Hello everyone!
We’re pleased to announce that our free Update 1.6 is now live!
Jump in to an expanded challenge mode, now available across all campaign locations (including Secrets of Dr. Wu if you own the DLC). If you prefer a more relaxed playstyle, check out the all new Sandbox options for Isla Nublar including: Disable failed incubations, toggle dinosaur aggression, stop social and population requirements for dinosaurs, and much more!

In addition to Update 1.6, we’re excited to announce the Jurassic World Evolution: Cretaceous Dinosaur Pack. Featuring three brand new, highly requested dinosaur species from the Cretaceous period: the Iguanodon, the Carcharodontosaurus, and the Dreadnoughtus. These impressive creatures are sure to wow your park guests, while providing you with some fresh new challenges; with more dinosaurs comes more chaos, so prepare yourself for the potential carnage they may create!
The Cretaceous Dinosaur Pack is available NOW on Steam and is completely optional to purchase.
We’re very thankful for your continued support.
