Gameplay
Similar to its predecessors, Jurassic World Evolution 3 is a construction and management simulation video game which tasks players to build and manage their own Jurassic World-themed prehistoric theme park. The game features 99 species (with the wetlands pack and deluxe edition, 92 without) of prehistoric animals; 92 of them have their own distinct female, male, and juvenile variants. The game also introduced a broader suite of park creation tools, allowing players to modify a park's terrain extensively and place modular scenery items, similar to Frontier's other games like Planet Zoo and Planet Coaster. Parks, custom buildings and enclosures can also be shared with other players using Frontier Workshop.
Like previous entries, the game features a sandbox mode, which allows users to create their own park using any map from the campaign mode. Along with the campaign maps, the sandbox also features several returning maps from Jurassic World Evolution 2. New to the game's sandbox mode is the ability to generate a custom island, allowing players to customize the shape, elevation, and geographical features of the island.
Development
Jurassic World Evolution 3 was announced by Frontier Developments in May 2024. The game revealed its first trailer in June 2025. It was released for PlayStation 5, Microsoft Windows and Xbox Series X/S platforms on 21 October 2025. Players can also purchase the game's Deluxe Edition, which grants access to four additional animals (Protoceratops, Guanlong, Thanatosdrakon, and Concavenator), while players who pre-ordered the game gained access to the "Badlands Set", which includes items inspired by the dig site of the original Jurassic Park film.
The game features new species which never appeared in the previous games: Lokiceratops, Ornithomimus, Caiuajara, Psittacosaurus, and Patagotitan. Although featured in previous games, Deinonychus was given an improved design which adds feathers in addition to the previous, scaled design. Before Evolution 3's release, Frontier Developments confirmed that Evolution 2's base game species will be returning in free updates throughout the game's lifespan, starting with Kentrosaurus in November. It continued with Majungasaurus in January, Cryolophosaurus in February, and Amargasaurus in March.
Reception
Jurassic World Evolution 3 received "generally favorable" reviews from critics, according to review aggregator website Metacritic. Fellow review aggregator OpenCritic assessed that the game received strong approval, being recommended by 90% of critics. The game was nominated for Best Sim/Strategy Game at The Game Awards 2025.
Many critics praised the improvements to the gameplay formula, and considered the game to be the best in the series. Shacknews thought that Jurassic World Evolution 3 brought the series to its full potential, and also commended the addition of juvenile dinosaurs and improvements to game's customization options.
