Celebrate 30 Years of ‘Jurassic Park’ With the ‘Jurassic Park Classic Games Collection’ From Limited Run Games [Trailer]
Seeing as it’s the 30th anniversary of Steven Spielberg‘s iconic Jurassic Park this year, Limited Run Games has once again dipped into the nostalgia pool in a collaboration with Universal Games and Digital Platforms for the new Jurassic Park Classic Games Collection.
The collection packages together the NES, Game Boy and SNES versions of Ocean Software’s Jurassic Park and the SNES and Game Boy versions of Jurassic Park 2: The Chaos Continues for a digital and physical release on the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 & Xbox One.
Not only that, but Limited Run Games will also be reissuing Jurassic Park and Jurassic Park 2: The Chaos Continues on NES, Game Boy and SNES cartridges with amber-coloured shells, and with a series of premium Collector’s Editions that feature light-up cartridges, numbered slipcovers, and a collectible set of posters.
And no, before anyone asks, the Jurassic Park Classic Games Collection will not include the Sega Genesis version of Jurassic Park. That was developed by BlueSky Software and published by Sega (sorry, folks).
The Jurassic Park Classic Games Collection pre-orders will go live on September 1, and last until October 15. And as you’d expect, this collection will also be getting its own set of extra goodies:

Bloody Body Horror Revealed in ‘Stellar Blade: Blood Rain’, Currently in Development [Trailer]
Shift Up has shifted things dramatically from 2024’s action-adventure game Stellar Blade, offering up a body horror bonanza in the newly announced sequel, Stellar Blade: Blood Rain. The sequel is currently early in development, but if the trailer is any indication, players will be in for plenty of body horror.
Continuing the story from the original Stellar Blade, Blood Rain will star a new protagonist named Eve. Earth has been abandoned, and what is left of humanity has fled to a Colony in outer space.
Shift Up had mentioned during a Q&A following its latest earnings presentation last month that development on Blood Rain (which was still unannounced at the time) was progressing smoothly, and was on track to meet their targeted quality standards.
Shift Up stated that with this new title it would be transitioning to a first-party service model, effectively moving away from the restrictions the game experienced with original publisher Sony, which had the game under an exclusivity agreement for the PlayStation 5. “This will allow us to lead marketing strategies that fully reflect the distinctive identity of the Stellar Blade IP, and we expect to communicate the unique appeal of its universe to players more directly and effectively.”
Whether this means that Xbox Players will finally be able to play the original game (or its sequel) is still not clear. Meanwhile, Stellar Blade is reportedly being ported to the Nintendo Switch 2, but no official confirmation has been made.
