After a successful Early Access period, the serene nature-building puzzle game Preserve is set to make its full debut on May 15th, launching across PC (Steam), Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4|5, and Xbox One/Series X|S. Developer Bitmap Galaxy and publisher Grindstone are marking this milestone with the introduction of the Jurassic Biome, inviting players to cultivate prehistoric ecosystems alongside existing environments like alpine forests and coral reefs.

A World of Vertical Wilderness

Preserve distinguishes itself with its multi-layered ecosystem design, allowing players to stack habitats vertically as well as expand horizontally. This unique approach transforms each playthrough into a three-dimensional puzzle, where balancing flora and fauna across elevations becomes key to maintaining harmony. The new Jurassic Biome introduces dinosaur-era species that require careful placement strategies. Will you create a dense jungle for raptors beneath your modern redwood forest, or let pterodactyls soar above your alpine meadows? Each decision impacts the delicate equilibrium of your preserve.

The game’s Card Upcycle System rewards thoughtful play with breathtaking natural wonders. Complete specific challenges to unlock lavender fields that bloom across multiple layers, or volcanic hot springs that create microclimates for rare species. These landmarks aren’t just decorative—they actively influence nearby ecosystems, adding another strategic dimension to your nature crafting.

Gameplay Modes for Every Mood

Preserve offers multiple ways to engage with its tranquil world, catering to different playstyles and moods:

Harmony Mode remains the heart of the experience, challenging players to create sustainable ecosystems using tradeable cards representing plants and animals. The full release enhances this mode with expanded card mechanics, allowing deeper strategic combinations. Will you create a symbiotic pairing between stegosauruses and prehistoric ferns? Or will you risk introducing a predator that could disrupt your food chain?

For those who prefer structured challenges, Puzzle Mode presents increasingly complex scenarios with specific objectives. The Jurassic update introduces 15 new dinosaur-themed puzzles, including one that tasks players with recreating the famous Morrison Formation fossil beds. These puzzles teach advanced techniques while telling miniature stories about prehistoric ecology.

Creative Mode unleashes unlimited possibilities, removing all restrictions so players can design breathtaking preserves without constraints. It’s the perfect space for relaxation or experimenting with bold biome combinations. Imagine a coral reef thriving beneath a volcanic jungle, or mammoths wandering through a redwood forest. The new Photo Mode lets you capture these creations with professional-grade tools, including adjustable lighting, filters, and depth-of-field controls to showcase your masterpieces.

Accessible to All, Rewarding for Everyone

Preserve delivers exceptional value with its wealth of content and replayability. The developers have carefully balanced the game to welcome newcomers while offering depth for dedicated players:

• Intuitive Tutorials introduce mechanics gradually, ensuring anyone can enjoy the therapeutic joy of ecosystem building
• Adaptive Difficulty in Harmony Mode automatically adjusts challenge based on player performance
• Weekly Community Challenges provide fresh objectives and a chance to compare creations with players worldwide
• Cross-Platform Leaderboards let you measure your preservation skills against others, regardless of platform

The console versions have been optimized for controller play, with redesigned UI elements that make navigating vertical biomes effortless on TV screens. Touchscreen support on Switch offers an additional way to interact with your ecosystems.

With its unique blend of strategic depth, creative freedom, and prehistoric wonder, Preserve promises to be the ultimate digital nature retreat when it launches. Whether you want to unwind after work with some peaceful puzzle-solving or dive deep into complex ecological challenges, this is one preserve that will keep growing alongside its community.

Preserve releases on May 15th PC/Mac through Steam, and on every major console. It will retail for $12.49 USD on Steam and $14.99 USD on consoles.
