Key Takeaways

📺 Jurassic World Evolution 3 Roars to Life on October 21

The highly anticipated Jurassic World Evolution 3 will officially launch on October 21, 2025, at 10 a.m. Eastern Time, which translates to 3 p.m. in the UK. According to IGN's confirmation, this timing ensures a synchronized global release for fans eager to return to the world of prehistoric park management. The sequel, developed by Frontier Developments, aims to expand upon the acclaimed foundation of Jurassic World Evolution 2, giving players even more control over how they design, manage, and survive the chaos of running a dinosaur park. The official gameplay trailer showcases enhanced visuals, dynamic weather patterns, and a wider variety of species — hinting at a far more immersive experience.


Players can expect a deeper simulation system that emphasizes realism and unpredictability. Frontier appears to be doubling down on what fans loved most: emergent events, adaptive ecosystems, and intricate management challenges. The addition of advanced AI behavior means dinosaurs will respond more naturally to their environment and other species, adding complexity to every enclosure and interaction. With these improvements, Jurassic World Evolution 3 looks poised to redefine the genre once again, delivering a fine balance between creative freedom and the ever-present threat of chaos. As the countdown to launch continues, anticipation within the simulation gaming community is reaching new heights.

📺 Resident Evil 0 Remake Rumors Spark Fresh Excitement

Strong speculation has emerged that Capcom may be developing a Resident Evil 0 Remake, reigniting interest in one of the franchise's most atmospheric prequels. The rumor began when a voice actor's résumé mentioned a mysterious "Project Chamber", as reported by VGC. The name caught attention because of its clear link to Rebecca Chambers, one of Resident Evil 0's protagonists. Capcom has already confirmed that more Resident Evil remakes are in development, and given the success of the Resident Evil 2, 3, and 4 remakes, returning to the origins of the story feels like a natural next step. Fans revisiting the original launch trailer have been reminded of just how experimental the original game was for its time, with its unique partner-switching mechanic and eerie train setting.


If this remake is indeed real, players can likely expect a full reimagining using the RE Engine — Capcom's proprietary technology behind its recent successes. This could mean vastly improved lighting, overhauled character models, and refined gameplay that eliminates the cumbersome inventory system of the original. Modernized controls and atmospheric updates would make Resident Evil 0 feel like a truly new experience while retaining the core survival horror tension that defines the series. For long-time fans, the possibility of exploring the Ecliptic Express again — this time rendered in stunning detail — is an exciting prospect that signals Capcom's continued dedication to preserving and enhancing its classic titles.

📺 Final Fantasy 9 Remake Faces a Disappointing Setback

Reports suggest that development on the Final Fantasy 9 Remake has been paused, leaving fans disheartened after years of anticipation. According to Game Rant's recent coverage, industry insiders have indicated that the project is "on ice", meaning that Square Enix has temporarily halted work on it in favor of focusing resources elsewhere. The news is particularly disappointing given the emotional attachment many players have to Final Fantasy IX — a title often praised for its heartfelt story, charming world, and return to the series' fantasy roots. The decision comes at a time when Square Enix continues to invest heavily in the Final Fantasy VII Remake series, which has become one of the studio's most ambitious ongoing projects.


Despite the setback, fans continue to discuss potential reasons and implications for the pause. The speculation intensified after content creator John Q. Gamer released a video proposing a Final Fantasy "multiverse" theory connecting the universes of FF7 and FF9. His follow-up post on X fueled the idea that Square Enix may be restructuring its remake roadmap to align these storylines into a cohesive narrative universe. While the delay is discouraging, it could also mean that Final Fantasy IX is being positioned for a more integrated role in the series' future. For now, the only certainty is that fans will continue to revisit the original trailer and wait for official confirmation from Square Enix about what lies ahead for this beloved classic.
