The Epic Games Store’s monthly free game bonanza continues to roar into March 2025, with the platform announcing its penultimate giveaway: Jurassic World Evolution 2, the critically acclaimed park management simulator from Frontier Developments. Starting Thursday, March 20, players can claim the dinosaur-themed strategy game at no cost—a Tyrannosaurus-sized treat for fans of simulation games and the Jurassic Park franchise alike.
Build Your Prehistoric Paradise (Before Time Runs Out)
From March 20–27, users can snag Jurassic World Evolution 2 for free on the Epic Games Store (opens in new window), adding it permanently to their libraries. The sequel to 2018’s Jurassic World Evolution lets players design, manage, and—inevitably—escape from their own dinosaur-filled theme parks. With enhanced mechanics, deeper customization, and chaotic “Chaos Theory” mode, the game challenges you to balance scientific ambition with park safety. Spoiler alert: the dinosaurs will break out.
Critics praised the game’s improvements over its predecessor, awarding it a 76/100 on Metacritic (read critic reviews here) and a “Strong” 75% rating on OpenCritic (see breakdown). Highlights include stunning visuals, a gripping campaign starring original Jurassic World cast members, and a sandbox mode that rewards creativity—even if your creations eat the tourists.
Why Claim This Dino Drama?
Beyond the obvious appeal of bioengineering a Giganotosaurus, Jurassic World Evolution 2 offers:
- Cinematic Story Mode: Partner with iconic characters like Dr. Ian Malcolm (voiced by Jeff Goldblum) to navigate disasters.
- Multi-species Chaos: Test your management skills as flying reptiles and aquatic predators join the breakout parties.
- Sandbox Freedom: Unleash your inner John Hammond with unlimited resources to build the park of your dreams (or nightmares).
While the free Epic Games Store version includes the base game, completionists can grab the Deluxe Edition—bundling the Dominion Biosyn Expansion and vintage dinosaur skins—via Amazon for a discounted $29.99.
Epic’s March 2025 Lineup Closes With a Mystery
This giveaway follows March’s first free title, the indie puzzle-adventure Lumote Remastered, and precedes one final unannounced game dropping on March 27. Speculation runs wild, with rumors hinting at a major RPG or a retro revival.
Whether you’re here for the strategic depth or just want to recreate Jurassic Park’s infamous kitchen scene, don’t let this dino deal go extinct. Mark your calendars, charge your escape jeeps, and prepare to claim Jurassic World Evolution 2—before it’s too late.
