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. It's been an amazing time since announcement earlier this year, and we want to say thank you everyone for coming on this journey with us. We can't wait to see everything you create and share.

Jurassic World Evolution 2 Coming 2021
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!

Jurassic World Evolution: Return to Jurassic Park Coming 10 December
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!
[previewyoutube="ly8hhZDOOPY;full"]
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).
