Travel to the Mediterranean to join a cast of iconic characters and never-before seen prehistoric species in a rich and immersive campaign

Cambridge, UK – 29 November, 2022 Frontier Developments plc (AIM: FDEV), in collaboration with Universal Games and Digital Platforms, announced today Jurassic World Evolution 2: Dominion Malta Expansion, a new DLC pack launching on 8th December 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.

Set before the epic events of Universal Pictures and Amblin Entertainment’s blockbuster film – Jurassic World Dominion – the Jurassic World Evolution 2: Dominion Malta Expansion tasks players with helping to lead a brand-new enterprise in Malta. Working alongside Cabot Finch and a star-studded cast of characters, including Kayla Watts (voiced by DeWanda Wise), Soyona Santos (voiced by Dichen Lachman), Barry Sembène (voiced by Omar Sy), and Lewis Dodgson (voiced by Campbell Scott), players will set up parks across three stunning Mediterranean locations.

With the Authorities and the Underground both taking a keen interest in the operation, which organisation players choose to align with will unlock further research and opportunities such as hatchery upgrades, additional locations, and more. Players can switch between each island to manage their dinosaur facilities and use new features such as the cargo ship to transport species between them. The all-new Dinosaur Exchange will also allow players to acquire more species, eggs, and even genomes, in order to create and grow a profitable network of parks.

Players can ensure their facilities stand out thanks to a range of film-inspired buildings including the new Acquisition Centre, while new vehicle skins and decorations will add a fresh Mediterranean look to players’ parks. Three new islands, one of which boasts a natural lagoon, allow park managers to craft spectacular enclosures for their prehistoric inhabitants.

In addition to a thrilling campaign narrative and an all-new building set, an array of fascinating prehistoric species will also make their way into the game for the very first time. The savage Atrociraptor lives up to its namesake with its expert hunting skills, while the omnivorous Oviraptor boasts a powerful jaw and distinctive head crest.

These mesmerising new species arrive alongside the diminutive Moros Intrepidus, one of the smallest Tyrannosauroids to ever have existed, and the squat Lystrosaurus, whose short tusks help it to feed on surrounding flora.
Jurassic World Evolution 2: Dominion Malta Expansion also boasts a range of dinosaur variants and skins authentic to Jurassic World Dominion, including the formidable Allosaurus and the soaring Dimorphodon, as well as a film-inspired scarred skin for the striking Carnotaurus.

The DLC launches together with a free update offering existing players a range of new features, including attacking and eating behaviours for smaller species, a selection of new skin and pattern colours for select dinosaur variants, and a range of quality of life enhancements. Five DFW Campaign levels will now be available to play as challenge mode maps. Alongside this new content, PC players can benefit from NVIDIA DLSS 3 support, offering greater performance and more responsive gameplay through NVIDIA Reflex for those playing on NVIDIA GeForce RTX GPUs.
