Nature: Climate (2026)

Overview

Nature: Climate is a redesign of Evolution: Climate, shaped by feedback from more than 400 fans. Nature: Climate brings one of Earth’s most powerful forces of change into the ecosystem: a constantly shifting climate. It’s the largest and most immersive experience yet released for the core game Nature.

Life Must Find a Way Earth’s climate is never static. Ice ages advance and retreat, temperatures rise and fall, and environments transform. Some species adapt—growing thick fur or migrating with the seasons—while others disappear into the fossil record. Every dramatic shift in climate marks a turning point in evolutionary history, writing a new chapter in the epic story of life on Earth.

Climate adds a climate track, 2 climate dice, and 8 new traits that help species adapt to a dramatically shifting world.

The Nature Game System Nature features a modular system that lets players shape the ecosystem. Add Nature: Climate for shifting environmental pressure, Nature: Flight for reduced conflict, or Nature: Jurassic for a more aggressive experience. With 6 modules and 4 mini-modules, there are over 700 unique ecosystems to explore!
