“The Lost Wild,” an upcoming survival horror game, will launch in 2027, Annapurna Interactive and developer Great Ape Games announced during PlayStation’s State of Play event. The game will be available for PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store.
In “The Lost Wild,” players will be pitted against dinosaurs as Saskia, a character who “wakes up on a mysterious island overrun by prehistoric creatures,” per the official logline. “To survive, Saskia must explore derelict research facilities nestled in a lush wilderness and be resourceful while evading and overcoming this unstoppable threat.”
Throughout the game, players can create distractions and temporarily scare off the dinosaurs using non-lethal weaponry. They will also be able to acquire items to assist in their survival.
“‘The Lost Wild’ is a survival horror experience unlike any other, one that is built around slow burn tension while players are hunted by intelligent dinosaurs. These are not monsters, these are wild animals that think of you as prey,” said Great Ape Games CEO Nick Gregory. “This idea has persisted in various forms and iterations over the years. What started as a shared passion for dinosaurs, curiosity and a love of games eventually grew into a fully fledged grassroots studio with over 25 talented people behind it. We now find ourselves in the incredibly fortunate position of building our dream dinosaur game, a true love letter to the genre, alongside one of the best publishers in the industry.”
