Five New Prehistoric Species

The headline addition is Deinosuchus — the first crocodilian ever added to the Jurassic World Evolution franchise. This massive semi-aquatic predator joins four other species, all delivered as complete family units with unique interactions and, in some cases, bioluminescent skins :

• Deinosuchus — a giant prehistoric crocodile .
• Postosuchus — a large rauisuchid archosaur .
• Desmatosuchus — an armored aetosaur with distinctive shoulder spikes .
• Styxosaurus — a long-necked plesiosaur .
• Shonisaurus — a giant ichthyosaur and one of the largest marine reptiles ever known .

Hundreds of Coastal Scenery Pieces

The DLC does not stop at new creatures. It also includes what multiple sources describe as "hundreds of new coastal themed scenery pieces" . The Steam listing confirms "a collection of coastal themed scenery pieces to expand your waterside operations," featuring boardwalks, huts, lighting, signs, props, and wall sets designed for waterside park-building .

Free Update 1.4.1 — Same Day, All Players

Launching alongside the paid DLC on August 11 is Update 1.4.1, a free patch for all owners of the base game . It adds:

• Hawaii Sandbox map — a new square-shaped sandbox map set in Hawaii .
• Workshop Collections support — a Steam Workshop feature that lets players share and browse curated groups of mods and creations .
• Elasmosaurus — a marine reptile added to the base game as a family unit .

(Note: Some early articles labeled the update as version 1.4, but the majority of sources confirm 1.4.1 as the correct number .)

Promotional Rollout (August 4–11)

Between August 5 and 7, extended preview articles and species-specific spotlights — such as a dedicated feature on Shonisaurus — appeared on regional and enthusiast gaming sites . The Steam store page went live with pre-purchase availability before the August 11 release date .
