One of 2025’s most interesting-looking games looks set to combine the first-person perspective of Far Cry with the dinosaur survival side of Dino Crisis.
The Lost Wild is an upcoming “survival horror adventure” game on Steam from first-time developers Great Ape Games and publishers Annapurna Interactive.
This genuinely looks like the Dino Crisis successor that fans have been begging Capcom to make for years, but it certainly looks a lot more like the OG, survival-focused Dino Crisis than the bombastic, action-packed Dino Crisis 2.
While the player does have access to weapons, the trailers make it look like fighting the dinosaurs head-on is a bit of a death sentence.

Instead, you’re expected to make use of the environment to weave out of harm's way and to use fire as a means to scare your aggressors away.
Based on the info we know so far, it also sounds like scavenging for resources is going to be paramount to your survival early on, as the threats you encounter will increase in size the further into the jungle you go.
The team behind The Lost Wild has been pretty tight-lipped about offering updates since the first trailer dropped a couple of years back, but in spite of that, it does sound like the game is set to drop very soon.
As stated on The Lost Wild’s official site, the dev team expects it to launch “somewhere around late 2024/early 2025.” Now considering we haven’t heard of any delays since then, it should stand to reason that the game will be out in the next couple of months.

Whenever it does actually drop, it will be a PC-only title available on Steam, Epic Game Store, and GOG.
The developers have stated that next-gen console ports are on their “roadmap”, but it’s likely that a console version is something that will only follow after the PC release experiences some moderate success.
