Hello everyone,

With just a few more weeks left in the year, we're happy to announce another new update is coming to Jurassic World Evolution on 13 December!

Update 1.6 will be the latest free update to hit the islands, with a slew of new sandbox options, additional maps added to challenge mode, and more.

Challenge Mode Additions
We've expanded challenge mode to include all of the islands, including the locations in Secrets of Dr. Wu if you own the DLC; that's 7 new challenges that await you! You'll need to think smart, manage your money (and dinosaurs), and act fast in order to secure the all new Challenge Mode dinosaur skins. Do you have what it takes to try Jurassic difficulty?

Brand New Sandbox Options
One of the features you have been asking for is more sandbox options to give more of an unlimited feel to the sandbox experience, and that's exactly why we've added the ability to adjust the following options:


  • Dinosaur aggression, stop them fighting, make them fight more, plus some more specific options so you can play how you want to play.
  • Disable failed incubations, so you'll always have a 100% success rating when incubating your dinosaurs.
  • Toggle to disable specific requirements for dinosaurs such as population, social and habitat; now you won't need to worry about your Ankylosaurus needing some alone time!
  • Charge the Hammond Foundation fee. Just in case you want to add a little more challenge to your sandbox.

These new features will be accompanied by a host of smaller tweaks and fixes designed to make your playing experience even more smooth and enjoyable. We'll have more information available when the update goes live on 13 December, but in the meantime tune in to our weekly livestreams on www.twitch.tv/frontierdevelopments to hang out and chat to us about all things Jurassic World Evolution!

Oh boy i hope we get some truly impressive skins with this, looking like every map is gonna have its own set of 2 skins. Movie similar Rex and Raptor anyone? Yes please!...please? I beg of you!

Other than that, a nice little update to wrap up the end of the year, additional maps were very necessary for Challenge and im looking forward to seeing new maps get added to it as new DLC etc becomes available. Great idea of making each map have 2 skins, gives some reason to actually playing them all and something to unlock in the game in general.

Sigh………… I already addicted to Jurassic Difficulty challenge. I keep playing it even after completing the unlocks. Now you want to add 7 more!? Are you trying to make me a life-long JWE-addict? [knocked out]

This sounds great! Now our dinosaurs can roam around Isla Nublar in giant herds.
And without the failed incubation, we can use the the Upgrades to get faster to our desired amount of Dinosaurs.
I'm really excited. :D

Nice update, but I'm not touching challenge mode or the Dr. Wu DLC until I can Platinum the game, that means the Arid gene database bug being fixed.

So...is this kinda like the Dr Wu genes without the paid DLC? Love it!

I haven't tried challenge mode yet, but with unlockable skins now I'll have to, hahah.

Same here, I promised myself I won't buy the DLC until after I got every achievement, unlocked every dinosaur and INgen database entry...

Now the only thing that could make Sandbox mode better imho is instant incubations, so no more waiting for 5 minutes on Indominus.

Live bait feeders

Is the live bait feeder issue on Xbox one of the fixes, I’ve not even able to play for months as the live bait feeders operate but don’t actually produce any goats! And I refuse to start a new game I worked to hard unlocking everything to do that. I’ve reported it like 10 times

Please fix this!!!!

Dear Frontier

Bless you...
Bless you...

Thank you for expanding challenge mode. With the new day/night cycle (so awesome!), feeders, research, and now new islands, I feel I'm getting everything I wanted for Christmas.

p.s. Are the challenge mode requirements the same for each island? Meaning, the Isla Nublar challenges restrictions are the same for Isla Pena?

How many dinosaurs do you have in your enclosure and is there definitely 100% enough feeders to accommodate them all?

Well, if that’s the case, please keep doing what you guys and gals have been doing. There’s no way back for me. [up]

I have not looked into your case. All I know is there’s a limit to the total number of goats in a park. The number is around 25. If that number is reached, no goat will be spawned. Hope there isn’t a technical issue with your case :)

I have 2 feeders to every Dino and all the other feeders are fine it’s just the live bait, and I never have more than 2 carnivores to a paddock unless it’s the raptors. The feeders work such as the platform raises and lowers just doesn’t produce a goat

This sounds super exciting - thanks for keeping the great updates coming team! Really nice to have reasons to log back in and see how my favourite Dinos are doing each month!

I definitely think the additional Sandbox features will be welcome. I recently completed a short series on the game - and in it I found many of the carnivores would kill one another if housed together due to their Social tolerance! So that is something I am incredibly excited to change and play with. Can't wait to dig my mits into the new update!
