Jurassic Park: The Game is the working title of an episodic, downloadable third-person adventure video game currently being developed by Telltale Games that is based on the Jurassic Park franchise. The game was originally announced in June 2010 before being revealed in the February issue of Game Informer. The first episode is expected for release in April 2011.[1]
Development
The game was originally announced on June 8, 2010 along with Back to the Future: The Game.[2] However, Back to the Future was released first, on December 22, 2010.[3] On January 14, 2011, in an exclusive article for Game Informer, Jurassic Park: The Game was officially unveiled. The game is set to have an original plot that takes place both concurrently and after the plot of the original Jurassic Park film and is set to resolve some loose ends of the film, such as the fate of Dennis Nedry's shaving-cream can and the embryos contained within. It was also announced that there will be new characters and that the characters from the original film will only be referenced. There are also returning dinosaurs, such as the Tyrannosaurus, Velociraptor, and Triceratops as well as a new, nocturnal dinosaur with glowing eyes (most likely a small carnivore such as Guanlong or Megapnosaurus). It has been stated that the game will not be a shooter and instead focus more on its characters. The developers have described it as being similar to Heavy Rain.[4] It will also have decision-based objectives as well as quick-time events that affect gameplay as well as how the game's events play out, making it the first game by Telltale in which the player can be killed.[5] More details are expected to be released in Telltale's February press release.
Release
In a recently released reveal trailer, Jurassic Park: The Game was confirmed for April 2011.
