The brand-new Jurassic World Evolution 2 Cretaceous Predator pack has arrived - and we’ve had the opportunity to get hands on with the new DLC today courtesy of the team at Frontier Developments!
The new DLC introduces four creatures - the Tarbosaurus from Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous Hidden Adventure, alongside the Concavenator, Gigantoraptor and Utahraptor. As the name suggests, these are all carnivores from the Cretaceous period of Earth’s prehistoric past.
Having spent some time playing with the pack today, I really love the new dinosaurs which have been added to the game. Utahraptor and Gigantoraptor are personal highlights as I love the physics present for feathers on dinosaurs within JWE2 - and particularly, how the light in different sandboxes really pops on these animals.
I also love the Tarbosaurus for it’s unique behaviours and the cool skin reminiscent of how the animal appears in Camp Cretaceous, and have to admit that the Concavenator is a welcome inclusion capturing the iconic hump-back aesthetic of the Spanish dinosaur which we have all wanted added for some time.
I haven’t had the opportunity to hatch the brand-new dinosaur skins present in the game yet, but I have had the opportunity to play around with the brand new inclusions to Capture Mode as you will see throughout this article and am really excited about the possibility of changing weather within the camera. Being able to change it not just for stills, but for video footage adds so much possibility.
I also dabbled a little with the new scenery elements and whilst these aren’t in my screenshots, there are some decent variations of benches and bins, alongside some new fountains and a handful of new banners. They are nice inclusions which add even more possibility to our parks, so I am sure they will be popular with people who enjoy placing huge levels of details into their builds.
Huge thanks to the team at Frontier for sending over a code to allow me to check out this pack. You can check out my cinematic video on it, using video from Daryl Leigh Lynn, below:
