MEGALODON

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40704806/cc52a3f7a30ea3422f9157e8eb954c29abda1bd6.jpg The Megalodon is an apex predator that ruled the oceans for over thirteen million years. With a bite five times stronger than that of a T. rex, this colossal hunter is the largest shark ever discovered and the true meaning of ferocity.

MICROCERATUS

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40704806/504b51d2ca9b653950c252596a922ffb15f4f8fb.jpg Hailing from the Late Cretaceous period, this small ceratopsid has a distinctive frill and moves with agility and speed to avoid predators. With a name meaning ‘Small-horned’, this fascinating little herbivore likes to live in larger groups of their own species.

SEGISAURUS

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40704806/9ba138649f61c14c184534caf63364b0a1f7faa8.jpg Scurrying through the sands of the Early Jurassic Period, Segisaurus is a small therapod with long arms and powerful legs for its size. Less fearsome than its larger brethren, it relies on speed and cunning to hunt its prey.

THANATOSDRAKON

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40704806/5c43b5eca2164ba3adc015d70ef45a7667ee06d3.jpg This aptly named ‘dragon of death’ ruled over the prehistoric skies of South America during the Late Cretaceous period. With an enormous wingspan of approximately 30 ft, this giant Pterosaur was an aerial force to be reckoned with.

LITTLE EATIE T. REX SKIN

Customise your T. rex with a new skin variant based on Little Eatie, the T. rex from season four of Universal Pictures, Amblin Entertainment, and DreamWorks Animation’s hit series on Netflix, Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous.

These genetically modified additions are more detailed than ever before, giving your guests a unique and memorable experience as they gaze upon these magnificent new species, including fan-favourite bioluminescent variations to make nighttime an enchanting experience.

New Dinosaurs

Get ready to welcome these extraordinary hybrids into your parks: Spinoceratops: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40704806/bce040e3ac9bcce15f5e0b8ebe010a276e19e52d.jpg A mighty hybrid combined from Sinoceratops and Spinosaurus DNA. First introduced in season four of the hit series, Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous, this species is instantly recognisable from its impressive fin to its imposing horn. However, DNA analysis indicates that Spinoceratops is a predominantly peaceful species. Stegoceratops: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40704806/f7941eaee8b559dd72b90b70010d51809466a9ce.jpg First glimpsed in the movie Jurassic World on Dr. Wu’s computer, the Stegoceratops combines the might of the Triceratops with the spine defences of the mighty Stegosaurus. Its intimidating horns coupled with its spiked tail, neck, and back make this armoured species a formidable challenge for predators, should they wish to take the risk of challenging it. Ankylodocus: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40704806/b8f1abf0be96ce443dc700b359a2b7829f825a35.jpg Ankylodocus, the largest bioengineered species, boasts sharp spikes on its back and a clubbed tail making this gentle giant a thundering presence in any park. Spinoraptor: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40704806/c42706a168d67419a74c7060be7020f9dd078cc4.jpg This predator possesses the cunning and ferociousness of its parent species: the Velociraptor and Spinosaurus. As a social creature the Spinoraptor is happiest when with others of it's own species.

Bioluminescent Skins

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40704806/718162a7edf982ec6905e5a6ef2d542b91378656.jpg New nighttime bioluminescent skins are coming for the four new hybrids as well as for the Indominus Rex and the Indoraptor! These skins will bring your parks to life when the sun goes down, allowing you some hint to where the more dangerous dinosaurs might be lurking in the bushes!

