The Lost Wild - a dinosaur survival horror game by former Alien: Isolation developers - announced at Sony State of Play
The Lost Wild, a first-person survival horror game, was announced at Sony’s State of Play and will launch on PS5 in 2027. Developed by Great Ape Games and published by Annapurna Interactive, the game places players in the role of Saskia as she explores a mysterious dinosaur-inhabited island while uncovering its secrets.
Unlike traditional action-focused horror games, The Lost Wild emphasizes survival and evasion mechanics. The dinosaurs are designed to behave as wild animals rather than supernatural monsters, positioning players at the bottom of the food chain. Gameplay centers on stealth, awareness, and evasion, requiring players to stay alert and keep a low profile while navigating encounters with dangerous predators. When necessary, players can attempt to escape or use non-lethal weaponry to intimidate creatures, creating intense cat-and-mouse style encounters.
Great Ape Games brings considerable experience to the genre—the team includes former developers from Creative Assembly’s acclaimed Alien: Isolation, known for its tension-driven atmospheric horror design and sophisticated predator AI. This pedigree suggests The Lost Wild will deliver innovative survival horror mechanics focused on fear and vulnerability rather than combat prowess.
