The Lost Wild

The Lost Wild is a cinematic survival horror game developed by Great Ape Games and published by Annapurna Interactive, announced at PlayStation State of Play on 2 June 2026 and scheduled to launch in 2027 for PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store. The game places players in the role of Saskia, who wakes up on a mysterious island overrun by dinosaurs and must navigate derelict research facilities set within a lush wilderness to find a way out. Great Ape Games is a grassroots studio of over 25 people founded around a shared passion for dinosaurs and survival horror, with The Lost Wild as their debut title.

Rather than framing dinosaurs as monsters to be killed, the game treats them as intelligent wild animals that perceive Saskia as prey. Combat is non-lethal by design: players use distractions, environmental awareness, and non-lethal weapons to evade and temporarily scare off predators rather than defeat them. Stealth and observation are central, with players needing to study dinosaur movement patterns and behaviour to survive. The deeper Saskia explores, the more useful items she finds, but also the greater the dangers she faces, creating a tense, escalating cat-and-mouse loop across the abandoned facility.
