My biggest concern for Jurassic World Evolution 3 is the species being cut from JWE3, considering that the base game's species roster of JWE2 of 79 (or 84 in the deluxe upgrade) is much higher than the 37 (or 42 in the deluxe upgrade) species the base game of JWE1.
Meanwhile, there's only 82 species for the base game of JWE3 (86 if we're counting the deluxe upgrade), meaning that many species we all come to know and love in the previous games may have been sadly cut, not to mention that it's considerably much less new or returning base game species than what JWE2 had compared with the first game.
I understand that modeling a new game with breeding and juveniles is hard, and that quality is often better than quantity, but we should have waited for another year for Frontier to develop the third game, so that every species from the previous two games would return.
I really hope that Frontier was just being cheeky about JWE3 only having "82 species" at launch, and are adding in more than a 100 species at launch, with the remaining animals (other than Thanatosdrakon or Concovenator, which are sadly resold in the deluxe upgrade) being added, hopefully not through paid DLCs (this would engage fans), but through free updates (even if some species like Carcharodontosaurus and Deinonychus gets redesigned), one by one into the base game. That way, our worries would be gone for the third game.
