Encounter mesmerising new dinosaurs with Jurassic World Evolution 2: Feathered Species Pack Featuring four stunning land and air-dwelling feathered species

Cambridge, UK – March 23, 2022 Frontier Developments plc (AIM: FDEV) today announced Jurassic World Evolution 2: Feathered Species Pack, a new PDLC available Thursday 30^th March on PC via Steam, Epic Games Store, Windows Store and GeForce Now, PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation®4 and Xbox One for a suggested retail price of £5.99/$7.99/€7.99. 

Jurassic World Evolution 2: Feathered Species Pack invites players to expand their parks with four eye-catching prehistoric species, each sporting magnificent plumage that is bound to captivate guests.

Yutyrannus, whose name translates as ‘feathered tyrant,’ lives up to its moniker as one of the largest known feathered carnivores ever discovered. First discovered in Northeast China, this bipedal predator boasts a light yet dense coat that insulates against cold weather conditions.

Equally as mesmerising is Jeholopterus, an agile flying reptile whose only paleontological specimen is among the best preserved of any pterosaur. The smallest species to weave through the skies in Jurassic Word Evolution 2 to date, Jeholopterus is said to have exhibited a coat of short, delicate fibres. Guests will be able to spot the diminutive species feeding from the new insectivore feeder.

Park managers can also welcome Deinocheirus, one of the largest ornithomimosaurs ever discovered. While its long arms, duck-like bill, and humped back cut an intimidating figure, Deinocheirus is the second omnivorous species to arrive in Jurassic World Evolution 2, and is the first to feed on both plants and fish.

As well as these majestic marvels, Sinosauropteryx is a fascinating addition to any park. Discovered in 1996, this compact pack-hunter’s fossil was the first to suggest the existence of feathered dinosaurs. Guests will delight at its long, striped tail and thick feathered coat. 

The PDLC arrives alongside an exciting free update offering existing players a range of new features and enhancements. The new Log Viewing Gallery and Dome Viewing Gallery bring avid builders even more ways for their guests to observe pre-historic residents, while the introduction of a Cinematic Camera Mode allows players to capture their parks in all their splendour. Zip line variants and additional square levels allow players to get even more creative.

25 Years in the Making, Dreams Do Come True!

TUCSON, Ariz. – March 22, 2023 – POSTAL 4: No Regerts®, the stress-relieving first-person shooter in Running With Scissors’ classic franchise enjoyed by millions, criticized and scorned by the media, governments, and courts for the past twenty-five years lights up the PlayStation party with a two-for-one launch on Sony’s PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 today.

For the first time, experience the current new offering of Running With Scissors’ POSTAL franchise on a Sony console. Bigger, bolder, and better than ever before, POSTAL 4 lets degenerates define their experience by choosing their identity, wardrobe, and voice – including performances by the iconic original Rick Hunter, Corey Cruise, Zack Ward, and the legendary Jon St. John. Suit up and step into a chaotic spin on the American Dream where poorly made decisions, comedic disasters, and more guns than a doomsday prepper could dream of are all par for the course.

Start a new life in the city of Edensin as the POSTAL Dude attempts to adjust to the 9-to-5 grind. Spend a week to achieve the American Dream in a surreal and ironic open-world sandbox setting where anything is possible. Take on challenging and eclectic gigs to earn cash, like moonlighting as a bidet installer, helping American citizens escape to Mexico to find work, and high-octane scooter racing. Approach open-ended errands and side missions creatively, opting to play as a Good Samaritan favoring pacifism, or use an over-the-top arsenal to deal with problems directly.

Conduct an orchestra of disorder with an imaginative armory of weapons and tools like the Dilbow (we’re not kidding) and the Fournicator (get your mind out of the gutter, it’s a four-barreled shotgun) boomerang machetes, cat-induced silencers, and much more. Immerse yourself in Edensin like never before thanks to DualSense-exclusive features empowering the POSTAL Dude to unzip his pants with a single swipe of the trackpad, and feel the kick of each weapon with tailored haptic feedback and adaptive trigger pulls, among other enhancements and improvements.

“The day is here after twenty-five years in the making. Today’s launch of POSTAL 4: No Regerts on PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 marks the first time a mainline POSTAL game has graced Sony’s hardware and we couldn’t be happier,” said Vince Desi, founder of Running With Scissors. “Take a trip to Edinsin and experience true immersion like never before. After all, what other game gives you the ability to unzip your character’s fly with a simple swipe?”

POSTAL 4: No Regerts® is now available on PS5 and PS4 for the low price of $40 USD (which gives you a copy for both PS5 & PS4) and is currently available for PC on Steam, GOG, and Green Man Gaming. For more on Running With Scissors’ beloved series, check out the official website, follow the mayhem on Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, and join the community on Discord.

In the Closed Beta, squads can select from three colorful and varied maps – each varying in size, layout, challenges and Relic Stations that unlock unique powers to give teams the upper hand against their opponents.

“We’re incredibly excited for fans to get an early hands-on with Crash Team Rumble during April’s Closed Beta” said Paul Yan, Co-Studio Head at Toys For Bob. “We truly value the community’s feedback and will use this input to fine tune the game for an amazing player experience on launch day. See you in the Closed Beta!”

In Crash Team Rumble, fans can play from a roster of friends and frenemies from the Crash universe, each of which fall into one of the three roles – Blocker, Booster, or Scorer. Teams strategically utilize the different roles to work together to be the first to bank the most Wumpa fruit in their drop-off zone, while simultaneously defending their opponent team’s drop zone. Unique Relic Powers bring an additional strategic element to the game, which squadmates can use to gain the upper hand when scoring, leading their team to victory. Crash Team Rumble features cross-platform play**, allowing players across multiple consoles to squad up and jump into the competition.

Crash Team Rumble will be released on PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, Xbox® Series X/S and Xbox One® for $29.99 SRP for the Standard Edition, and $39.99 SRP for the Deluxe Edition. The Crash Team Rumble Standard Edition features the full game, additional post-launch seasonal content and limited time modes, access to the Closed Beta (for those who pre-order) and the Season 1 Premium Battle Pass.
