Prehistoric Kingdom is a park-management indie game inspired by previous titles in the genre such as Zoo Tycoon 2: Extinct Animals and Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis. It is being developed by Blue Meridian and will let players build their own park with dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals. The game is currently in war access, with a full release coming at an unknown date.
Players can manage their park and explore unique animal concepts fueled by both modern science and speculative ideas. The animals' behaviors will be more akin to that of modern animals, unlike most other dinosaur games.

Fan-favorites such as Tyrannosaurus, Triceratops, Velociraptor, and Gallimimus will just be a small sample of the many animals to be included in the game.
Three modes in the game will be present: Challenge, Campaign, and Sandbox mode. Theses modes will include the additional ranger mode.[1]
Nigel Marven voices the games tutorial and provides information about the Prehistoric Animals.
Gameplay[]
Players have the ability to place a variety of animals in enclosures. Enclosures are typically made using different types of fences but can also be created using the game’s modular building system. To create an animal, players must build an expedition building and collect fossils from the geological formation the animal was discovered in. Once enough fossils have been found, the animal can be created using an animal nursery. Once placed, players can add to the enclosures biome to make it more habitable, Eight biomes exist in the game; Boreal, Costal, Arid, Grassland, Scrubland, Tropical, Temperate, and Wetland. To maintain an animal’s health, players must place feeder and water in the enclosure. Some animals are two small to be placed in regular enclosures, and instead are placed in a mini exhibit, a large cage with a tree to climb on.
Along with caring for the animals, players must also care for guests. This is done by placing Amenities and Restrooms. These can be placed using the games built in modular prefabs, or by building one using the modular building set. Once constructed, players can hire staff to work at the Amenities and refill feeders in enclosures.
