Jurassic World Evolution puts players in charge of cinema’s greatest tourist destination – where they will have the opportunity to construct and manage their own Jurassic World

Jurassic World Evolution is a business simulation game that allows the player to construct a Jurassic World dinosaur theme park with attractions and research facilities. Essential buildings and facilities featured in the game include the Expedition center, which sends paleontologists to fossil dig sites so as to obtain dinosaurs DNA content. DNA sequencing unlocks new dinosaurs and updates their statistics, such as lifespan and resilience. With sufficient DNA content, players can use the Hammond Research Center to breed and incubate the dinosaurs. Players can also improve the gene of the dinosaurs and evolve them by integrating the DNA of modern species into these dinosaurs gene to fill their gaps. These modifications to dinosaurs’ DNA will change the dinosaurs base statistics, from their level of aggressiveness to their appearance. The game features a terrain tool which allows players to modify the environment, such as planting trees and creating water sources.

Dinosaurs are the game’s main attractions. The game features approximately 40 dinosaur species at launch. Players need to build enclosures to contain dinosaurs for visitors’ viewing. The needs of different dinosaurs, such as the type of food they eat and the extent of the social interactions they require, must be met to keep them healthy and satisfied. Dinosaurs, controlled by artificial intelligence, will interact with each other and with the environment. For instance, carnivores will attack other carnivores of a different species, and carnivores will hunt down herbivores. Players also need to construct various entertainment rides, as well as amenities such as restaurants and shops to please the guests. An example of tourist attraction is the Gyrosphere and the monorail from Jurassic World. Players can also use the game’s photo mode to take pictures of dinosaurs, which also help the park to earn money and publicity. As the construction and expansion of the park, and the incubation of dinosaurs require a large sum of money, entertainment branch is the main source of the park’s income. Each entertainment facilities and amenities come with their own management system, with players being able to set and adjust entry fees as well as the amount of staff present in each facility.

There are various emergency situations that may happen in the park, including power failures, unpredictable weather, and dinosaur breakouts, which must be addressed by players in order to ensure guests’ safety and happiness. Players can build an ACU Center and a Ranger Station, which are responsible for maintaining the park’s security, sedating escaped dinosaurs, medicating sick dinosaurs, transporting dinosaurs, fixing fences, and more. Players can also control vehicles such as helicopters and 4×4 trucks to complete certain tasks. Players can also play as the enclosure maintenance staff from a first-person perspective. Emergency shelters to protect the guests, as well as other security structures like power network redundancies and storm warning centers, can be built. Many of these security facilities can be upgraded to strengthen their efficiency when dealing with emergencies.

Gameplay modes

In the career mode, the player’s ultimate goal is to develop five-star parks across the fictional islands of the Las Cinco Muertes Archipelago. Dr. Ian Malcolm assists the player through the game, and players will meet other key figures representing three branches of the park’s development: Entertainment, Security, and Science. Each of these characters will push their agenda at the players, trying to convince players to develop the park in accordance to their advice. They give players “contracts” to complete, which are a series of goals and objectives. These contracts add narrative to the game, as well as rewards and reputation in their respective domains. Players are recommended to keep a close eye on their reputation with each division. If the player’s reputation with a division gets too low, that division will create a sabotage in the player’s park that they’ll need to attend to immediately. For instance, they could poison some of the player’s dinosaurs, therefore creating an outbreak of sickness. These divisions all feed into the parks’ ratings. The five islands, each with different characteristics and challenges, will gradually unlock with sufficient park ratings.

Isla Nublar – the island featured in Jurassic Park, Jurassic World, and Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom – is the setting for a sandbox mode that is separate from the game’s career mode. The sandbox mode is unlocked once a 4-star park rating is achieved on Isla Matanceros, the starting island. Once this is accomplished, everything the player has unlocked in career mode, such as building upgrades and dinosaurs, will transfer over to the sandbox, and anything locked in career will remain locked in the sandbox. In the sandbox mode, players have unlimited funds, and they can also set the weather and time of day of their parks.
