Jurassic World Evolution: Return To Jurassic Park

Return To Jurassic Park takes Jurassic World Evolution back to where the story began. Set on Isla Nublar in the aftermath of the 1993 film, this expansion hands you the ruined park John Hammond left behind and asks you to do what he could not: reclaim it from the dinosaurs, rebuild its most beloved locations and finally open the gates to the public. Dr. Alan Grant, Dr. Ellie Sattler and Dr. Ian Malcolm guide you the whole way, voiced by Sam Neill, Laura Dern and Jeff Goldblum in an original storyline written for the pack.

An Original Story Voiced by the Film Cast

The campaign picks up after the events of the film, with Isla Nublar overrun and the park's infrastructure in pieces. Across a series of new story missions you clear the island, restore power and containment, and work your way toward an opening day the original park never reached. Grant, Sattler and Malcolm each bring their own perspective to the effort, and hearing the three of them debate whether any of this is a good idea gives the expansion a warmth and wit that sets it apart from the base campaign.

Frontier's park-management systems are all still in play. Fences need power, dinosaurs need the right enclosures and companions, and guests need somewhere to eat, shop and take shelter when a storm rolls in or a Velociraptor finds a gap in the perimeter. Return To Jurassic Park layers its story on top of that foundation rather than replacing it, so everything you learned in the base game carries straight over. This is an expansion pack, and it requires the base Jurassic World Evolution game to play.

Rebuild the Park You Remember

The Main Gates The towering wooden gates from the film are the centerpiece of the pack. Raising them is a milestone in the story and a statement piece for any park, framing the moment your guests first pass through into Jurassic Park. The Jurassic Park Tour Send guests along a tour route past the paddocks, the attraction most people picture when they think of the original film. It works as a proper ride in your park, complete with the risk that something large decides to take an interest. Classic Buildings and Legacy Skins A set of buildings inspired by the film lets you dress the island in its 1993 look, and legacy skin variants restore your favorite species to the way they appeared on screen, from the Tyrannosaurus rex to the Velociraptor.

Two New Dinosaurs

• The Compsognathus is the smallest animal in the game and one of the most mischievous. These little scavengers move in groups, slip through spaces larger dinosaurs never could and are far more of a handful than their size suggests.
• The Pteranodon is the first flying reptile to join the Jurassic World Evolution roster, and it changes how you think about containment. A fence that keeps a Triceratops in place means nothing to an animal that can simply go over the top of it.

Every Level in 1993 Style

Beyond the new campaign, the pack adds a 1993-inspired overlay and inventory to every existing challenge and sandbox level in Jurassic World Evolution. Familiar islands take on the look and feel of the original film, and parks you built long ago get a retro makeover without needing to be started from scratch. It is an easy way to revisit the whole game through a different lens, and it gives sandbox builders a fresh reason to open up their old saves.

The island is waiting, the gates are down and the dinosaurs have had the run of the place for long enough. Bring Jurassic Park back to life, and this time, make sure it opens.
