Jurassic World Evolution 2 launches on PC and Console in November

Frontier Developments plc has announced  the much-anticipated dinosaur park management simulation, Jurassic World Evolution 2 will be launching on November 9 across PC, PlayStation5, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation4 and Xbox One. Following the roaring success of Jurassic World Evolution, the stunning sequel offers players an original Campaign mode, expanded construction options, more customisation choices and the all-new Chaos Theory mode in which they can play through ’what if’ scenarios from all five films in the Jurassic World franchise from Universal Pictures and Amblin Entertainment.

Players looking to expand their experience can discover even more with the digitally exclusive Jurassic World Evolution 2: Deluxe Edition. Aside from the base game, players will receive three exclusive vehicle skins inspired by the Dinosaur Protection Group, six guest building amenity signs, and five additional awe-inspiring prehistoric species to add to their Challenge and Sandbox mode parks, including land dinosaurs, as well as marine and flying reptiles.

Additionally, from today, players everywhere can pre-order the game from the JWE2 website,  Xbox (Standard,  Xbox (Deluxe),  PlayStation (Standard) , PlayStation (Deluxe), Steam and receive a trio of exciting in-game rewards to use when Jurassic World Evolution 2 releases. Inspired by the thrilling 1997 Jurassic Park sequel, The Lost World: Jurassic Park, the game lets players pay homage to John Hammond’s bioengineering company in Challenge and Sandbox modes with three vehicle skins bearing the iconic jungle-green InGen livery.

No longer contained to the Muertes Islands, Jurassic World Evolution 2 unfolds across distinct environments ranging from dense forests and rocky deserts to sun-drenched tropics, each with its own unique terrain and environmental challenges. In Campaign mode, players can immerse themselves in an original Jurassic World story following the events of Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. With the help of Claire Dearing (voiced by Bryce Dallas Howard) and Dr. Ian Malcolm (voiced by Jeff Goldblum), players will help lead the efforts of the DFW (Department of Fish and Wildlife) across the continental U.S. establishing new facilities across a range of locations in order to control, conserve and contain wild dinosaurs.

 

Another standout addition to Jurassic World Evolution 2 is the all-new Chaos Theory mode. Here, players can revisit pivotal moments from the Jurassic World film franchise and add their own mark in a range of ‘what if’ scenarios. Whether realising John Hammond’s dream of an operational Jurassic Park, showcasing a T. rex in the San Diego Amphitheatre, or building and running their own Jurassic World with the support of iconic characters such as Dr. Henry Wu (voiced by BD Wong), players can experience events from their favourite films like never before as they find themselves at the helm of managing new challenges and altering outcomes.

For those looking to unleash their creativity, Sandbox mode offers players all the tools they need to create their ultimate Jurassic Park or Jurassic World dinosaur park. Challenge mode allows players to truly test their management skills in a range of different missions with escalating difficulty, attempting to achieve the best park rating in the shortest amount of time.

Jurassic World Evolution 2 features more than 75 breathtaking prehistoric species to discover, including highly requested flying and marine reptiles, and returning community-favourite dinosaurs. These majestic species feel more alive than ever as they preside over territory and display brand-new behaviours when interacting with each other, fighting for dominance and reacting intelligently to the world around them. Through bioengineering, players can customise their dinosaurs with bold new colours and patterns and alter their genomes to discover new traits to unlock as they endeavour to create the ultimate dinosaur park destination.

Jurassic World Evolution 2 launches on November 9 on PC, PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation®4 and Xbox One for a suggested retail price of £49.99/$59.99/€59.99 for the standard version and £59.99/$69.99/€69.99 for the Digital Deluxe Edition. It will also be available in physical format for PlayStation5, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation4 and Xbox One for a suggested retail price of £49.99/$59.99/€59.99.

Travel back in time with AR dinosaurs in Search. #AR #Google3D #JurassicWorld

Dinosaurs may have ruled the Earth millions of years ago, but with augmented reality (AR), you can turn your home into “Jurassic World.” Google are partnering with Universal Brand Development, Amblin Entertainment and Ludia to bring 10 dinosaurs from the franchise film “Jurassic World” to Google Search. Watch the massive T. Rex stomp in your living room or gaze up at a majestic Brachiosaurus as it towers above a neighborhood tree.

 

Search for a dinosaur on Google using a mobile device and tap “View in 3D” to rotate or zoom in and see it up close. You can then bring the dinosaur into your space with AR and adjust its size to understand how big it is in relation to the things around you. On Android devices, turn up your volume to hear the thudding footsteps and roars of each dinosaur.

 

“Jurassic World” dinosaurs that are viewable in AR include: Tyrannosaurus Rex, Velociraptor, Triceratops, Spinosaurus, Stegosaurus, Brachiosaurus, Ankylosaurus, Dilophosaurus, Pteranodon, and Parasaurolophus.

 

A behind-the-scenes look at how “Jurassic World” AR dinosaurs are made

Using technology from Ludia’s “Jurassic World Alive” game, these AR dinosaurs are some of the most realistic models out there. Check out this video to see how an AR Brachiosaurus is made, including 3D modeling, texturing and animation.

“To create the 3D dinosaurs, our concept artists first did preliminary research to discover information about each creature,” says Camilo Sanin, Ludia’s Lead on Character Creations. “Not only did we draw research from various forms of literature, our artists also worked with paleontologists and the ‘Jurassic World’ team to make the assets as accurate and realistic as possible. Even the smallest of details, such as irregularities of skin color and patterns, are important.” 

 

Unlike some of Google’s AR animals, like a dog or tiger, dinosaurs pose a new technical challenge: their massive size. The new auto-scale feature on Android can now automatically calculate the distance between your phone and a surface in your space and resize the dinosaur so it fits on your phone screen. If you tap “View actual size,” AR tracking technology automatically repositions the dinosaur in your space to make room for it.

How to access and share

On Android, search for “dinosaur” or one of the 10 dinosaurs on the Google app or any Android browser and tap “View in 3D.” You can see 3D content on devices with Android 7 Plus and you can see AR content on ARCore-enabled devices. Easily explore all dinosaurs using the carousel format.

On iOS, search for “dinosaur” or one of the 10 dinosaurs on the Google app or on Google.com with Chrome or Safari. 3D and AR content is available on iOS 11 Plus devices.

You can also create AR videos—or recreate your favorite scenes from the “Jurassic World” movies—with the recording option. Don’t forget to tag your photos and videos on social with #Google3D and #JurassicWorld. Safe traveling (back in time)!
