Hey Park Managers!

You might've seen some of our teasers over on our social channels by now, and we're sure you're hankering to see what's coming in Free Update 7 👀...so that means it's time for our Free Update Highlight!

We've got a range of incredible additions coming your way in Update 7...shall we dive in?

Custom Challenge Mode

Whether you've finished up on your Jurassic difficulty Challenges, or are wanting to see whether your friends' park management skills are up to scratch, you'll be able to enjoy a brand new challenge with Custom Challenge Mode. From selecting the map and up to 3 objectives, to customising over 40 settings so your challenge is totally unique, you'll be able to create - and share - your very own Challenges. Each Challenge you create will generate its own unique share code, so you can send it to your friends or share it on your social channels.

We'll even be sharing some of our own custom challenges from some familiar faces on our channels in the coming weeks, so keep an eye out!

Lagoon Viewing Dome

With the incredible new species coming to your Lagoons in the Jurassic World Evolution 2: Prehistoric Marine Species Pack, we're offering your park guests a whole new way to observe them - with the Lagoon Viewing Dome! This brand new viewing area will function much like the Remote Viewing Galleries included in our previous update, and all Remote Viewing Entrances will also now be able to snap to the edges of your Lagoons, making your guests' experience even better! Lagoon Viewing Domes will offer a whole new underwater view for your guests, allowing them to see your marine species like never before.

Skin and Dinosaur Favouriting

As of Update 7, we'll be introducing two new features to make it easier than ever before to both manage your favourite skins and variations, and keep an eye on your favourite species once they're in your park.

First up, you'll now be able to mark skin and pattern colour variants as favourites in the species viewer, allowing you a way to save the variations that you prefer in a simple, easy-to-see way. When you're in the Hatchery genome editing menu, you'll then be able to choose to only randomise your favourited colour variants, allowing you even more freedom over how your species look in your park!

You'll also now be able to favourite specific dinosaurs in your parks. This will allow you to receive notifications when those dinosaurs in particular are performing interesting behaviours, as well as placing a beacon at their current location so you can easily head to them. Your favourited dinosaurs will also appear with a green highlight on your map overview, so you can always check in on them when needed.

Placeable Ampitheatre

We're not in San Diego any more...Yep, that's right! With Update 7, you'll now be able to place the Ampitheatre in your Sandbox parks, as part of the Jurassic Park building style. We know this is something that's been highly requested, so we're very much looking forward to seeing what you do with this iconic building in your parks!

Dinosaur Guest Hostility

Want to make your prehistoric species a little more...free range? Now, with Update 7, you'll be able to! When starting a new Sandbox park, you'll be able to toggle 'Dinosaur Danger to Guests' on or off, or set it to 'Carnivores Only'. With this setting off, any prehistoric species not in enclosures won't attack or injure your guests, and your safety rating and incident prevention ratings won't be impacted, either. Nothing's safer than a dinosaur park!

Additional Sandbox Mode Settings

Dinosaur hostility isn't the only change we've got coming for Sandbox players in Update 7! You'll now be able to enjoy all maps in Sandbox Mode without having to meet their unlock requirements, so that all levels are available without requiring progression in other game modes.
You'll also find that you can now add cosmetic damage to your Sandbox buildings, without affecting gameplay. Found under the 'Demolish' menu option, you can choose to make your buildings look a little more worse-for-wear.

We hope you've enjoyed this highlight covering the new free update, Park Managers! Full patch notes on all the quality of life changes, as well as bug fixes will be available on 10 August.
Keep your eyes peeled to our forums and social channels for any and all updates, get more information on the new Jurassic World Evolution 2: Prehistoric Marine Species Pack here, and add to your Steam Wishlist here.

You know, I’ve always though about, if the Amphitheater were to become a placeable attraction, I could use it not only as a viewing attraction but also as a monument of the San Diego Park in a dream JP park build. Now it looks like those thoughts can come true!

(But I won’t be starting dream park builds yet, because I don’t want to have to build around when new content arrives. But I can do tests with the Amphitheater, and the new lagoon viewing attraction, as I’ve always done.)

Probably one of the least exciting updates we’ve had. I’m excited for the all sandbox modes unlocked and of course the new underwater dome. But idk, none of the other things really stand out to me, I thought this would be a bit bigger since they waited a day to announce it. But I’m still hyped for the pack and if we get more new animations, then I’ll forgive the lack of the update features.

We waited around 4 months for such a weak update, specially when we usually get big ones accompanied with creature packs.
Atleast i could see a social animation for the Shonisaurus in the first teaser and a new type of fountain in the annoucement trailer, if u guys really gave social animations for all the current marine roster, that should've been included in the highlights, but looks like thats not happening.
I really hope the dev team finally fixed the feathers bug from dominion species that has been in the game since the malta DLC and finally acknowledged since the feathered DLC, which again, its been 4 months with never getting a fix.

YES!!! Now we can finally create a Site B/Fallen Kingdom styled park!
At last I can finally use the DPG guest type.

Regarding Dinosaur Hostility.

What counts as “Carnivores Only”?

I’d assume all meat feeder animals, the Spinosaurs (Suchomimus and Baryonyx as well)

But I’m wondering about the Pterosaurs. Will they still attack guests on Carnivores Only? It would be cool to have a setting where you can let them loose and not have to worry about them attacking guests. Kinda like the ADS from Dominion.

Hi! I have a few ideas besides a fighting pit that might be intriguing. You could make it a feeding show, educational experience, agility show for raptors, MAYBE a watering hole if we can place water in it or you caluld make it a hotel and put path in the middle of it or any building

True, and I like the hotel idea, but the San Diego sign kinda off puts the implied purpose. It would’ve been so cool if it was an editable sign where you could write whatever you want on it.

JWE2 basically getting a scenario editor before PZ does...okaaayy, did not expect that but really hope we'll see one in PZ soon as well. Very much appreciate that addition and the hostility option may come in useful as well.

Other than that, though? Can't say I'm terribly hyped about anything here. Still no proper skin preview in the actual hatchery? Well, guess it's time to give up hope for that ever happening. No, faving variants does not substitute for that imo.

And one viewing dome is really all there is for the lagoons? And that with the marine species pack coming...without any option to edit the water in the lagoons it's basically useless because you won't be able to make out anything in there there past like 2m anyway 🙄

I'll reserve my final judgement until we got the full list of updates, but atm I think I'm gonna pass on this dlc. No point buying it when I won't even be able to properly see the animals it adds beyond a shadow in the water. Not to mention there's still little to no customization options for those lagoons as well. Really hoped to see a proper update to the lagoons when it came to it (expension instead of species pack?) especially after such a long wait :/

I'm slightly confused, unless it's just not mentioned here. Are the Marines going to have social animations with this update? One of the teasers seemed to show 2 Shonisaurs socializing and an image on the new Floating Rock shows an Archelon interacting with another. Will this update be adding Marine social animations or is that coming in this update?
