Jurassic World Evolution releases next week and according to its developers, it will not support mods. Although Frontier Developments’ previous game, Planet Coaster, did support mods, this new Jurassic World game will not due to licensing and quality reasons.
As Frontier told Gamestar, Universal Studios has the rights of the game and they must follow its guidance. Moreover, it would have been very difficult for individual mods to achieve the level of detail and visual quality that both Frontier and Universal Studios wanted.
Although the game will not support mods, Frontier has gained access to a large number of assets to create a world that stays true to the look and feel of the movies, and it is focused on giving players the best possible Jurassic World Evolution experience.
Jurassic World Evolution releases on June 12th and will be also using the Denuvo anti-tamper tech.

The developers will also not get my money or my participation in their community, also for quality reasons.
Will now get it at 75% off. Was going to get it at 50% off before.
It sucks, but I know that their hands are also tied. They do not own the JP IP, that is owned by Universal Pictures. Going against UP’s wishes could damage FD’s rep with future projects from other publishers.
That said, no mod support and repetitive animations from different dinos that fight each other has me wanting to wait for either a Steam or GMG deal. I’m not paying full price for a game that has no mod support and repetitive animations. The game isn’t exactly designed with consumer challenges in mind.
why not just say licensing and be done with it? why pull some bullshit like “quality reasons”?
I want my nude dinosaur mods.
OR !
They turn it into sims and sell s**t like addon dlc .
100% profit

best comment possible. I just won’t even leave mine.
“Jurassic World Evolution will not support mods due to licensing and quality reasons” lol is this a joke. lol Frontier Developments dont make an a–s of your selfs https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/9ff3559b23fbe9fbe2de3cd0f8f87b35d1f0bf98006e57efdec117f46ae4525f.gif
Ah so you dont want my money then?
*Going back to the perfectly modable jp operation genesis
I think this is definitely going to hurt the game more than they believe. Modding has become one of the best parts of modern videogames and allows communities to take the game and shape it. That’s the beauty of modern technology. I doubt that the world created will be able to circumvent that.
No mod because of denuvo.
i’ve always wanted to take an iq test from people who say dumb shet like this about mods.
Just when I was looking forward to this. Now I’ll just have to wait till it got on sale which judging by this won’t be that long from now.
people are going to mod it anyway w/o the support of the devs.. efforts are underway already
But it will be limited. Look at JPOG, for example. THe game has no mod support, but people were still able to create mods, but said mods were buggy, there was no way of importing custom models, etc.
Moreover, it would have been very difficult for individual mods to achieve the level of detail and visual quality that both Frontier and Universal Studios wanted. I bought it its my game. I dont mod for you universal That very statement is upsetting!!! I wont be buying this now!
even if you did buy it (most likely from steam and many other digital sale platforms) you don’t own the game….you own the licence to play the game. So at the end of the day it isn’t yours. Ignorance only gets you so far. And on another fact you do not own the universal license, therefore they CAN and SHOULD be able to make the call for no mods since it is THEIR work and shouldn’t receive any BACKLASH from PEOPLE like YOU.
No i own my copie of the game that sits on my computer. I do not own the rights to it for the sake of redistribution but I own the data on my PC for my personal use that includes modding it!
