolution, this game puts players in the thick of the danger. It will be fully playable for both the Oculus Quest and Oculus Quest 2.The game promises to provide players the thrill and terror of being chased by man-eating dinosaurs and aims to deliver that VR experience for gamers. The game takes place 2 years after the events of the firstJurassic Worldfilm, but there’s no confirmation if any major characters or celebrities from the franchise likeJeff Goldblum’s Ian Malcolm will make an appearance.
Jurassic World: Aftermathwill be arriving for Oculus Quest and Oculus Quest 2 on August 02, 2025.
