A Groundbreaking Collaboration
The Sandbox, a social gaming and metaverse platform under Animoca Brands, is partnering with Universal Products & Experiences and Amblin Entertainment to bring Jurassic World into the metaverse. Fans will experience new games, interactive environments, and exclusive digital collectibles, including dinosaurs and playable characters. The first Jurassic World game will launch as part of Alpha Season 5 in March 2025.
Bringing Dinosaurs to the Virtual World
“Jurassic World is an iconic franchise that excites fans with the thrill of dinosaurs, and we’re thrilled to bring it into The Sandbox,” said Arthur Madrid, CEO and Co-Founder of The Sandbox. “Gamified experiences are the future of fan engagement, and this collaboration delivers exactly that.”
Introducing Jurassic World: Dinosaur Preserve
The first game, Jurassic World: Dinosaur Preserve, places players in an Arizona sanctuary as members of the Dinosaur Protection Group. Their mission is to manage the facility by exploring, collecting resources, and completing quests.
A limited dinosaur egg collection will let players hatch and evolve dinosaurs like Tyrannosaurus Rex and Velociraptors. With dynamic challenges and changing events, no two visits to the sanctuary will be the same.
A Childhood Dream Turned Reality
“The metaverse can bring childhood dreams to life. Who hasn’t been fascinated by dinosaurs?” said Sebastien Borget, COO & Co-Founder of The Sandbox. “Now, fans can explore, interact, and even create their own Jurassic World adventures.”
Virtual Real Estate and Customization
Starting in April 2024, fans can buy virtual real estate and build their own experiences. Premium LAND owners will receive a Creator Asset Pack, featuring digital dinosaurs and props to enhance their prehistoric worlds.
When and Where to Play
Jurassic World: Dinosaur Preserve debuts in Alpha Season 5 in March 2025, with more details to come. Players can expect an engaging and evolving gameplay experience with regular updates, new challenges, and additional content inspired by the beloved franchise.
The collaboration showcases The Sandbox’s commitment to immersive entertainment, allowing fans to relive the magic of Jurassic World in an interactive way. As metaverse gaming continues to grow, this partnership sets a new standard for how iconic franchises can transition into digital worlds.
