A few days ago, Microsoft revealed that Jurassic World Evolution was going to be free through Xbox Live Games with Gold. The game has a number of expansions that you can purchase to enhance your experience, and today, it got another one.

Jurassic World Evolution: Return to Jurassic Park is available now on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One for $20. Players will step back in time to 1993 and return to Isla Nublar and Isla Sorna to rebuild the original Jurassic Park. The story is pretty unique because after being charged to restore order to the islands, Dr. Hammond convinces Dr. Alan Grant, Dr. Ellie Sattler, and Dr. Ian Malcolm to return and rebuild the destroyed park.
