Cambridge, UK – May 27, 2022 Frontier Developments plc (AIM: FDEV), in collaboration with Universal Games and Digital Platforms, announced today Jurassic World Evolution 2: Dominion Biosyn Expansion, launching on 14 June on PC via Steam, Epic Games Store and Windows Store, PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation®4 and Xbox One for a suggested retail price of £15.99/$19.99/€19.99.

Jurassic World Evolution 2: Dominion Biosyn Expansion invites park managers to immerse themselves in the game’s biggest DLC to date, inspired by the epic events of Universal Pictures and Amblin Entertainment’s highly anticipated film Jurassic World Dominion, releasing in theatres worldwide on 10 June.

Joining a cast of much-loved characters such as Claire Dearing (voiced by Bryce Dallas Howard), Dr. Alan Grant (voiced by Sam Neill) and Dr. Ellie Sattler (voiced by Laura Dern), players will work alongside Lewis Dodgson (voiced by Campbell Scott), now head of Biosyn Genetics, in a compelling new campaign that sees them tasked with constructing a new Research Compound in multiple stages. Using a brand-new feature, players will dig deep into amber mines and unearth rare genomes to create feathered prehistoric species never before seen in a Jurassic World Evolution game.

In addition to amber mining, Jurassic World Evolution 2: Dominion Biosyn Expansion brings even more features to the game. Invisible fences provide an innovative solution to contain and control inhabitants, while a fast transport system allows players to efficiently move staff around their parks.

Alongside a thrilling campaign narrative, players can experience a gripping new ‘what if’ scenario within Chaos Theory mode, inspired by events from Jurassic World Dominion. Set in a stunning Sierra Nevada environment featuring majestic pine forests, snowy hills, and sweeping plains, players must rise to the challenge of building their very own facility to house dinosaurs and ensure their safety.

An array of mesmerising new prehistoric species will also make their way into the game for the very first time as part of the Expansion, including two incredible feathered dinosaurs: Therizinosaurus, a fiercely territorial foliage-grazer with magnificent plumage and intimidating curved claws; and the Pyroraptor, an intelligent pack-hunter, so-named after the first fossils were uncovered by a forest fire.

Joining these fascinating new species are the ancient carnivore Dimetrodon, which became extinct before dinosaurs first appeared, and Quetzalcoatlus, one of the largest flying animals of all time. Defined by a gigantic wingspan and long, sharp beak, this is an apex predator.

Jurassic World Evolution 2: Dominion Biosyn Expansion also includes a range of new dinosaur variants and skins authentic to Jurassic World Dominion, including the striking feathered and scarred Tyrannosaurus rex, remarkable new skins for Dilophosaurus and Parasaurolophus, as well as variants for the immense Dreadnoughtus and formidable Giganotosaurus.

The PDLC launches together with a free update offering existing players a range of new features. New dinosaur-wrangling mechanics allow players to corral herds of dinosaurs quickly without needing to tranquilise and transport them. Players can also enjoy the ability to play Chaos Theory maps as Challenge mode levels, dinosaur transport enhancements, and more.
