PS1 had a T-Rex: PSVR 2 could be about to give you all of Jurassic Park to play with.
Thunderful, the parent company behind indie and VR developer Coatsink, revealed in its Q2022 "interim report" that Coatsink is working on a "survival horror" game using Jurassic World IP (the sequel series to Jurassic Park). , which will come to consoles. and VR in the second half of XNUMX.
With only PlayStation VR and the upcoming PSVR 2 bringing VR and consoles together, it seems like a good bet this is heading towards Sony's next-gen VR headset.
The game, currently called "Jaffa," will join a VR-only "co-op survival" title in 2023, codenamed "Date."
While PSVR 2 support for Jaffa has yet to be officially announced, the headset library is already starting to fill up, ahead of launch.
Prospective PSVR 2 owners have the likes of Horizon: Call of the Mountain, Firmament, and Among Us VR to look forward to, even if the headset itself doesn't yet have a release date.
(*2*)Welcome (back?) to Jurassic ParkIf Coatsink does indeed bring Jurassic Park to PSVR 2, it won't be the first time the developer has worked with the dino-filled property.
He was the developer behind Jurassic World Aftermath, the Oculus Quest-exclusive stealth game that combined Alien Isolation-style predator-prey gameplay with the raptors and food scene of the first Jurassic Park.
So there's a strong possibility that Coatsink's Jaffa is just a port of Aftermath, provided its Oculus exclusivity has been served.
It's a big year for the Jurassic franchise, though, with a sixth movie in the series (and the culmination of the "Jurassic World" sequel trilogy) landing in June. Jurassic World: Dominion tells the story of a world now overrun by genetically modified dinosaurs. Could Coatsink's next Jurassic title tie in with this new story?
