Annapurna Interactive will be the publisher of Great Ape Games’ game, which was announced quite early, considering when The Lost Wild is scheduled for release.

Annapurna and Great Ape are currently planning The Lost Wild for PC only, but there may eventually be some console port, as the game is at least a year and a half away from release. Here’s the publisher’s overview of the game: “A first-person survival horror adventure, The Lost Wild is an immersive and cinematic dinosaur game that captures the reverence and terror of nature’s most magnificent beasts.

Come face-to-face with dinosaurs that behave like wild animals, not monsters. Explore a prehistoric wilderness where you’re squarely in the centre of the food chain. Keep your head down, stay alert, and evade. If all else fails, run or try to intimidate using non-lethal weaponry, resulting in intense cat and mouse-style gameplay. Discover abandoned facilities nestled in a lush wilderness teeming with prehistoric life. Scavenge and acquire valuable items to improve your chances of survival, but become subject to ever-increasing dangers the deeper you explore. Unravel the mystery at the heart of the island.

Move stealthily and elude predators hunting you down. Create distractions and use your environment to your advantage. Use items you’ve discovered to give yourself options in each encounter. Outmanoeuvre, distract, run, and if all else fails, hide. Hold your ground, and don’t let them sense your fear. Temporarily scare off deadly predators using a combination of fire and non-lethal weaponry. Dinosaurs in The Lost Wild are curious and adaptive by nature but may retreat when startled or intimidated. Carefully observe their behaviour, and you may find a way to overcome them. You are stranded in a violent primal world. Your survival depends on mastering its rhythms and anticipating its dangers. A mysterious voice on the radio seems to offer a glimmer of hope. With their help, make your way through the facilities and piece together the story of how this came to be.”

The Lost Wild is coming to PC in 2024 (Steam).
