Jurassic World was officially added to Stuntman: Hollywood during Xbox's August 27 Gamescom broadcast. Saber Interactive is developing the licensed collaboration with Universal Products & Experiences.
It joins a roster already containing Fast & Furious, Back to the Future, Knight Rider, Miami Vice and Death Race.
The player is not replacing a film character
The reveal trailer still draws heavily from familiar Jurassic World imagery. A motorcycle races beside raptors through a forest, while another sequence uses volcanic destruction strongly reminiscent of Fallen Kingdom.
The important shift is who the player represents. This is not Owen Grady surviving another dinosaur crisis. It is a stunt performer trying to execute the shot the fictional production needs.
Jurassic World therefore becomes a piece of filmmaking machinery rather than a world the game has to reproduce literally.
The films become raw material for increasingly absurd takes
Saber describes massive set pieces, hazardous terrain and unpredictable obstacles, with both cars and motorcycles used across the Jurassic World material.
The game is also comfortable going beyond direct recreation. Its trailer includes a motorcycle backflip over the open jaws of a Tyrannosaurus.
That exaggeration fits Stuntman's central fantasy better than strict fidelity would. The player is trying to make spectacular cinema, not preserve every shot from the original movie.
The real adaptation is the stunt profession
Each mission functions as a take. A director calls for specific drifts, jumps, collisions and near misses, while optional stunts allow the player to add extra spectacle between mandatory beats.
Movies are divided into individual episodes with different vehicles, pacing and objectives. Star ratings turn successful takes into career progression.
That structure allows licensed vehicles such as K.I.T.T. or the Back to the Future Time Machine to serve a gameplay role instead of existing only as references.
Universal does not need to invent a crossover story
The format is also unusually convenient for a company with so many recognizable franchises. Fast & Furious never has to explain why its characters suddenly share continuity with Jurassic World or Knight Rider.
They are separate productions inside the same fictional Hollywood career. The stunt performer is the only connective tissue the game actually needs.
Stuntman: Hollywood is in development for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC, with no release window announced.
Jurassic World is therefore being used less like a traditional adaptation and more like a set. For this particular series, that may be the more interesting way to borrow it.
