Following the events of the iconic 1993 film, you are invited to return to the island where it all started.

• Secrets of Dr. Wu

Face your toughest challenge yet! Hidden within Las Cinco Muertes is an intriguing new storyline featuring campaign missions from Dr. Henry Wu, who remains dedicated to his research with hybrid dinosaurs.

• Herbivore Dinosaur Pack

The Jurassic World Evolution: Herbivore Dinosaur Pack adds sociable plant eaters that are a great addition to any vibrant park.

• Carnivore Dinosaur Pack

• Cretaceous Dinosaur Pack

Expand your dinosaur collection in Jurassic World Evolution with a selection of impressive creatures from the Cretaceous period. Jurassic World Evolution: Cretaceous Dinosaur Pack introduces 3 remarkable specimens, each with a distinct set of behaviors and needs.

Here’s a trailer, some details, and some screenshots for the game:

Take charge of operations on the legendary islands of The Cinco Muertes Archipelago and bring the wonder, majesty and danger of dinosaurs to life. Build for science, entertainment or security interests in an uncertain world where life always finds a way.

Bioengineer over 60 dinosaurs that think, feel and react intelligently to the world around them. Play with life itself to give your dinosaurs unique behaviours, traits and appearances, then contain and profit from them to fund your global search for lost dinosaur DNA.

Control the big picture with deep management tools or go hands-on to confront challenges on the ground or in the air. Expand your islands and choose your own journey in an captivating narrative featuring iconic characters from across the film franchise and decades of Jurassic World lore at your fingertips.

Based on Universal Pictures and Amblin Entertainment’s blockbuster film franchise and created in collaboration with Universal Games and Digital Platforms, the game expands on official Jurassic World film lore and puts players in charge of one of cinema’s greatest tourist destinations.

Players can immerse themselves in every aspect of their very own Jurassic World as they take control of operations on the legendary Isla Nublar and the surrounding islands of the Muertes Archipelago. With the fate of the park at their fingertips, players can construct attractions, as well as containment and research facilities as they bioengineer new dinosaur species that think, feel and intelligently react to their environments.

Guided by key characters from the films, including Dr. Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum), Dr. Alan Grant (Sam Neill), Dr. Ellie Sattler (Laura Dern), Claire Dearing (Bryce Dallas Howard), and Dr. Henry Wu (BD Wong), players can put their building and management skills to the test. With multiple ways to play, players can choose whether to control the big picture with deep, accessible management options or go hands-on to confront challenges on the ground or in the air in action-based gameplay. Every choice leads to a different path and spectacular challenges arise when “life finds a way.”
