Sanctuaries Update for Jurassic World Alive Provides Greater Interaction With the Dinosaurs

It used to be that when mentioning augmented reality (AR) videogames only one title came up, Pokemon GO. Nowadays it has got plenty of competition from the likes of The Walking Dead: Ourworld, Ghostbusters World, Reality Clash, Harry Potter: Wizards Unite and Jurassic World Alive to name just a few. The latter hit mobile devices in 2018 and to celebrate its first anniversary as well as the opening of Universal Studios’ Jurassic World – The Ride, developer Ludia has released a new update called Sanctuaries. 

Jurassic World Alive Sanctuary

In Jurassic World Alive you play as a new member of the Dinosaur Protection Group (DPG), tasked with caring for and protecting dinosaurs. The new Sanctuaries update allows players to engage with their dinosaurs in new ways, enabling them to feed, interact and play with their dinosaurs in order to earn DNA and build up their dinosaur collection.

For example, remember the famous T-Rex feeding scene with the goat from the first movie, well if you happen to be caring for a T-Rex you can feed it a goat, or how about giving those cunning Raptors something to play with, taking their minds off of hunting you.

It’s not just about looking after your own dinos alone. In the update, players can engage in cooperative play and share Sanctuaries with their Alliance team members so that each team member can care for each other’s dinosaurs.

And there’s still all the popular mechanics which have seen Jurassic World Alive achieve 17 million downloads worldwide such as combining the DNA of collected creatures to create the ultimate hybrid whilst training and levelling up dinosaurs to then take into player-versus-player battles.

As mentioned, Universal Studios Hollywood’s Jurassic World – The Ride will be working in tandem with the videogame. To start with players will soon be able to engage in Strike Events, Treasure Chases and Event Supply Drops at various locations throughout the theme park for a limited time. Then later this summer, players will have the opportunity to collect dinosaurs and track down an exclusive Epic Incubator, a capsule that contains valuable resources, such as dinosaur DNA at the theme park.

Jurassic World Alive is available for iOS and Android for free. For further AR updates, keep reading VRFocus.

Players step into the role of a brand-new member of the Dinosaur Protection Group (DPG), with the mission of saving dinosaurs from a second extinction. The track might sound scary but it will be easier than you think thanks to the technology made available to members of the DPG. Players will need to explore their surroundings looking for these magnificent animals in order to then collect their DNA samples to protect the dinosaurs from being lost forever.

The title might seem similar in style to that of Pokémon GO but Jurassic World Alive offers players a different immersive experience with new gameplay systems to enjoy. For starters, players will not only discover dinosaurs as they travel around but will also be able to develop new ones altogether by combining the DNA of collected creatures to create the ultimate hybrid. Of course players will be able to then train and level up their dinosaurs to then take into player-versus-player battles to see who has the best fighter around.

Players will also need to make good use of their drone, which is used to collect the DNA samples, leveling it up to allow better DNA collection and longer battery life. Progression will be earned from completing tasks and finding supply drops which become available at random within the open world for players to collect.

Jurassic World Alive was developed by Ludia as part of a partnership with Universal with Alex Thabet, President and CEO of Ludia saying: “With Jurassic World Alive, our goal is for audiences to be fully immersed into a world with living dinosaurs in a way that’s never been possible until today. We’re giving them the opportunity to explore and connect with like-minded players while building and interacting with these powerful prehistoric species.”

Players who want to start hunting and collecting dinosaurs can do so now on iOS and Android devices with capable AR support. The title also includes a VIP membership for a monthly fee of $9.99 (USD) which is optional. VRFocus will be sure to bring you all the latest on the title in the future.

The Park Is Open, Everywhere, As Jurassic Park Does Pokémon GO

After the massive success of Pokemon Go, and the new capabilities offered by the ARKit and ARCore toolsets, a number of franchises are looking to augmented reality (AR) to bring a world to life. The latest is Jurassic World Alive, an AR mobile app that lets users collect dinosaurs.

Jurassic World Alive is the result of a partnership between franchise holders Universal and videogame developers Ludia, and is the third title to be produced by the partnership. The app will use location-based technology to let users find and collect dinosaurs.

Users of the app will be able to explore their city or neighbourhood and find dinosaurs featured in the Jurassic World movie, as well as those from the upcoming Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom film. Users will be able to collect dinosaurs, and create their own hybrid creatures in a lab, then pose and take AR pictures with their creatures and share them on social media.

Alex Thabet, President and CEO of Ludia, says: “With Jurassic World Alive, our goal is for audiences to be fully immersed into a world with living dinosaurs in a way that’s never been possible until today. We’re giving them the opportunity to explore and connect with like-minded players while building and interacting with these powerful prehistoric species.”

“Jurassic World fans have long dreamed of seeing these majestic and sometimes frightening creatures in real life. With the location and AR technology available today, we can finally make that dream a reality,” said Chris Heatherly, Executive Vice President of Games and Digital Platforms, Universal Brand Development. “We are thrilled to once again work with Ludia and think this will be the biggest and most exciting game in the franchise yet!”

Jurassic World Alive will launch worldwide on 22nd June 2018 for Google Play Store and Apple App Store. Interested users can visit the official website to pre-register to receive a free in-game item upon launch. Further news on this and other upcoming new AR apps will be right here on VRFocus.
