Frontier anticipates a development cycle for the Game of approximately two years, with development expected to commence later in calendar year 2019. The licence agreement entitles Frontier to develop and publish the Game, together with subsequent associated paid downloadable content, worldwide on both PC and console.

"We are delighted to confirm that one of our future releases will benefit from a major global IP licence.  We are excited about our existing franchises and our future portfolio.  We will continue to love, support and enhance our existing game franchises as we build new ones." said Frontier Chief Executive David Braben.

Frontier's first self-published licenced title, Jurassic World Evolution, released in June 2018 on PC, PS4 and Xbox One alongside the theatrical release of Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom.  Jurassic World Evolution is Frontier's biggest launch to date, achieving 1 million base game unit sales in five weeks and 2 million base game units in seven months.
