The movie is being directed by Colin Trevorro and he joins Rise of the Planet of the Apes' Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver to work on the Jurassic World script.
The new title tallies with rumours that the fourth instalment would see John Hammond's dream of a fully functional Jurassic Park finally reaching fruition, with tens of thousands of visitors arriving each year on the island of Isla Nublar. Trevorrow, however, recently shot down suggestions that the film would feature tame dinosaurs performing for humans.
Jurassic Park IV has been significantly delayed, with the franchise languishing in development hell for more than a decade. One famously barmy abandoned script was due to eschew the format of the first three films in favour of a story centring on hyper-smart dino-human hybrids with guns who are created to rid a dinosaur-infested north America of the giant reptile menace. Concept art for the canned film, which would have been written by The Departed's William Monahan and Lone Star's John Sayles, emerged in October last year.
Safety Not Guaranteed director Trevorrow takes the reins from Captain America's Joe Johnston, who directed the last instalment, Jurassic Park III, in 2001. Steven Spielberg, who directed 1993's Jurassic Park and 1997's The Lost World: Jurassic Park, will once again be an executive producer.
The film series based on Michael Crichton's novels about prehistoric beasts brought back to life through gene technology is one of Hollywood's longest-running sagas, with more than $1.9bn at the global box office thus far.
