Jurassic World Evolution 3 Announced, Due Out by May 2026

Frontier Developments has announced Jurassic World Evolution 3, due out during its 2026 financial year. That means it will be out at some point between June 1, 2025 and May 31, 2026.

Frontier said it had signed a license with Universal Products & Experiences for a third Jurassic World game, which follows 2018’s Jurassic World Evolution and 2021’s Jurassic World Evolution 2.

IGN’s Jurassic World Evolution 2 review returned a 7/10. We said: “While park management and customization aspects are a bit shallow, Jurassic World Evolution 2 has tons of excellent dinosaurs and exciting ways to interact with them.”

Frontier has refocused on creative management simulation (CMS) games after a tough few years in which a number of high-profile games failed to meet sales expectations.

Earlier in April, Frontier sold the publishing rights to RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 to Atari for $7 million, bringing in much-needed cash. Frontier recently came under fire from Elite Dangerous players after announcing plans to sell virtual spaceships for real money.

Countering the doom and gloom, Frontier recently said sales of its games since January have been “in-line with expectations”, with Jurassic World Evolution 2 and Planet