Welcome back, Park Managers, to our latest Species Field Guide. In this series, we discuss some of the fascinating prehistoric species you're able to care for in Jurassic World Evolution 2, including both familiar faces and some new ones, and we're really excited to be able to continue sharing and highlighting them! Today, we'll be taking a closer look at one of the formidable predators coming your way in the Jurassic World Evolution 2: Cretaceous Predator Pack - Gigantoraptor. With an impressive coat of feathers and large, elongated legs, Gigantoraptor is sure to be an intimidating presence in your parks. Initially discovered in Inner Mongolia in 2005, it is the largest discovered Oviraptorosaur in existence; we're sure you can see why it's name means 'Giant Thief'. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40704806/6624e814c3491572a28b90540b4c0ad6ec394b63.jpg Don't let the fact that Gigantoraptor's bottom jaws were thought to be toothless fool you - with a fierce beak common in most Oviraptorosaurs, and powerful legs intended to allow it to build and maintain speed over prolonged periods, its prey stood no chance.  Despite its foreboding size, Gigantoraptors will need some company in your enclosures, so be sure to have a few of its own kind in the same space - you don't want to see unhappy Gigantoraptors in your parks!  We hope you enjoyed this introduction to Gigantoraptor, and we're looking forward to seeing how you incorporate them into your parks. Find out more about what's coming in the Jurassic World Evolution 2: Cretaceous Predator Pack & Free Update 8 here, and don't forget to wishlist the Jurassic World Evolution 2: Cretaceous Predator Pack here!  If you're curious what Gigantoraptor might look like in your parks, you can also take a closer look in our Cretaceous Predator Pack & Free Update 8 Preview Livestream on 29 November at 4pm GMT on our Twitch and YouTube channels.

Hello again, Park Managers! We are incredibly excited to announce the latest dinosaur pack coming to Jurassic World Evolution 2 on 30 November, the Cretaceous Predator Pack. Give your park guests the experience of a lifetime with four new unique Cretaceous species, all of them powerful prehistoric reptiles in their own rights. They will undoubtedly be fantastic additions to your parks. Let's take a closer look at what's coming in the Jurassic World Evolution 2: Cretaceous Predator Pack. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40704806/673f59ede0fded3bf08759dccb36631bbd8feef3.jpg Gigantoraptor The Gigantoraptor is the largest known Oviraptorosaur and was first discovered in Inner Mongolia in 2005. Its large stature can be quite intimidating, and a fully grown Gigantoraptor could weigh as much as two metric tons in body mass. The elongation of its legs meant it was adapted to run or maintain speed for an extensive amount of time, making it a dinosaur that could be difficult to flee from. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40704806/1104e9ca2aaccf6e870c73472d7b46c39172ba0b.jpg Utahraptor This carnivore is the epitome of feathered ferocity. Undeniably stunning, but also incredibly lethal, this ruthless predator had scythe-like claws that could stop almost any victim dead in its tracks. One of the largest known raptors, the Utahraptor could grow up to 18 feet long and 4 feet tall. Now its beautiful plumage is coming to Jurassic World Evolution 2! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40704806/40957fdf22645502b8be516136b8445f69e2dc70.jpg Concavenator  This dinosaur lived approximately 130 million years ago during the Early Cretaceous period, and was originally discovered in Spain. Its name means "Cuenca hunter with a hump", stemming from the tall narrow hump on the dinosaur's back, as well as a city close to where it was first discovered. The Concavenator has a unique and instantly recognisable profile, but try not to get taken in by its unique look. It's still a highly dangerous hunter! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40704806/87df7ddba11af65ad2f71f496fe0f6905aee83af.jpg Tarbosaurus Inspired by the Universal Pictures, Amblin Entertainment and DreamWorks Animation Netflix Show, Jurassic World Camp Cretaceous: Hidden Adventure, and straight to your parks, it's Tarbosaurus, the Alarming Lizard! This Asian counterpart to the T. rex is a highly efficient hunter, measuring at approximately 10 metres long, 3 metres tall at the hips, and weighing up to 5 metric tons! You can rest assured that your guests will be absolutely awed by its awesome power. Free Update 8 We've also got a free update coming your way on 30 November! We have some incredibly exciting features coming in Update 8, which will be available to all players on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox. Let's take a look at some of the highlights below. Prebuilt layouts We know many of you love to build intricate Sandbox parks, jumping into a fresh map and treating it like a blank canvas ready to be filled with your beautiful designs. For those of you who want to start off with a little help, we have created prebuilt layouts that you can jump into when playing Sandbox Mode. These prebuilds will be available as options in Sandbox and Custom Challenge Mode. All are inspired by Campaign, Challenge and Chaos Theory levels, with existing paths, buildings, and enclosures.  You'll be able to use preset starting layouts on the following maps: ● You can find those new preset starting layouts on the following maps:  ● Isla Nublar 1993 ● San Diego ● Isla Sorna ● Isla Nublar 2015 ● Arizona ● Washington State ● Oregon ● California ● United Kingdom ● Sierra Nevada (Dominion Biosyn Expansion) ● San Albertus (Dominion Malta Expansion) ● San Marie (Dominion Malta Expansion)  ● Santaegidius (Dominion Malta Expansion)  {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40704806/738fccc1e95008b7d7d559fb184cb5fd0644e6a5.jpg New Decorations You can never have too many decorations in your Dinosaur Park! Customise your park using new bins, benches, plant pots and fountains, to name a few of the new additions. All building styles and eras will be able to use these new decorations to add that little extra to your parks. Capture Mode Changes We love seeing your gorgeous Jurassic World Evolution 2 screenshots and soon we're kicking Capture Mode up another notch with a cool new addition. Soon you'll be able to change the time of day and weather while in Capture Mode. This won't affect gameplay, so when you leave Capture Mode the weather and time of day will be immediately reverted back.

With a massive, sharpened jaw, this voracious predator is sure to catch the eye of your guests as it feeds from your Lagoon's shark feeder.  {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40704806/be5afa596d4463837ae3c6e9a8d5b4ed96757614.jpg Nothosaurus  There she glows...!

Welcome back, Park Managers, to our latest Species Field Guide! In this series, we discuss some of the fascinating dinosaurs and reptiles you're able to care for in Jurassic World Evolution 2, including both familiar faces and some new ones, and we're really excited to be able to continue sharing and highlighting them! Today, we'll be taking a look at one of the brand new species making a splash in the Jurassic World Evolution 2: Prehistoric Marine Species Pack on August 10...Archelon!  It's not hard to see why Archelon's name means 'Ruler Turtle'; in fact, Archelon remains to this day the largest turtle ever found. Initially discovered in South Dakota in 1895, Archelon is believed to have had a leathery carapace, as opposed to the hard shell most modern sea turtles possess today.  With large, strong flippers, it's thought that Archelon was an incredibly fast swimmer. Paired with its hooked beak, this made Archelon an impressive marine reptile. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40704806/a8d5b307d22a6867ff946b20fbf058e8379000bb.jpg A somewhat social species, Archelon will need a few of its own kind in its enclosure to ensure their social needs are met; you'll also need to utilise the new Lagoon Rock Platform coming in the Jurassic World Evolution 2: Prehistoric Marine Species Pack to make certain that they have an appropriate above-water resting spot.  Naturally, you'll also want to make sure that Archelon has plenty of fish to feast on if you want to keep them happy - a grumpy prehistoric turtle is the last thing you want on your hands, Park Managers!  We hope you enjoyed this introduction to Archelon, and we can't wait to see what enclosures you design for them in your parks.  Don't forget you can find out more about the Jurassic World Evolution 2: Prehistoric Marine Species Pack here, and discover the free update that's being released alongside it here.  If you want to see Archelon in action before the launch, don't forget to head to our pre-launch livestream on at 16:00 BST August 9, over on Twitch or YouTube!  Don't forget to follow us on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube and TikTok for all things Jurassic World Evolution 2!  You can find out more about purchasing Jurassic World Evolution 2 here. The Jurassic World Evolution 2: Prehistoric Marine Species Pack launches August 10, and you can add it to your wishlist here.

Hey Park Managers!  You might've seen some of our teasers over on our social channels by now, and we're sure you're hankering to see what's coming in Free Update 7...so that means it's time for our Free Update Highlight!  We've got a range of incredible additions coming your way in Update 7...shall we dive in?  {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40704806/1596e26fcf15fe9d5291384ec7dc4d77e12d09b9.jpg Custom Challenge Mode  Whether you've finished up on your Jurassic difficulty Challenges, or are wanting to see whether your friends' park management skills are up to scratch, you'll be able to enjoy a brand new challenge with Custom Challenge Mode. From selecting the map and up to 3 objectives, to customising over 40 settings so your challenge is totally unique, you'll be able to create - and share - your very own Challenges. Each Challenge you create will generate its own unique share code, so you can send it to your friends or share it on your social channels.  We'll even be sharing some of our own custom challenges from some familiar faces on our channels in the coming weeks, so keep an eye out!  {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40704806/88b6cf9ad0c381d1b6ff4cf8ba0d70b882b5b49b.jpg Lagoon Viewing Dome With the incredible new species coming to your Lagoons in the Jurassic World Evolution 2: Prehistoric Marine Species Pack, we're offering your park guests a whole new way to observe them - with the Lagoon Viewing Dome! This brand new viewing area will function much like the Remote Viewing Galleries included in our previous update, and all Remote Viewing Entrances will also now be able to snap to the edges of your Lagoons, making your guests' experience even better! Lagoon Viewing Domes will offer a whole new underwater view for your guests, allowing them to see your marine species like never before.  {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40704806/3e9d3f0e941745124c86189ac21c9c1377fb7cec.jpg Skin and Dinosaur Favouriting  As of Update 7, we'll be introducing two new features to make it easier than ever before to both manage your favourite skins and variations, and keep an eye on your favourite species once they're in your park.  First up, you'll now be able to mark skin and pattern colour variants as favourites in the species viewer, allowing you a way to save the variations that you prefer in a simple, easy-to-see way. When you're in the Hatchery genome editing menu, you'll then be able to choose to only randomise your favourited colour variants, allowing you even more freedom over how your species look in your park!  You'll also now be able to favourite specific dinosaurs in your parks. This will allow you to receive notifications when those dinosaurs in particular are performing interesting behaviours, as well as placing a beacon at their current location so you can easily head to them. Your favourited dinosaurs will also appear with a green highlight on your map overview, so you can always check in on them when needed.  {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40704806/3a0a2c1cbdaabd870a30c4218a45eb8d616dfa41.jpg Placeable Ampitheatre  We're not in San Diego any more...Yep, that's right! With Update 7, you'll now be able to place the Ampitheatre in your Sandbox parks, as part of the Jurassic Park building style. We know this is something that's been highly requested, so we're very much looking forward to seeing what you do with this iconic building in your parks!  {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40704806/704b5ec2905c9f5de51f83cb99c4f8dfcbd9b98d.jpg Dinosaur Guest Hostility  Want to make your prehistoric species a little more...free range? Now, with Update 7, you'll be able to! When starting a new Sandbox park, you'll be able to toggle 'Dinosaur Danger to Guests' on or off, or set it to 'Carnivores Only'. With this setting off, any prehistoric species not in enclosures won't attack or injure your guests, and your safety rating and incident prevention ratings won't be impacted, either. Nothing's safer than a dinosaur park!  Additional Sandbox Mode Settings  Dinosaur hostility isn't the only change we've got coming for Sandbox players in Update 7! You'll now be able to enjoy all maps in Sandbox Mode without having to meet their unlock requirements, so that all levels are available without requiring progression in other game modes.  You'll also find that you can now add cosmetic damage to your Sandbox buildings, without affecting gameplay. Found under the 'Demolish' menu option, you can choose to make your buildings look a little more worse-for-wear. We hope you've enjoyed this highlight covering the new free update, Park Managers! Full patch notes on all the quality of life changes, as well as bug fixes will be available on 10 August.  Keep your eyes peeled to our forums and social channels for any and all updates, and add the Jurassic World Evolution 2: Prehistoric Marine Species Pack to your Steam Wishlist here.

Thought to have lived in the Late Cretaceous Period, Archelon remains the largest turtle ever discovered. With giant flippers, Archelon was a fast swimmer, which is bound to make it a breathtaking addition for your guests! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40704806/c6fa764d3184d2a8bb3c61492ce5483a45f11020.jpg Dunkleosteus Sporting a massive, sharpened jaw, this powerful armoured fish was one of the most intimidating of its time. This voracious predator could soon be stalking your lagoons, for better or worse... {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40704806/2e1647f0807b7fc29d7a1d1cf059303974b0baba.jpg Nothosaurus  Look at those teeth!

