Universal and NBCUniversal maintained an unexplained communication blackout from mid-March to early June. This pause disrupted the promotional timelines of two video games tied to the franchise.
The article explains that a prolonged, unexplained pause in Jurassic Park-related communications from Universal and NBCUniversal disrupted the promotion of two video games tied to the franchise. Saber Interactive’s new title, Stuntman: Hollywood, debuted at Sony PlayStation’s State of Play with a trailer featuring stunts from Universal properties such as Miami Vice and Fast & Furious. The game was also slated to include Jurassic Park content, but the developer could not secure permission for a promotional clip due to an extended period of silence from Universal that began in mid-March and lasted until early June. The exact cause—whether a rights or copyright issue—is unclear, as Universal representatives declined to comment.
The hiatus also affected Frontier Developments’ Jurassic World Evolution 3, which had been releasing free dinosaur DLC monthly. After adding the Cryolophosaurus in February and Amargasaurus in March, no new species appeared in April. Frontier issued multiple apologies citing “reasons outside of our control” and later confirmed a return to schedule, announcing the addition of Dracorex and Liopleurodon on June 1.
Saber Interactive has further Jurassic Park projects, notably the first-person survival game Jurassic Park: Survival, announced at The Game Awards in December 2023. Company CEO Matt Karch reports both titles remain “looking good” despite the earlier promotional setbacks. The piece highlights how a multi-month communication gap can ripple across game development and marketing timelines within the broader entertainment industry.
