We got a look at a dinosaur survival game called The Lost Wild: True Fear Is Primal. It looks like all my Jurassic Park video game dreams come true. It’s slated for PS5 in 2027, and I will be seated.
Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis was scheduled to launch in 2026, but during Tuesday’s State of Play show, it got a release date of February 12th, 2027. Like Fable, seems it’s steering clear of Grand Theft Auto VI.

It’s coming to PC and Xbox on July 29th.
