The latest installment in the Jurassic World Evolution series is coming to console and PC sometime this year. 15ĭinosaurs may not be roaming alongside humans (which is a good thing, considering how deadly some of them were) but it doesn't make them any less "animal" than their lizard - err chicken counterparts. Because of this, the following list has been updated to better include some of the upcoming releases that feature animals center-stage. A lot of titles were announced that feature furry friends as the main protagonists, include animals as the main subject matter, or feature beastly companions in some capacity. The second half of the year features some unique and interesting surprises, especially on the subject of games for animal lovers. Some big-name developers burst onto the scene with some impressive-looking AAA titles but some of the best moments from the yearly expo featured a first look at Indie games currently in development. Updated June 18th, 2021, by Russ Boswell: Now that E3 2021 has come and gone, players have a much better idea of what to expect in 2021. However, developers are constantly seeking ways to expand on the genre. As conventions like Gamescom and PAX shift to online productions, there are plenty of newly released and upcoming games for every type of animal lover in the works.

Simulations, survival, role-play, and platforming games are just a few categories where animal lovers can find their next favorite game.
