Jurassic World Live, a Pokemon GO-like Mobile AR Game, Set for a Spring Launch
03/07/2018 10:08 am EST
Pokemon GO continues to be a huge hit in the mobile market, proving that AR games can be very successful if done correctly. Looks like pocket monsters aren't enough, however, and now we're moving on to much bigger things ... dinosaurs, in fact.
Jurassic World: Alive marks the first mobile AR game for this brand and looks to be very exciting for players looking for something new within this niche. The latest game itself will allow players to get to know these dinosaurs as if they are really there while also battling it out with other players with bred dinos poised for the take down.
The new game comes from a partnership between Universal and mobile-game developer Ludio, which marks this the third title that they have tackled together. We don't have a release date quite yet, but it is set to launch just before Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, which is slated for a late June debut. Interested in learning more? You can pre-register for the upcoming game right here for both iOS and Android users. For more about the dino experience itself:
