Generations of Dinosaurs

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40704806/3f65c832efeacf0aa78bb9896d9775b0c12a8057.jpg Jurassic World Evolution 3 pushes the boundaries of dinosaur park simulation, featuring over 80 awe-inspiring prehistoric species to raise, manage and care for. Over 70 of these species can breed and nurture their own family units, each with distinct female, male, and juvenile variants. Park guests will marvel as these majestic creatures socialise and react to the vibrant world around them, displaying new social interactions and behaviours as pterosaurs land to walk, semi-aquatic dinosaurs head into water to feed, and parents nurture their young after emerging from the nest.

Effortlessly master intuitive terrain tools to create waterfalls, mountain peaks and vast canyons, use texture brushes to add variety to lush landscapes, and precisely place scenery to craft stunning parks and new attractions down to the finest detail, as you shape the legacy of your prehistoric paradise. For the first time in the series, cross-platform sharing also lets you showcase and download parks, dinosaur enclosures, and scenery creations in a thriving global community via the Frontier Workshop.

Hello, Park Managers! Get ready to enter a world evolved: Jurassic World Evolution 2 launched last week on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and is playable via NVIDIA GeForce NOW! It is so exciting for all of us here at Frontier to be able to open the gates and have you experience everything Jurassic World Evolution 2 has to offer. Check out the amazing new trailer below, and don't forget to let us know what you think about it in the comments. Whether you're a returning veteran or entering the park management control room for the first time, there's something here for everyone! Learn what it takes to become a park management master and immerse yourself in an original Jurassic World narrative in the Campaign Mode – set after the earth shattering events at Lockwood Manor in Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom – and work alongside iconic film characters like Dr. Ian Malcolm (voiced by Jeff Goldblum) and Claire Dearing (voiced by Bryce Dallas Howard) to help lead the efforts of the Department of Fish and Wildlife (DFW) – under the supervision of Director Cabot Finch, who returns from the first game – to conserve, contain and control wild dinosaurs across the USA. You can also revisit pivotal moments from the Jurassic World and Jurassic Park films, with a twist! Chaos Theory mode lets you explore how things could have turned out differently in a series of what if-scenarios. Helping John Hammond establish the original Jurassic Park (without sabotage from Denis Nedry), or bringing Jurassic Park: San Diego's amphitheater to life with a pair of roaring T. rex are just the tip of the iceberg. This journey through the films we know and love is not to be missed by fans of the Jurassic World universe! If you want to put your management skills to the test, Challenge Mode is for you, where you work to achieve the best park rating in the shortest amount of time. Finally, you can unleash your creativity in Sandbox Mode and create the ultimate Jurassic Park or Jurassic World using themed buildings and decorations. The amazing Jurassic World Evolution 2 development team has put their heart and soul into the game to make this the ultimate Jurassic World gaming experience. Watch your dinosaurs explore and interact with their environment and each other in different and dynamic ways, but make sure they have all they need to keep them satisfied, or you may have to deal with the odd escape or two! This time around you also need to care for several new marine and flying reptiles, each with their own set of unique challenges and behaviours. For the big dinosaur fans in the community, the Deluxe Edition, a digital exclusive, gives you Jurassic World Evolution 2 in addition to some beautiful extra content that you can add to your game. You'll get 5 additional dinosaurs and prehistoric reptiles, 3 Dinosaur Protection Group Vehicle Skins, and 6 Amenities guest building signs. If you've picked up the Standard Edition, you can always upgrade to the Deluxe Edition if you want! To celebrate the launch of Jurassic World Evolution 2, you may also be able to use a new T. rex emote on Twitch for the next month, by typing JW2Roar in chat! If you still haven't picked it up yet, Jurassic World Evolution 2 is available for you to buy now by head to our website, or the console platform store of your choice. Thank you to everyone for all your support, feedback and comments, and enthusiasm for the game.

Hello Park Managers! We are incredibly excited to announce the next chapter in the Jurassic World Evolution brand: Jurassic World Evolution 2, coming to PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One, in 2021! Check out the fantastic new trailer below and don't forget to let us know your thoughts in the comments. Jurassic World Evolution 2 is a bold new era for the highly successful Jurassic World Evolution game franchise. This much anticipated sequel builds on the groundbreaking and immersive 2018 management simulation game and offers players a entirely new campaign including cast members from across the Jurassic World film franchise, along with exciting new features and four engaging game modes. There is a lot here for Park Managers to sink their teeth and claws into! It won't be a true Jurassic World game without the real stars of the show: the dinosaurs and now new prehistoric reptiles. We are enhancing and expanding the roster of dinosaurs and creatures players have access to in Jurassic World Evolution 2. More than 75 different prehistoric species come to life, from community-favourites like the T. rex, Triceratops and Stegosaurus to some highly requested creatures (including both flying and marine reptiles) waiting for you to discover. These prehistoric animals will feel more alive than ever before thanks to new animations and visual designs, giving a much greater sense of realism and authenticity than before. You will discover brand new dinosaur behaviours as these majestic creatures interact with each other, fight for dominance, and react intelligently to the world around them. The game's brand new, original Campaign Mode is set after, and builds on, the events of Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. You'll be leading efforts to control, contain and conserve dinosaurs across a range of locations alongside iconic characters from the film series, including Dr. Ian Malcolm (voiced by Jeff Goldblum) and Claire Dearing (voiced by Bryce Dallas Howard). This is the first time in the series you will get to explore environments outside the familiar Muertes Archipelago, including new desert and taiga biomes. We will have more details to share about the campaign very soon, and we can't wait to see what you think. You can also put your park management skills to the test in Challenge Mode, or let your creativity run wild in the Sandbox Mode. Finally, there's Chaos Theory, a new game mode where players revisit and explore pivotal moments from the Jurassic World and Jurassic Park franchise as "what-if" scenarios, with each level set across eras and locations from all five films. Maybe this time you will be able to make things turn out differently? Veteran players should feel right at home, but will also find plenty of new things to enjoy! Let your creativity run wild with enhanced customisation of park buildings – and more to come – to create the Park of your dreams. Deeper management systems allow you to take greater control of your parks by deploying and managing new teams. We will have more to reveal about the game's customisation and management systems in the future, and there's a lot to look forward to! What you've seen today is just a small taste of what we have to share from Jurassic World Evolution 2, and we are incredibly excited to share more with you in the coming months. What are you looking forward to seeing more of? New dinosaurs? New gameplay systems and mechanics? Sound off in the comments below, and don't forget to follow us on our social channels – Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and YouTube – and you'll never miss an update!

Hi everyone, Are you ready to embark on a brand new adventure? Go back in time to 1993 where the dinosaurs have taken over Isla Nublar, and reclaim the islands in order to rebuild Hammond's vision for the greatest attraction on earth, Jurassic Park! Jurassic World Evolution: Return to Jurassic Park allows you to revisit some of the iconic islands from the film in an all new, captivating storyline delivered by the original cast. Join Dr. Ian Malcolm, Dr. Alan Grant and Dr. Ellie Sattler, as you return, reclaim and rebuild the beloved locations of Isla Nublar and Isla Sorna, and open the gates of Jurassic Park to the public for the first time in history. Complete with a whole range of new buildings like the Visitor Centre and Aviary, as well as a plethora of classic dinosaur skins including the 93' T. rex and Velociraptor, this exciting new expansion is sure to bring back fond memories for any Jurassic Park Fan; especially with two new highly anticipated dinosaurs coming as well: Compsognathus These dinosaurs lived in the Late Jurassic in what is now Europe. Weighing between 0.83 and 3.5kg, Compsognathus would have relied on its quick reactions and high speed and manoeuvrability in order to catch its prey, which - unlike other dinosaurs - is well known due to fossil evidence of small lizards found in the stomachs of both known specimens. Pteranodon A genus of late Cretaceous pterosaur, flying reptiles that - while not dinosaurs themselves - share the clade Avemetatarsalia with dinosaurs. The name is derived from Greek meaning "wing without tooth". With wingspans over 7 metres, these reptiles would have been extremely light and delicate in order to be able to fly. Alongside this hugely exciting content pack is a brand new free update with some features that have been highly requested from the community! We'll be sharing more information about both the free update and Jurassic World Evolution: Return to Jurassic Park every week until the launch. So keep an eye out on all of our social channels, and buckle up for an awesome few weeks! Jurassic World Evolution: Return to Jurassic Park is coming 10 December on Steam, for £15.99/€19.99/$19.99 (prices may vary depending on region, you will need to own the base game to play the new content).

"Okay, here's the plan: this is Sanctuary. It's a paradise built to sustain multiple species. Our job is to secure as many dinosaurs from Isla Nublar as we can.

Place new rocks, trees and shrubs in your dinosaur habitats or change their terrain from grass to dirt or sand on some islands! Read more about it right here. Spinosaurid Care Spinosaurids are receiving some refinement for their care with the addition of a wetland need to represent their swamp and coastal environments, as well as new fish feeders! They'll prefer to eat fish over standard meat or goats, so do add these into their homes to ensure they're content in their environment. Read more about it here. Gyrosphere Improvements Players have often told us they'd like to be able to build gyrosphere tracks to have one big tour of their park. We've made some changes to allow gyrospheres to pass through enclosure fences by adding automatic gates, so now you can wow your guests with a park wide tour of all of your exhibits!

Hello everyone, With just a few more weeks left in the year, we're happy to announce another new update is coming to Jurassic World Evolution on 13 December! https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/26299579/3449b9b2bff62bb0d3b97b80eeee16b7449a56b1.jpg Update 1.6 will be the latest free update to hit the islands, with a slew of new sandbox options, additional maps added to challenge mode, and more. Challenge Mode Additions We've expanded challenge mode to include all of the islands, including the locations in Secrets of Dr. Wu if you own the DLC; that's 7 new challenges that await you! You'll need to think smart, manage your money (and dinosaurs), and act fast in order to secure the all new Challenge Mode dinosaur skins. Do you have what it takes to try Jurassic difficulty? One of the features you have been asking for is more sandbox options to give more of an unlimited feel to the sandbox experience, and that's exactly why we've added the ability to adjust the following options:

• Dinosaur aggression, stop them fighting, make them fight more, plus some more specific options so you can play how you want to play.
• Disable failed incubations, so you'll always have a 100% success rating when incubating your dinosaurs.
• Toggle to disable specific requirements for dinosaurs such as population, social and habitat; now you won't need to worry about your Ankylosaurus needing some alone time!
• Charge the Hammond Foundation fee. Just in case you want to add a little more challenge to your sandbox.

These new features will be accompanied by a host of smaller tweaks and fixes designed to make your playing experience even more smooth and enjoyable. We'll have more information available when the update goes live on 13 December, but in the meantime tune in to our weekly livestreams on www.twitch.tv/frontierdevelopments to hang out and chat to us about all things Jurassic World Evolution! See you on the islands!

Hello everyone, It's that time of the year again, where it's all about giving, sharing, and celebrating. And of course we wouldn't have it any other way then to celebrate this time with you... Frontier's 24 Hour Charity Stream! On 17 December, 2018 (midday UTC), Frontier will be starting our fourth annual Charity livestream to raise money for SpecialEffect, a wonderful charity which helps people with physical disabilities use technology and play videogames. It's a charity we are all incredibly passionate about, and last year we raised over £58,000 together with you all - we can't wait to reach more milestones this year and have 24 hours full of fun activities for you to enjoy. We will be hosting several activities in the weeks to come as well as during the 24 hour stream, which will end on 18 December, midday UTC. Charity Auction This year we've got another exciting Charity Auction lined up for you; this Auction features unique prizes that you can bid on, like two special Elite Dangerous paintjobs, signed props from our Jeff Goldblum interview earlier this year, or a unique Planet Coaster cushion set (and loads more, don't worry!). We will post separately about all the prizes you can bid on in the coming week. All of the money from the Charity Auction goes to our Just Giving page for SpecialEffect, and you will receive your amazing prize (if you are the highest bidder) after the Charity stream. Charity Sweepstake The Charity Sweepstake is the final hour of the livestream (so 11AM UTC on 18 December) and it's the hour during which we give out loads of amazing prizes to our wonderful community. For every £1 you donate to our Just Giving campaign between now and 18 December 11 AM UTC, you get 1 entry into the prize draw (so if you donate £10, you get 10 entries, and so forth).

So do keep supporting the cause during the stream as much as you can, and help us reach our target goal of £30,000! Streaming Schedule We've also enlisted the help of some fabulous community content creators to help us raise as much money as possible. During the 24 hours, we have a separate streaming schedule where you can always find someone playing the game or doing charity challenges with their communities. We will post the full roster as soon as possible. Thank you as always for the incredible and valuable support during the past year; from the launch of Jurassic World Evolution to the community meet-ups and the countless game updates, it means the world to us to have you by our side. We hope you're excited to join our cause and our celebration, and remember that it's all going towards SpecialEffect. Every little bit makes a huge difference in someone else's life.
