He\u2019ll reprise the role of Dr Ian Malcolm once again, just like he did in the previous game and its DLC.<\/p>\n<p>Bryce Dallas Howard will also lend her voice to the game, reprising her role as Claire Dearing from the Jurassic World movies. And here\u2019s a fun fact for you: Bryce Dallas Howard also appeared in a recent PS5 exclusive puzzle game, called Maquette, which is well worth checking out if you haven\u2019t already.<\/p>\n<p>The previous Jurassic World Evolution game also featured Laura Dern as Dr Ellie Sattler, Sam Neill as Dr Alan Grant and BD Wong as Henry Wu, so we\u2019d hope to see them return as well.
