There have been rumours afoot for a few weeks that our next DLC for Frontier Development’s Jurassic World Evolution 2 would be around the corner – and those rumours are now confirmed with the announcement of the brand-new Cretaceous Predator Pack!
This pack will be available in Jurassic World Evolution 2 on November the 30th, and brings four new animals to the roster – the Gigantoraptor, Utahraptor, Concavenator and Tarbosaurus – the latter taking inspiration direct from its appearance in Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous: Hidden Adventure.
It’s awesome getting the Concavenator and Tarbosaurus in the game at long last – and I love how the Gigantoraptor and Utahraptor both grow the menagerie of feathered animals which we have present within the game.
That’s not all, however! As we have come to expect with any new pack addition to the game, this update will also come with an accompanying Free Update – Free Update 8! This pack adds a ton of quality-of-life features to the game – but arguably more exciting is the addition of five new dinosaur variants to the game.
Inspired by films directly in the Jurassic Universe, we have a new 2022 variant for the Allosaurus, a new 2022 variant for Dimorphodon (curious to see how this one differs to the DLC version), a new 2001 variant for the Pteranodon, a new 2001 variant for the Brachiosaurus, and lastly but by no means least – a 1997 variant for the Stegosaurus.
Alongside new dinosaur variants come a slew of new features added to the game. These include (but are not limited to):
New Decorations in the form of bins, benches, plant pots, fountains and more.
Capture Mode additions allowing you to change the weather and time of day in-camera without affecting your world.
New pre-built layouts on sandbox maps – something I think will be ideal for quick capture mode sessions.
Additional features such as Species Unlock Shuffling, new Chase Behaviours and Automated Hatcheries.
A full forum post will be shared on the Jurassic World Evolution social media channels – and we highly recommend you give it a read!
This new update adds some fan requested dinosaurs, and equally, some fan requested features in the form of the new decorations which are being added here. It’s fantastic to see that Frontier continue to listen to the community, and make additions based on direct feedback. Bench and Bin fans rejoice – you have been listened to!
Both the free update, and the paid Cretaceous Predator Pack will release on November 30th. Will you be picking the DLC up and playing the new update? Let us know in the comments below!
Huge thanks to Frontier Developments for entrusting us with access to content ahead of time to bring you this coverage. This would not be possible without their support.