Hello Park Managers! We're excited to announce that the Jurassic World Evolution 2: Feathered Species Pack is now available, alongside Update 6! Welcome four incredibly fascinating species to the Feathered Species Pack, that all exhibit magnificent plumage that are bound to excite your guests. You'll discover the powerful Yutyrannus, the nimble Jeholopterus, the eccentric Deinocheirus, and the Sinosauropteryx with its exquisite features. These prehistoric species will definitely make a statement when added into your park.

New Prehistoric Species 

Yutyrannus  Believed to have lived during the early Cretaceous period in what is now Liaoning Province, the Yutyrannus is striking and powerful.

Welcome back, Park Managers, to our latest Species Field Guide! In this series, we discuss some of the fascinating dinosaurs and reptiles you're able to care for in Jurassic World Evolution 2, including both familiar faces and some new ones, and we're really excited to be able to continue sharing and highlighting them! Today, we'll be looking at one of the upcoming prehistoric species joining us in the Feathered Species Pack, coming on March 30: Yutyrannus! Yutyrannus, a genus of tyrannosauroid therapod dinosaur, lived during the early Cretaceous period in what is now northeastern China, Liaoning Province. Derived from Mandarin Chinese yǔ, meaning Feather and the Latin word tyrannos, meaning tyrant, the name is certainly befitting, as it's one of the largest known feathered dinosaurs! The species name huáli is also derived from Mandarin Chinese, meaning beautiful, which notably references the beauty of the Yutyrannus' plumage.   Dominant and striking, with impressively powerful legs, the carnivorous predator was thought to be a surprisingly social species, preferring to hunt in packs.  {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40704806/e5fffc9fc14272a6f3a8996c902eb2e1f91946de.jpg Being a social species, keeping the Yutyrannus with a few of it's own kind will keep them content. Keep an eye out though, your Yutyrannus could challenge another over dominance! Make sure you place them in an enclosure with a generous amount of open space, which should also facilitate their need for additional forest coverage. Yutyrannus are natural born hunters, so they'll need live prey to pursue and feed on. Being a carnivorous species, they won't spare your guests, so make sure you have a capture team ready in case of breakouts! Caring and maintaining these new additions to your park will definitely attract guests from all corners of the world, ready to marvel at the Yutyrannus' unique plumage.  We hope you enjoyed this introduction to the distinctive Yutyrannus, we're incredibly excited to see the enclosures you build for them in-game. Will you be adding them to your parks? Don't forget to follow us on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube and TikTok for all things Jurassic World Evolution 2!  You can find out more about purchasing Jurassic World Evolution 2 here. The Feathered Species Pack launches March 30, and you can add it to your wishlist here.

