Do you have what it takes to run a park full of dinosaurs better than they did in the movies? Time to put your skills to the test with Frontier Developments’ Jurassic World: Evolution. Build elaborate enclosures for your dinosaurs, just remember Jeff Goldblum’s classic line from the original film, “life finds a way.” Finds a way to escape captivity and wreak havoc, that is. Jurassic World: Evolution comes to the Switch on November 3rd.

While this last game doesn’t have an exact release date, it has been announced that it will release sometime in 2020. Developer ClockStone, the makers of the original Bridge Constructor, have finally announced a new version of their classic title, with a live action trailer. The new game, The Walking Dead: Bridge Constructor, will arrive on the Switch sometime before the end of the year.

Which game are you the most excited for? Are you ready to jump into a battle royale full of wizards or are you more interested in building your own Jurassic Park?
