It has been known for some time now that Jurassic World Evolution 3 is coming. In a new gamescom trailer presented at the FYNG-Show, the developers present a new feature that you should be cautious about.
What is Jurassic World Evolution 3? The new simulation game is the sequel to the previous Evolution titles and picks up directly from them. You build your own park and manage the dinosaurs and other aspects of the park. The game promotes itself on Steam with the following features:
- Over 80 dinosaurs and other prehistoric species.
- New tools to design your park, such as terrain editing and landscape adjustments.
- You can download community designs in the Steam Workshop.
- A campaign in which you interact with Dr. Ian Malcolm (voiced by Jeff Goldblum or in German by Martin Umbach).
Within the FYNG-Show at gamescom, the developers present a new feature in the game that is like a surprise egg for dinos when you buy from the wrong vendor.
The dinosaur marketplace is fast but not always safe
What is the marketplace? The marketplace will be a new trading platform in the game, filled with vendors and dinos. You can buy the dinos there, and they will be delivered directly to your park. In the market itself, you trade with in-game currency.
There, you will see various dinosaurs and vendors offering different prices. With “Likes,” you can see how popular the vendor is, and you are shown how good the price is. However, a good price does not necessarily mean you hit the jackpot.
If you buy from a dubious vendor, one with a bad rating or a strange name, it might happen that you receive a wrong dino that might just trample your safety fence.
You do not have direct access to the marketplace; you can only use it once you have developed your park a bit.
If you prefer a “more natural” way of acquiring dinos, for the first time in the series you will have the chance to get dino offspring through the right animals and enclosures. This will also be a gameplay element since traits can be inherited.
When does Jurassic World Evolution 3 come out? You won’t have to wait long, as the game is set to be released on Steam, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S on October 21, 2025. Until then, you might entertain yourself with this game: Building game on Steam plays like Anno, but you lead a Cthulhu cult, has 85% positive reviews, and is currently cheaper than ever.
