The game missions take place during the events of all the films in the franchise.
One of the dinosaurs featured in the game is Deinonychus. Since the "Velociraptor" of the Jurassic Park and World franchises is also technically Deinonychus, just called by a different name, the game's Deinonychus was radically redesigned to make it distinct. Its anatomy was loosely based on very early 1960s and 70s interpretations and it was given fleshy, amphibian-like "fins" on its head and tail. Instead of the usual raptor sounds, it was given the sounds effects used for Dilophosaurus. A scientifically up-to-date, realistically feathered raptor, Utahraptor was added to the game in late 2023 via the "Cretaceous Predator Pack". The game's Utahraptor design is the closest to what a real Deinonychus (aka the movies' Velociraptor) would have looked like in real life.
