Alright, buckle up folks, let’s take a stroll down memory lane or… wait, no, it’s more like flying into the future with a dinosaur twist. I know, wild, right? So, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024. Hold on to your hats because it’s about to get prehistoric. They’re adding this Jurassic World: Archipelago thingy. Picture flying over islands with, and I can’t believe I’m saying this, dinosaurs roaming around. It’s coming, um, late August or maybe early September? It’s a mystery wrapped in an enigma!
Oh, and there’s this image, like, right smack in the middle — it’s got that serious gamer vibe. I swear, it looks like something my younger cousin would stay up all night playing, eyes glued to the screen. And I’m like, don’t you need sleep? But I digress.
Anyway, this Flight Simulator has been the cool kid on the block, letting players do everything from pretend camping trips to, I dunno, extreme sport adventures. The real news is Orbx Studios — this Australian gang who’s seriously into making everything look and feel lifelike in these games. They’ve teamed up with Universal something-or-other who owns the Jurassic World stuff — because why not throw in some dinosaurs, right?
They’re rolling out these islands, like, Isla Nublar plus a bunch more with names I can’t spell. And here’s where it gets bonkers: you got helipads and airstrips, plus all the dinos — we’re talking T. rex, Velociraptor, and a whole Jurassic zoo! They’ve tweaked some scenery too, like making parts of Costa Rica look all fancy-schmancy in the game.
Oh, and don’t forget there are whispers about this flight thing landing on PlayStation 5 sometime. Rumors, you know.
Now if you’re a Jurassic World nut — and really, who isn’t — mark those calendars again because Jurassic World Evolution 3 is also coming. It’s, like, a construction sim for all those DIY dinosaur park fantasies set to launch, um, October 21.
Do all these crossovers mean more fans and players? Probably. It’s like they’re saying, “Hey, dinosaur lovers, come fly some planes!” Which, now that I think about it, might just work.
And… where was I going with this? Ah yes, dinosaurs. Absolutely thrilling. Can’t wait. Or… something like that.
