This is a dramatic increase over its 2018 predecessor, which had less than half of that many species when it first launched. The base version of the original Jurassic World Evolution had just 37 prehistoric creatures in its roster (plus five extras for the deluxe edition).
Having said that, this count was later supplemented with expansion packs that brought the total up to 67. As such, a lot of the dinosaurs that are featured in the newly-released sequel might be familiar to veteran theme park managers, but there are still some fresh additions.
Most notably, the game introduces aerial pterosaurs and marine assets (both of which were conspicuously absent from the previous installment), alongside a few more terrestrial reptiles.
The microscopic variations between some of the species here will probably go unappreciated by a lot of players, as it’s often just a case of them having slightly longer snouts or a different number of horns. For instance, most of the sauropods look basically the same, other than them maybe having more vertical necks or shorter limbs.
With that said, don’t expect every single dinosaur in the Jurassic World Evolution 2 bestiary to be completely unique, although there are definitely some one-of-a-kind attractions.
