Sure thing, let’s dive into this. Are you sitting down? Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 is trying something wild—Jurassic World style! They’re rolling out this add-on called Jurassic World: Archipelago, where you can pilot around dinosaurs and tropical islands. Release? We’re talking late August or maybe early September-ish. It’s basically the flight simulator you love with a prehistoric twist, so buckle up!
Okay, picture this: you’re over there, in whatever digital cockpit you’ve chosen, and suddenly there’s a Mosasaurus down below—you know, giant sea creature-thingy—and you’re trying not to lose your altitude ’cause a Pteranodon’s just flown past your windshield. Man, did you think you’d sign up for this when you first played a flight sim? Probably not, but here we are.
Now, here’s the scoop on who’s making this magic happen. Orbx Studios—these Aussie geniuses who are big into flight sim mods—teamed up with Universal to bring this dino-packed update to life. We’re talkin’ Isla Nublar, all those Muertes islands, a couple of airstrips, some helipads, and a whole lotta dinos, like Velociraptor and, wait for it, Tyrannosaurus Rex. I mean, who doesn’t love a T-rex? Plus, they’ve even tweaked some places in Costa Rica, like Juan Santamaria Airport. I’ve never been, but now I’m curious!
Speaking of crossovers, Orbx and Jurassic have done something massive here. Like, seriously, how many games can mix flying with dinosaurs? Pretty sure this mash-up will get both flight sim folks and Jurassic fans buzzing. Hey, maybe it’ll even pull in some new players who never thought they’d be into this. I’d say it’s a win-win, maybe even a win-win-win. You catch my drift?
Oh, and before I forget, there’s more prehistoric fun coming up. If you’re into games where you build stuff (not my forte, but I get it), Jurassic World Evolution 3 is dropping sometime in October. You could hop from T-rexs in the skies to T-rexs in your park. Wild, right? Plus, there’s talk—yeah, just whispers for now—about Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 sneaking onto PS5. Maybe, maybe not. Time will tell. Anyway, if all of this doesn’t make you wanna hop into the cockpit, I dunno what will!
