If you’ve ever wanted to run your very own dinosaur-centric theme park, then Jurassic World Evolution 2 is likely the game for you. Yes, Frontier Developments’ build-’em-up sim came out earlier this month for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PC, and to commemorate its release, the UK-based studio has launched a brand new accolades trailer.
Feel free to check what the critics are saying about Jurassic World Evolution 2 in the new video below:
Sitting pretty with a ‘Generally Favorable’ critical rating of 80 on Metacritic (from 20 PS5 reviews), Jurassic World Evolution 2 has clearly resonated fairly well with critics.
Of course, Jurassic World Evolution 2 has built upon the groundwork laid before it by its 2018 predecessor. Chiefly, the game has added plenty of new modes and extra content compared to its forebear.
Not only is there a Campaign mode that features an original Jurassic Park story and boasts voice acting from the original iconic cast, like Jeff Goldblum and Bryce Dallas Howard.
But there’s also a Chaos Theory mode that offers lots of “What If?” scenarios from various films within the franchise.
Rounding out the package is Sandbox, which is a building-centric mode that gives players the opportunity to get super creative. And lastly, there’s a Challenge mode that tests players’ “park-building skills.”
Add in new dinosaurs, new guests, improved AI and improved weather effects, and you have a meaty title to get your razor-sharp dino teeth into.
For more information about the game, here’s a general overview courtesy of Jurassic Park Evolution’s official Steam page:
Jurassic World Evolution 2 is the much-anticipated sequel to Frontier’s ground-breaking 2018 management simulation, Jurassic World Evolution, offering an all new narrative campaign voiced by cast members from across the Jurassic World film franchise, exciting new features, four engaging game modes, and an expanded roster of awe-inspiring dinosaurs.
Learn what it takes to be a park management master in Campaign mode, a compelling, original narrative that puts you at the heart of the action following the earth-shattering events of Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. Work alongside iconic characters from the films, including Dr. Ian Malcolm (voiced by Jeff Goldblum) and Claire Dearing (voiced by Bryce Dallas Howard), and lead the efforts to control, conserve, and contain wild dinosaurs now rampaging across the USA.
Take control with deeper management tools and creative options. Construct a range of customisable new buildings and hire new Scientists, and shape your park to meet the needs of both your guests and dinosaurs. Unleash your creativity in Sandbox mode, or test your skills in Challenge mode as you deal with diverse locations and environmental calamities.
Play through key moments of your favourite films – with a twist. Experience ‘what-if’ scenarios from iconic Jurassic World and Jurassic Park films, each level set across eras and locations from all five movies. Dive into the Jurassic World franchise and see how events unfold when you take control.
Over 75 different prehistoric species come to life in Jurassic World Evolution 2, including highly requested flying and marine reptiles. These animals feel more alive than ever as they preside over territory, fight for dominance, and react intelligently to the world around them. Use bioengineering to customise dinosaurs with bold new colours, and alter their genomes to unlock traits.
