The next patch has been announced by Wildcard and is aimed to be released in the week of March 27. We presume the actual release date will be more towards March 31, as the Eggcellent Adventure event will end that day. For now, there are already some things that we can look out for; including the new creatures that were aimed to be released in patch v237.

Highlights

Some of the highlights of the upcoming patch can be found below with additional information.

New creatures

This time, 3! new creatures have been announced: the Woolly Rhino, Eurypterid and Dunkleosteus. We’ve already covered these in some devkit previews, so click on their names to find more information and images of how they will look like.

Breeding update

Breeding mechanics 2 will be included in this patch. We don’t know yet what exact features this will include, but it will probably have to do with mutations!
