Frontier Developments announced the newest DLC for dinosaur park sim Jurassic World Evolution. Return to Jurassic Park will return players to Isla Nublar shortly after the events of the original film, and reunite the original cast of Jeff Goldblum, Sam Neil, and Laura Dern.

Return to Jurassic Park adds seven new story missions as players are tasked with repairing the destroyed park, and reopening it to the public. I’m pretty sure all the main characters would vocally object to that, but reopening the park certainly makes for a better game.

The three actors reprise their classic roles and serve as narrators and guides through the new DLC story missions. All three have returned to the Jurassic Park and Jurassic World series in some form throughout the years, though never all together at one time.

The DLC will feature 1993 skin variants of the Tyrannosaurus Rex, Velociraptor, and others. It also adds new dinosaurs Compsognathus and Pteranodon, as well as a new Jurassic Park-inspired overlay and inventory to all existing Jurassic World Evolution challenges and sandbox levels.

The DLC will launch alongside a free update for Jurassic World Evolution, which adds some general fixes and tweaks to balance and gameplay.

Return to Jurassic Park is coming to Jurassic World Evolution on December 10, for $19.99. Jurassic World Evolution is available on PC (Steam), PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. It’s rated T for Teen.
