Hollywood actor Jeff Goldblum announced that he will reprise his role as Dr. Ian Malcolm in the upcoming dino-simulation game, Jurassic World Evolution.
The game, currently developed by Frontier Developments (Planet Coaster, Elite: Dangerous) made news last year when the studio announced the game in August 2017. Players will be transported to the Muertes Archipelago where you will take control of Isla Nublar, starting from scratch, reproduce a new breed of bioengineeres dinosaurs whilst building top-of-the-line enclosures to protect the human population from these dinosaurs. Players can add thrill rides, food stalls and plenty of other fun activities plus research facilities to continue your research.
But what could easily be the most interesting aspect of the game is that players can alter the DNA of the dinosaurs. According to an interview with PC Gamer, lead designer Andrew Fletcher detailed the great level if depth players will have with DNA tamepring:
“You’ll start by sending fossil dig teams around the world, who’ll return with dinosaur bones that you can extract DNA from. You’ll build the genome, and can even make slight adjustments to it. It’s about trying to key into the science of the movies. Once you have a genome you have to incubate the dinosaur and then set it free in your park.“
According to a video posted by Frontier Developments, Goldblum sated that as Dr. Malcolm, he will feature in the game (and the upcoming film Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom) as he will be with the players “the whole game”.
“I’m gonna be with you the whole game as Dr. Ian Malcolm, that’s the character I play in those Jurassic Park movies.
“I highly recommend it. It gets 10 Goldblums out of a possible 10 Goldblums. That’s my highest rating.”
The game is schedule for release in the Summer 2018 as the studio have yet to announce an official release date.
