It’s a nay on the latter, but the good news is that the game’s now making its way to the PS5, with a new trailer showcased at the recent State of Play.

And what a trailer it is. It begins as any encounter with dinosaurs left to run free in their natural habitat would, with one attacking potential protagonists, crashing into their car as they take a leisurely ride through a beautifully rendered forest. Well, what follows is a showcase of a gameplay loop in which you’re the prey and need to keep your wits about you as you navigate the world. This is a game about patience, restraint, and carefully considered actions, all of which you’re going to need if you don’t want to end up as a dinosaur’s next meal.

The developers are touting this one as a subversion of modern gaming’s tried and tested power fantasy, and we’re more than inclined to agree. You’d probably feel the same way after you watch the new trailer.

Described as an “immersive and cinematic dinosaur game,” The Lost Wild seeks to capture the “reverence and terror” of the beasts (who are more akin to wild animals with observable habits). Players explore the prehistoric wilderness and must do their best to stay hidden and avoid detection. Running and non-lethal weaponry (including a flare gun) are also options, the latter serving to intimidate predators.

The story sees the player stranded in a strange world full of primal terrors but a voice on the radio seems to offer guidance. For the most part, you’ll need to explore various abandoned facilities and scavenge any supplies to survive while evading the dinosaurs. How did things end up this way? It’s up to you to find out. Stay tuned for more details on The Lost Wild in the coming months.
