Steven Spielberg's Jurassic Park was a blockbuster hit that spawned a franchise which continues to this day. Its latest iteration brought back fan-favorite character Dr. Ian Malcom for the 2018 film Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, and actor Jeff Goldblum appeared in Jurassic World Evolution to coincide with that movie. Come November 3, fans of the series will be able to build their own parks on the go with Jurassic World Evolution: Complete Edition on Nintendo Switch.
The complete edition of this Rollercoaster Tycoon-esque business management game was announced during the Gamescom 2020 Opening Night Live pre-show this morning, and can be pre-purchased through the Switch eShop now. Jurassic World Evolution, which debuted at Gamescom 2017, allows players to "bring the wonder, majesty, and danger of dinosaurs to life" for scientific, entertainment, or security interests, according to its official website.
On top of being able to build a park, players can bioengineer over 60 dinosaurs with unique behaviors, traits, and appearances, and then use those creatures to fund further research projects. The complete edition of Jurassic World Evolution will include four expansions: The Herbivore Dinosaur Pack, Carnivore Dinosaur Pack, Cretaceous Dinosaur Pack, and DLC Deluxe Dinosaur Pack.
The idea of being able to play with dinosaurs is undoubtedly appealing, and has been the crux of numerous games beyond Frontier Developments' park simulator. Earlier this month, Mojang's sandbox building game Minecraft added Jurassic World DLC that also lets players craft their own iconic dinosaurs.
Jurassic World Evolution: Complete Edition will release on Switch November 3, 2020.
