Hello Park Managers,

We're excited to announce that the Jurassic World Evolution 2: Park Managers’ Collection Pack is out now on all platforms!

What's included...

Welcome these four incredible species, and a new T. rex skin...

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Alongside the Jurassic World Evolution 2: Park Managers’ Collection Pack we've also released Free Update 10!

This free update contains bug fixes and some new decorations for your park! Read the full changelog.

We hope you enjoy the new pack and free update, and we look forward to seeing what you do with your park!

Hello Park Managers!

Prepare to unleash four new bioengineered hybrid dinosaurs into your parks with the Secret Species Pack, coming to Jurassic World Evolution 2 on 13 March!

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.

Get ready to welcome these extraordinary hybrids into your parks:

Spinoceratops:
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:
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:
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:
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.

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!



The Secret Species Pack is available on Wednesday 13 March! Don't forget to wishlist on Steam here

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'.

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[forums.frontier.co.uk], 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[www.twitch.tv] and YouTube channels.

The Jurassic World Evolution 2: Cretaceous Predator Pack launches 30 November. 

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.

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.

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!

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!

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:

Soon you'll be able to change the time of day and weather while in Capture Mode.
