TRUE FEAR IS PRIMAL IN THE LOST WILD
DINOSAUR SURVIVAL HORROR FROM ANNAPURNA INTERACTIVE
LAUNCHING 2027
Face a Prehistoric Threat in upcoming Cinematic Survival Horror Game for
PlayStation 5 and PC
LOS ANGELES, MAY XX, 2026 - Today during the PlayStation State of Play, Annapurna Interactive and developer Great Ape Games announced that the upcoming cinematic survival horror game The Lost Wild will launch in 2027 for PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store.
THE LOST WILD 'TRUE FEAR IS PRIMAL' TRAILER
In The Lost Wild, players embark on an immersive evasion-based survival horror experience where they are pitted against nature's ultimate hunters — dinosaurs. They assume the role of Saskia, who wakes up on a mysterious island overrun by prehistoric creatures. To survive, Saskia must explore derelict research facilities nestled in a lush wilderness and be resourceful while evading and overcoming this unstoppable threat.
Players become the hunted as the dinosaurs roam the abandoned facility, seeking out their prey. It's essential to observe movements and patterns to learn about their behavior, to stay alive in this violent primal world. Choosing the best path forward is key, as players use stealth and caution, or venture off the beaten path to discover hidden routes which might lead to safety.
"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."
Players can acquire useful items to improve the chances of survival, but will become subject to ever-increasing dangers the deeper Saskia explores, while using non-lethal weaponry, resulting in intense cat and mouse-style gameplay. Players can create distractions and use the environment to their advantage or temporarily scare off deadly predators using a combination of non-lethal weaponry to escape and evade.
Outmaneuver, distract, run, and if all else fails, hide.
