- Expansion Release Date is here! - 12 December 2022
Hello everyone! Today is a good day to finally announce the release date for the next DLC. It took abit longer then we would have wanted but we needed to make sure we could deliver the same high quality content as the rest of the game. It has been a very busy couple of months for us, making the herbivore part turned out to be more challenging then we predicted. It is like making a new game within the game. We always try to be optimistic when it comes to our releases but this time the new content and features for the Triceratops required alot of rebuilding of core game systems, it was a lot of work and since the game is not in Early Access anymore means that extra polish, bug fixing, achievements and optimization have to be in place as well before launch. All of you deserve to know when the expansion will be released. So here it is. Official date. EXPANSION DLC RELEASE DATE Triceratops S…

- What's next for Dino Nest - 6 May 2022
Hey there! We are currently working to put in a playable herbivore in the next Major content update to Dino Nest (v1.25). Primary source of food will be a special fruit, mushroom, berries, grass or rare leafs (not decided yet).

Vote for the next playable species in the game Community feedback and suggestions are very important to us. It is time to hear what you think should be the next playable species in the game. You can also suggest a herbivore not on our list or a carnivore. All ideas are welcome! Playable herbivore 1. Dodo 2. Pachycephalosaurus 3. Triceratops 4. Gallimimus 5. Paraceratherium 6. Brontosaurus -------------------------- 7. Your s…
