The expansion introduces significant gameplay additions and new creature behavior, signaling a major content update for the simulation title. This release aims to expand the ecosystem and challenge players with more aggressive dinosaur interactions.
The official trailer showcases the Distortus Rex, which features unique kill animations designed to increase the intensity of the park simulation [1, 3].
