Jurassic World: Aftermath Comes to Oculus Quest

Jurassic World: Aftermath has arrived on the Oculus Quest 2 and the original Quest VR headset, finally bringing Hollywood's favorite dinosaurs to virtual reality. The new game, set between the events of Jurassic World and Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, sees players take on the role of Sam, a security expert and professional smuggler tasked with recovering information from an abandoned research facility. According to Jurassic Park, players can expect to be hunted by Velociraptors, Dilophosaurus, and lethal Pteranodons unintentionally released during the evacuation of the island. To survive, you'll need to explore the resource facility (à la Alien: Isolation), solve puzzles, and of course, avoid the jaws of the most ferocious creatures ever. It should be noted that Jurassic World: Aftermath is meant to be an enjoyable gaming experience rather than an outright scary VR ride. Brian Gomez, executive producer at Universal Games, said the team behind the game worked to create an experience that, while still terrifying and immersive, isn't "so intimidating to much of the Jurassic audience that they don't totally want an experience." R-rated visceral horror. Ok, maybe not the same as Alien: Isolation. The new game is part of a renewed interest in the famous franchise thanks to the success of Jurassic World (still the sixth most successful movie of all time) and its sequel, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. The third film in the trilogy, Jurassic World: Dominion, is slated for release next year and will feature the return of original cast members Sam Neill and Laura Dern. Jurassic World: Aftermath is also hoping to bring an end to the less impressive series of VR dinosaur games, and will look to mark a successful video game comeback for a movie franchise that hasn't benefited from a worthy geared adaptation. into action from the 16-bit era.
