That 71 average hides a game its 127 fans would defend to the death. A strategy game for the planners — science fiction as the backdrop, outthinking as the game. One player, no compromises. This was built for the solo run.

About this game

Take charge of operations on the legendary islands of the Muertes archipelago and bring the wonder, majesty and danger of dinosaurs to life. Build for Science, Entertainment or Security interests in an uncertain world where life always finds a way. Jurassic World Evolution is a new chapter in the official Jurassic mythology that puts you in charge of cinema’s most famous tourist destination. Bioengineer dinosaurs that think, feel and react intelligently to the world around them. Play with life itself to give your dinosaurs unique behaviors, traits and appearances, then contain and profit from them to fund your global search for lost dinosaur DNA. Control the big picture with deep management tools or go hands-on to confront challenges on the ground or in the air. Expand your islands and choose your own journey in an all-new narrative featuring iconic characters from across the franchise and decades of Jurassic lore at your fingertips.

Set within the world of the Jurassic World films, the game places the player in command of an ambitious dinosaur theme park operation spread across the five tropical islands of the Las Cinco Muertes Archipelago. Starting from the ground up, the player must construct attractions and research facilities, dispatch paleontologists to fossil dig sites to recover ancient DNA, and use that genetic material to sequence, breed, and even genetically modify living dinosaurs. Bringing these prehistoric creatures back to life is only half the challenge, however. The player must satisfy three competing divisions, Entertainment, Security, and Science, each vying for influence and offering contracts that shape the park's direction. Balancing awe-inspiring spectacle against the ever-present danger of powerful, unpredictable animals, the player strives to build a thriving five-star park while keeping catastrophe at bay.
