Ever since a misspent youth playing Turok and watching Jurassic Park, I’ve been a sucker for dinosaur-themed entertainment.

Fortunately, it seems that my love of Apple, mobile gaming, and prehistoric monster reptiles may soon converge in one glorious app, as dinosaur-themed survival MMORPG Durango is set to stalk its way into the App Store. Check out the trailer below.

Set to be demoed at next week’s E3 event, Durango promises a massive open-world sandbox game, in which players will be able to band together with other players to create communities for fending off carnivorous dinosaur attacks.

It sounds crazily ambitious — with not just impressive graphics and a dino-battling physics engine, but also the ability to develop tools, build fortresses, forage meals, tame and ride dinosaurs, and do a whole lot more.

Will it be as impossibly awesome as that makes it sound? We’ll have to wait until after E3 for the reviews to trickle in, but if Durango can deliver on its promises it might turn out to be one of the best mobile games of 2017. No release date has yet been announced, but we’ll watching this one very closely indeed.
