During the recent PlayStation State of Play presentation, Stuntman: Hollywood was announced – a new installment in the series, returning almost two decades after the previous game. In the debut trailer, developers showcased stunts inspired by famous films and TV shows, but attentive viewers noticed the absence of one of Universal's biggest franchises – "Jurassic Park".
According to journalist Stephen Totilo from GameFile, "Jurassic Park" is indeed present in Stuntman: Hollywood as one of the licensed collaborations. According to Saber Interactive CEO Matt Karch, developers were not allowed to show franchise-related material in the game's announcement trailer.
Karch said that the reason was communication problems surrounding the Jurassic Park brand. For several months, the developers did not receive the necessary information about announcement plans, which affected not only the presentation of Stuntman: Hollywood but also the timing of revealing some project details. At the same time, the head of Saber noted that he was never explained the reasons for the difficulties.
According to Universal, the situation has already been resolved. Communication problems affected not only the game but also the official social media accounts related to the franchise, which published almost no new material from mid-March to June 2. Now, activity around Jurassic Park has resumed, and the development of Jurassic Park Survival is reportedly progressing successfully.