Hey Park Managers! Welcome to our Update 6 Highlight where we'll be exploring what's going to be included in the upcoming free update for Jurassic World Evolution 2. This update will be free for everyone who owns the game, and will be available on March 30, alongside the launch of the Feathered Species Pack, which you can find out more about here. Let's take a closer look! Remote Viewing Galleries An exciting new addition we have in Update 6 are Remote Viewing Galleries! Introducing brand new ways to decorate your park, we've added two building attractions, the Log Viewing Gallery and the Dome Viewing Gallery. These new building pieces can be placed anywhere in an enclosure to allow your guests to get up close and personal with their favourite prehistoric species. Of course, within the safety of the gallery!  Disguising itself amongst the natural enclosure, the Log Viewing gallery is as the name suggests! As you can place these anywhere inside an enclosure, you will need to ensure they are connected to an entrance building using an underground connection. Once they are connected, your guests will be able to journey into these viewing galleries to experience up close dinosaur interactions.  {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40704806/340e78cdbed2ca6d1e055a99dd58819ee8e54ce3.jpg The dome viewing gallery, much like the log viewing gallery, will also need an underground connection to an entrance building to work as intended. This particular gallery is the perfect addition to the Aviaries. Watch your flying reptiles soar through the sky and if you are lucky, they may even perch alongside your gallery for a unique encounter. We are sure these glass domes will give your guests an entirely new perspective! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40704806/20e97813508d8ac8208bb1519593ee1d410c3516.jpg You can find both of these viewing galleries in the 'attractions' menu. We're looking forward to seeing all the ways you decide to use these new additions in your enclosures and aviaries! Cinematic Camera Mode  For those with a keen eye for photography, we've added a new Cinematic Camera Mode. We can't wait to see what you do with this new feature! The cinematic camera will allow you to transition between camera angles and viewpoints across your park to instantly snap those picture perfect views and exciting interactions between your prehistoric species. This mode will be accessed through Capture Mode and you will even be able to add existing overlays of postcards, stamps, logos, letterboxes, filters and guidelines to enhance your photos with a truly personal touch. Make sure to share your screenshots with us once you get a chance to try it out.   Zipline Variants Variants to the Zipline attraction that was first added in Update 1.5.10, on the 1st anniversary of Jurassic World Evolution 2 are also being introduced. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40704806/674d011966c6c0d95621026ad992b00aae023ba7.jpg Now you can choose between the new DFW Zipline or a Jurassic Park zipline variant to decorate your parks with! These variants will be era limited, therefore you will only be able to mix eras on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. On PlayStation 4 and Xbox One you will choose between either for your parks. Which one will you be opting for to entertain your guests? Sandbox Mode Sandbox mode is also getting a plethora of additions in update 6, let's take a look at what we've added! 6 new square levels will be available for you in Sandbox mode that are all based on the 6 different biome types in the game. Southwest USA, San Diego and California levels will also be getting 3 expanded square levels. Some more settings in sandbox are also being introduced, such as Unlimited Feeder Reserves, Income tax, Wild Capture Frequency and Decoration Foliage. If you choose to turn on the Unlimited Feeder Reserves setting, feeders will no longer need to be refilled by the ranger team, freeing up management time. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40704806/944b9c21be73d5055eb6b5a38fcbdc214f5bd424.jpg Income tax and wild capture frequency settings can both be toggled in 4 levels: none, low, medium and high, so you have full control of how much income your park generates and how often wild capture events will occur. For the wild capture frequency to be adjustable you will need to make sure 'expeditions and fossils' setting is also turned on. Lastly, the decoration Foliage setting will allow you to use foliage from all biomes or the level's specific biome as you choose, this will only be available on new generation consoles. We hope these new settings will be a rewarding addition to managing your parks in sandbox mode. Quality of Life Changes Of course we can't forget all the quality of life updates coming your way in Update 6!  No need to wait for toilets, amenities and shelters to be built over time anymore, as they will now be built instantly. We've also added the ability to place multiples of the same building without needing to enter the build menu each time, with a quick shortcut. Just use Ctrl + Left Mouse Button on keyboard and R3 on controller! Small dinosaurs are also being given more behaviours in Update 6. They will now be able to raise their heads when walking through water and even navigate through areas where they would have been blocked before. Combat for Sauropods has also been adjusted to improve the quality of their fights. They will now take damage in chunks rather than continuously and begin bleeding out once they reach 15% health. Feedback for when the bleed out state is affecting a dinosaur has also been added, so you'll be able to manage your injured dinosaurs more efficiently. To further facilitate these changes, hunting behaviours of carnivores have also seen some changes. They will now attack less frequently and may even fail a hunt depending on their individual combat stats and the defense level of the Sauropod. We've also adjusted the UI cohabitation feedback on the Therizinosaurus, Indominus rex, Velociraptor and Indoraptor to more clearly reflect their likes and dislikes, which should be a welcome change to better care for these dinosaurs.  Our console community will also be excited to hear that you can now import your PS4 player progress to the PS5 version of the game, meaning all your progress will be merged and nothing will be overwritten when being transferred over onto the PS5. The best way to do this would be to upload your PS4 save onto the PS Plus cloud and then download the saves from the cloud onto the PS5 and launch the game. Once in the main menu you should get a prompt to import the saves.  We hope you've enjoyed this highlight covering the new free update. More detailed patch notes on all the quality of life changes, as well as bug fixes will also be coming out on 30 March. Keep your eyes peeled to our forums and social channels for any and all updates, and get more information on the new Feathered Species Pack here, and add to your Steam Wishlist here.
