And while the debut trailer doesn’t show any real gameplay, it does show the elements you’d expect from the franchise, including a rampaging T. rex, heavily fortified buildings, a huge expanse of jungle, and that stirring Jurassic Park theme.

Jurassic World Evolution will be available next summer on PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
