This update doesn’t disappoint either, as it introduces new animals, a new biome to explore, and a new exclusive pet to unlock. But these things can be daunting, especially for beginners. So, to help you understand, here’s a comprehensive Desert Dunes Update guide that covers everything about it.
How to Unlock the Desert Dunes Biome in Raise Animal

In the latest Desert Dunes update in Raise Animals, a new biome known as the Desert Dunes was added. You can unlock this biome in Raise Animals for $7.5 million. First, press the Play button, then click on the Map, and purchase the Desert Dunes biome. Once purchased, it’ll start appearing randomly when you play.
Like any other biome, the Desert Dunes biome is filled with stones, statues, and cactuses. They are similar to the obstacles in different biomes. Therefore, avoiding them is the best course of action. The main hazard to look out for is the Tumbleweeds.
Unlike other stationary obstacles in different biomes, Tumbleweeds move in random directions, causing more problems. This makes it difficult to predict and dodge. Moreover, quicksand was also added, which can slow you down and cause collisions with other animals.
