October 21: A Landmark Day for Jurassic World Enthusiasts

Sure, here’s a version that feels more human and less like cold, hard facts.

Okay, so have you ever been in one of those moments when you’re just casually scrolling, and then BAM! Jurassic World Evolution 3 jumps out at you? Yeah, that happened. And it’s launching October 21, 2025, if your inner child wasn’t already screaming. Pre-orders are up for grabs on, well, basically every platform.

They’ve gone and spilled the beans with a gameplay trailer, and get this – we’ve got juvenile dinos now! Seriously, baby dinosaurs. It’s like they knew what we didn’t know we needed.

But, okay, here’s where it gets fuzzy. Frontier Developments, the folks behind this madness, have this reputation for throwing management sims our way. And dinosaurs are obviously showing up from the movies. Honestly, some parks fans built in Jurassic World Evolution 2 are mind-blowing. Now, it’s like they’re handing us the sequel wrapped in shiny new paper.

This went down during the Summer Game Fest 2025 – probably when my brain was half-paying attention. Anyway — wait, where was I? Oh right, October 21 is the golden date for jumping back into dino land, which isn’t, like, super far off. And if you’re the type to click ‘pre-order’ faster than you finish your morning coffee, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC have your back. The Badlands Set comes as a loving nod to Jurassic Park 1993, because why not, nostalgia is a dish best served… every decade?

And then there’s the money bit. The Standard Edition will set you back $59.99. The Deluxe one — which, let’s be honest, most of us will splurge on, is $74.99, and it’s packed with all the extras our inner child wants—extra dino families, cool scenery, and a dollop of bonus skins. Because clearly, you’re gonna need all those for your supreme park design, right?

Now, back to the trailer. Jeff Goldblum, or rather, Dr. Ian Malcolm, narrates it, which is odd because his voice just, you know, fits. And suddenly there’s talk of a breeding system with juvie dinos. Like, what do you even do with that? You manage, breed, and nurture over 75 different species. Plus, there’s this cross-platform sharing thing through Frontier Workshop where you can flaunt your park snaps.

Oh, and there’s a twist: there’s an entirely new campaign where you’re off building parks in Hawaii and Japan, rubbing shoulders with new and old faces, attempting human-dino diplomacy—which sounds way more serious than what I can handle before my coffee kicks in.

Still not convinced Frontier won’t reveal more surprises before the big October bash? Same. Honestly, the gaming slate for 2025 is looking real crowded. But hey, dinosaurs, right? They always roar their way to the front. Fingers crossed they live up to the hype.

Anyway, that’s all I remember right now, and maybe next time I’ll be more organized about these things. Or not—who knows?
