A STRONG LAUNCH FOR JURASSIC WORLD EVOLUTION 3 AND A SEQUEL FOR PLANET ZOO

Frontier Developments plc (AIM: FDEV, 'Frontier' or the 'Company'), a leading
developer and publisher of video games based in Cambridge, UK, is pleased to
provide updates on two of its flagship franchises: Jurassic World Evolution
and Planet Zoo.

Jurassic World Evolution 3 hits it out of the park

Excellent player engagement and critic reviews following its release on 21
October 2025 has delivered stronger-than-expected sales for Jurassic World
Evolution 3, the third instalment in Frontier's biggest-selling game
franchise, Jurassic World Evolution. At just over two weeks after release,
base game sales have now exceeded 500,000 units, with higher revenue than was
achieved by Jurassic World Evolution 2 (Nov'21) in an equivalent period.

As part of Frontier's post-launch strategy of nurturing its games for many
years after release, several game updates have already been delivered, with
further updates and new content already in development for the future, to
delight existing players and engage new ones.

The strong launch of Jurassic World Evolution 3 bodes well for Frontier's
current financial year (1 June 2025 to 31 May 2026), ahead of the important
festive sales period.

Planet Zoo Sequel Announced

Frontier is excited to reveal that the CMS game scheduled for release in
financial year 2027 (1 June 2026 - 31 May 2027) is a sequel to Planet Zoo,
Frontier's biggest selling game to date. Released in 2019, Planet Zoo has sold
over 5.5 million units worldwide and generated over £145 million in revenue
as of 31 October 2025.

Since its original launch on PC, Planet Zoo has cultivated a vibrant global
community of players whose creativity and passion have helped shape the game
into a genre-defining experience. From intricately designed habitats to
imaginative zoo layouts, the game has become a platform for millions to
express their love for animals, conservation, and design.

Jonny Watts, CEO of Frontier, commented:

"We're thrilled with the player reception to Jurassic World Evolution 3, which
has translated into an excellent sales performance. We look forward to sharing
a full update on sales across our whole portfolio, including Jurassic World
Evolution 3, in January following the festive period.

At the same time, we're delighted to be developing a sequel to Planet Zoo, a
game that has been elevated by the incredible creativity and dedication of our
community over the past six years."

Further details on the Planet Zoo sequel will be announced in due course.
