Isle of Nugs - A brand new 64 km² open world island, about the size of GTA V

Vast Scale - 8 km edge to edge, so a hatchling needs over two hours to walk it end to end

Biomes - Long open plains, dense woodland, flower meadows, lush jungle and rocky dry highlands

Water - Lakes, shorelines and an ocean surrounding the island

Living Ground - Dense grass that squashes under your feet, scattered pebbles, rocks and boulders you can bump into

Forests - Thousands of trees and bushes, with big foliage you can hide inside

Herds Everywhere - 180+ AI dinosaurs in 55 herds, each living in the biome that suits it

Spawn Points - 16 safe starting spots spread across the island, near fresh water and a snack

Seamless Streaming - The world loads around you as you travel, with no loading screens

Distant Views - See the whole island stretch out to the horizon from any high point

New Sky - A hand-picked cretaceous midday sky with islands on the horizon

Sunlight - The sun in the sky now matches the real light and shadows

Real Time - The day-night cycle follows real world time, shared by every player

Atmosphere - Horizon haze now matches the sky colour

Title Screen - New Dino Nuggs logo over a slow cinematic flyover of the island
