Earlier today, The Hollywood Reporter magazine has announced the early development of a new Jurassic film.
www.hollywoodreporter.com
The only definitive information about it in the article are that is now in development in regard to the script, with various Jurassic movie producers on the team, even those as far as the original 1993 film. A possible release date is as early as 2025, next year.
The journalist who published the article goes into more speculative stuff such as being officially part of a "new era" as "sources say". This I assume was what Jurassic producer Frank Marshal said as early as May 22, 2020, which he later reiterated on January 21, 2022.

It should be noted, as plenty of people got this wrong, including the THR journalist who published the news, is what Marshal said in both listed articles above is not actual confirmation to say "Yes, there will be more movies in the future, so expect it", but merely what his own thoughts and opinions were. What he said can be changed over time, especially in the past few years between then and now. But it doesn't matter anymore, because it's confirmed officially and definitively there is more in general.
But what this film will be is not known, other than being, what the reporter in the THR article says it will be called "Jurassic World" in this particular context. It could still be "Jurassic World" by name, rather than a "new trilogy name" if you know what I mean by that.
Like, maybe it's a spin-off or standalone that is still set in the overall JW trilogy, set either before, between, or after any or all of that trilogy's movies. Trevorrow did express the idea of some Dominion debuted characters to be in future movies in late 2022, by the way. Maybe it's a backstory of either Kayla or Soyona, or it will have a cast of entirely new characters and no returning ones? I'll be surprised if it's a new main entry, which I don't think so because Jurassic World was always intended to be a trilogy, not a quadrilogy or beyond, and I don't think they will change the "trilogy" status anytime into anything else higher than that.
Also, this is probably not a "reboot". This is a common mistake online journalists, who share what other articles officially published by other journalists, make. A "reboot" is when all continuity of an established series is discarded and restarted completely to form a new continuity for that respective series with recreated pre-existing characters, plot lines, etc. While the article does say "relaunch", the context usage here is unclear, but I strongly doubt this will be a "reboot" in the nature of what a "reboot" actually is.
Another thing the THR article says is maybe the cast from the trilogies won't be returning, which I can agree on because of these articles below from December 5, 2020, and May 31, 2022, respectively. Members of the two trilogy hero casts have expressed no interest in future movies because they feel that Dominion is the conclusion for their characters and journeys. That doesn't mean they won't ever reprise their roles at all in any way, shape or form, but it shows they have no interest in reprising their major roles in potential future big blockbuster Jurassic films unless something changes, as I've seen with Ghostbusters for example.

Jurassic World Dominion Ends The Trilogy, But There Could Be More Jurassic Movies To Come [Exclusive] - SlashFilm
We spoke with producer Frank Marshall about where the series goes after the next movie hits theaters.
