Summary
Jaw Drop Games has shown off its impressive array of dinosaurs for the upcoming survival-horror gameDeathground. This is the latest dinosaur glimpse for the title, which previously revealed that it would feature more scientifically accurate feathered dinosaurs rather than the more purely reptilian types seen in other media like theJurassic Parkmovies or theDino Crisisgames of the ’90s and 2000s.While some may argue that the idea of a “six-foot turkey” may not seem intimidating, the studio is setting out to convince players otherwise.
Having previously provided atmospheric looks at some of the dinosaurs players will be desperately trying to escape through cinematic teasers, gameplay footage, and development videos,Jaw Drop Games' latest YouTube video shows the best look at all of the prehistoric beasts yet, along with the sound design for each dinosaur.
As shown in the video, which seems to go in size order, the dinosaurs ofDeathgroundare as follows:

Deathground’s Dinosaurs Could Be Even More Intimidating Than Jurassic Park’s
With More Accurate Depictions Of Raptors
TheJurassic Parkmovies took creative liberties with the Velociraptor name, as while raptors were known to work as packs due to their size, the real Velociraptors were much smaller and were, in fact, closer to the size of a turkey. The ones depicted in the movie, however, were closer in scale to Deinonychus.Utahraptors are arguably more intimidating than either, as they are even larger than Deinonychus, and are sure to be a terrifying presence inDeathground, with previous videos showing an intense chase from the pack hunters.
While this is the best look at the Allosaurus and Compsogathus' depictions to date, the Tyrannosaurus Rex has been present since the early days of the game’s marketing when it was still looking for crowdfunding back in 2020.The T-Rex in that early footagecertainly seemed to resemble that of the one inJurassic Park- affectionately named Rexy by fans - with its brown color palette, but the new look shows the studio has made some changes with the towering carnivore now having more gray and red to its design, along with additional spikes, and a roar that is sure to terrify players as they desperately look to escape in the game.
While there is still no release date forDeathground, it is currently available to wishlist on Steam, and Jaw Drop Games has been actively providing its community with new looks at levels and gameplay.The game will see players assuming one of three roles in either co-op or single-playerthat consist of either the Survivalist, who plays a more defensive role; the more strategic and stealth-based Scout, who can help maneuver around the dinosaurs, avoiding them entirely, and the Engineer, who uses their technical knowledge and equipment to manipulate the environment, creating escape routes and offering a variety of different ways to explore the dino-infested facility.
