It was just a few short months back, when Jurassic fever was taking over the world, that Jurassic World Dominion hit the big screens. It was about that same time that Jurassic World Evolution 2 park rangers gained access to the rather decent Dominion Biosyn expansion. But if you thought you were done with dino breeding, then think again as now the Jurassic World Evolution 2: Dominion Malta Expansion is with us.
Hopping on the back of Dominion, the Jurassic World Evolution 2: Dominion Malta Expansion takes us off to the Med, as we join a cast of the most iconic of franchise characters as a new campaign plays out.
It’s that campaign which is central to what Jurassic World Evolution 2: Dominion Malta Expansion brings, featuring a star-studded cast including Kayla Watts (voiced by DeWanda Wise), Soyona Santos (voiced by Dichen Lachman), Barry Sembène (voiced by Omar Sy), and Lewis Dodgson (voiced by Campbell Scott). Dip in and you’ll be found building trust with the Authorities and the Underground, setting up parks across three stunning island locations; one of which features a never-before-seen natural lagoon.
We’re pretty sure that the new campaign will tease rangers back to the world of Jurassic World Evolution 2, but it goes without saying that a bigger hit is probably needed in order for it to appeal to all. That’s where the new dinosaurs come in.
There are four in total, including the fearsome Atrociraptor, omnivorous Oviraptor, feathered Moros Intrepidus, and the squat Lystrosaurus.
These guys come to the fore alongside a further free update for the game that not just adds film-inspired buildings, but new features and enhancements, attacking and eating behaviours for smaller species, five DFW Campaign levels that are now available to play as Challenge Mode maps, quality of life updates, and more.
The key features and inclusions in the Dominion Malta DLC include:
- NEW CAMPAIGN EXPERIENCE – Before the events of Jurassic World Dominion, help lead a brand new enterprise in Malta. Work alongside Cabot Finch and key figures from the film, including Kayla Watts (voiced by DeWanda Wise), Soyona Santos (voiced by Dichen Lachman), Barry Sembène (voiced by Omar Sy), and Lewis Dodgson (voiced by Campbell Scott) as you set up parks across three Mediterranean locations. Establish key buildings, and trade on the dinosaur exchange to acquire more species, eggs, and even genome data. Work with both the Underground and Authorities and build trust with these organisations via various actions to unlock further opportunities such as, hatchery upgrades, locations and more.
- NEW LOCATIONS AND BUILDINGS – Create all-new parks containing a range of exciting buildings with a film-inspired theme, including the new Acquisition Centre, viewing gallery, hotel, and more. Seat your ranger, MVU, and capture teams in new-style vehicles, and add fresh decorations to make your parks stand out. Build across three new locations set in the Mediterranean, one of which boasts a natural lagoon. All Malta buildings are available to use in sandbox mode.
- NEW PREHISTORIC SPECIES AND SKINS – Host four captivating dinosaurs as seen in Jurassic World Dominion. Faithfully created to mirror their film counterparts, these iconic prehistoric species are ready to give guests an unforgettable experience. Furthermore, Jurassic World Evolution 2: Dominion Malta Expansion features stunning new variants of existing species and additional film skins, so you can give your dinosaurs a bold new look with different patterns and colours.
- The pack contains: NEW DINOSAURS
- Atrociraptor – (with 4x movie ‘squad’ skins) Arguably even more dangerous than its velociraptor cousins, the Atrociraptor has a bulkier body and boxier snout. The coloration varies wildly between individuals.
- Lystrosaurus – A short, squat herbivore with powerful forelimbs and an unusually shaped skull that lived around 250 million years ago. The Lystrosaurus is notable for its tusks and horned beak, used to bite bits of vegetation.
- Oviraptor – A smaller predator with a distinctive head crest, the Oviraptor has a unique feathered look. Originally believed to steal eggs of other dinosaurs, it was dubbed the ‘Egg Thief’, but it has since been understood to be an omnivore with a powerful jaw for its size.
- Moros Intrepidus – A diminutive carnivore and one of the smallest Tyrannosauroids to have ever existed, the Moros Intrepidus is only a fraction of the size of its famous relative, the T. rex. Despite its short stature, it is known to be a quick and nimble hunter.
- NEW DINOSAUR VARIANTS inspired by Jurassic World Dominion.
- Iguanodon 2022
- Allosaurus 2022
- Dimorphodon 2022

You’ll need the base game of Jurassic World Evolution 2 to hand in order to enjoy what is on offer, but that is available through the usual digital stores for Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, PS5 and PC players (Steam, Epic, GeForce Now).
You’ll find the new Dominion Malta Expansion there too, present and correct for £15.99 as a standalone Add-on, or as part of the new Jurassic World Evolution 2: Dominion Bundle for £69.99. That brings together the base game with the new Malta expansion and the previous Dominion Biosyn drop.
