Press release:
San Diego, CA September 29, 2020 — Publisher, Crytivo alongside the development team, Blue Meridian are today very excited to announce that their extinct animals-themed theme park sim “Prehistoric Kingdom” is coming to Steam Early Access in Q2 2021.
Furthermore, Crytivo and Meridian are also happy to announce that they have just released their early access announcement trailer for “Prehistoric Kingdom” as well, which features never before seen footage with voice over by famed zoologist, Nigel Marven.
Besides being known for the many nature shows Nigel has hosted, he also starred in the 2002 Chased by Dinosaurs documentary. Prehistoric Kingdom is a game that takes pride in their representation of the natural world so when Nigel Marven agreed to voice over the trailer the team was over the moon.
“It was pretty surreal, as a long-time fan, working with Nigel was an amazing opportunity,” says Creative Director, Maurizio Morosan.
Members of Blue Meridian will also be doing a live stream September 30th at 10am PDT on twitch.tv/crytivo to chat with fans and answer questions about what’s to come.
