How Jurassic World Evolution 3 Is Taking Park Management To The Next Level

by

The *Jurassic World Evolution* games have always strived to be more than just dinosaur parks where you wait for things to go wrong. While previous games were good, *Jurassic World Evolution 3* seems poised to truly capture the magic of the original *Jurassic Park* vision. The developers, Frontier Developments – known for popular management games like *Planet Zoo* and *Planet Coaster* – have taken player feedback to heart. The result is a sequel that’s looking to be the most detailed, engaging, and strategically rich entry in the series yet, and could be one of the biggest game releases of 2025.

Unlike previous games where you simply built bigger cages for more dinosaurs, *Jurassic World Evolution 3* focuses on the complex side of park management. While features like detailed landscape shaping, more customizable habitats, and dinosaur breeding are exciting, what really stands out is how well they’re integrated into the gameplay. You’ll need to manage everything like a true park manager – keeping your dinosaurs healthy, guests safe, staff productive, and the park profitable. Every choice you make matters, from the plants you choose for an enclosure to how you raise a baby raptor’s unique personality, proving that *Evolution 3* offers much more than just new features to play with.

Frontier, the team behind *Planet Zoo*, understands players enjoy creating parks that truly feel like their own. That’s why *Evolution 3* is focusing on a significantly improved building system, letting players be more creative than ever before. The game will feature new tools for shaping land, detailed scenery options, and modular building pieces. Players can customize every little detail, or use pre-made structures and blueprints – and even share creations with the community through workshop integration – for faster building.

Players who enjoy taking their time will find a lot of creative freedom in this game. You can build structures on a grid, use scenery that grows as you need it, and place objects that change based on the environment. The game’s terraforming tools, shown in trailers, let you dramatically reshape the land – dig out valleys, build mountains, and create rivers, lakes, and waterfalls. This allows you to design diverse habitats for your dinosaurs, like rolling hills, swamps, rocky areas, or deserts.

Building enclosures feels totally different now! It’s not just about plopping down a fenced-in area anymore. I can actually *shape* the land to create the perfect home for my dinos. Like, I can build lush, grassy fields for the plant-eaters to wander around in, or even make swampy areas for the amphibians to chill. But it’s not just about what looks good or what’s practical, I really need to think about what makes my dinos happy and healthy. Everything matters – how the land is shaped, what plants I use, where the water is, even what they can *see* from different spots. So designing habitats – and the whole park, really – is a balancing act. I need to make it look amazing for guests, but also make sure it’s a good life for the dinos, and that means understanding what they actually *need*.

Okay, so the dinosaur breeding in *Evolution 3* is a really big deal, and honestly, it’s what I’ve been waiting for as a longtime fan! It’s not just about throwing dinos together and hoping for babies though – it’s actually pretty complex. You can release adult dinosaurs into their habitats, but raising the little ones is way more involved than just keeping them fed. It’s all about managing each species’ needs and deciding whether you want a more natural breeding process or if you want scientists to take the lead. You’ve got to find good nesting spots, make sure the parents and babies bond, and avoid overcrowding the enclosures. There’s a lot to think about, but it sounds super rewarding!

Young dinosaurs inherit characteristics from their parents, both positive and negative. This adds a personal touch to each new generation. Players should be able to see how their choices about genetics and environment affect dinosaurs over time. There’s also a possibility of long-term consequences – if breeding programs aren’t managed well, dinosaur populations could become stressed or experience genetic issues that impact future generations.

With the new creative tools coming in *Evo 3*, it looks like adding baby dinosaurs that roam the park will make it even more popular. While you’ll still need to satisfy conservationists and shareholders during the campaign, the game might also let you design special nursery areas where guests can see the hatchlings up close, or build viewing platforms to watch the young dinosaurs play.

The ability to customize and breed dinosaurs will make each player’s park feel uniquely its own, filled with memorable successes, setbacks, and the potential for exciting dinosaur breakouts. Frontier, the game developer, is known for turning unexpected problems into fun experiences, and they’ve added new tools to let players watch the chaos firsthand. Players can now use an automated maintenance team, complete with a camera network, to handle repairs and power outages. Alternatively, they can take control themselves with an all-terrain vehicle, personally fixing issues or even tracking down and tranquilizing escaped dinosaurs.

Jurassic World Evolution 3 offers players more control than ever before, letting them choose how involved they want to be – from simply observing their park to actively managing every detail, or finding a balance in between. This is a significant step forward for dinosaur park management games, and could be what the *Jurassic World Evolution* series needs to become more than just a licensed game. It also addresses the problems with *Evolution 2* by incorporating the detailed planning and long-term strategy that made *Planet Zoo* so successful. If players can now manage their parks with the same depth as Frontier’s other titles, *Jurassic World Evolution* could finally deliver the dinosaur park simulation fans have been waiting for.

This game is much more than just a larger version of previous titles. Players will shape the dinosaur population over generations, creating parks filled with both realistic species and the iconic, movie-style hybrids – making each playthrough feel unique and special. Even the troublesome human saboteurs, a familiar element from past games, might not be so disruptive this time around. Frontier is committed to keeping this challenging aspect of park management, as it’s a core part of the series’ identity.

It’s important to acknowledge the incredible work Frontier’s team has done on the dinosaurs in *Evolution 3*. They look and act more realistically than in any previous game. By studying prehistoric research and actual fossils, the artists and animators successfully combined scientific accuracy with the creative style of *Jurassic World* to create dinosaurs that truly feel alive. The team went beyond just how the dinosaurs look – considering things like their social interactions, how they move as a herd, and how young dinosaurs grow up within the group.

The team also found inspiration in the natural world. To make the dinosaurs’ movements realistic, animators studied how young and different-sized animals move, interact, and develop. They drew from the way rhinos, elephants, dogs, cattle, and even Malaysian porcupines move to create the dinosaurs’ motions. Players should find moments like watching a baby raptor learn to walk or a young Psittacosaurus playfully swat its sibling particularly memorable.

Just a heads-up – everything I’m about to say is my own opinion as a gamer. GamingBolt isn’t necessarily agreeing with everything I’m saying here, so don’t think of this as their official stance, okay?
