What if at least a small population of them is still on Isla Nublar, and what if they will appear for Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom? I will get my hopes up for this dinosaur. I would imagine that simply for customer safety the Troodon would have been hunted down and disposed of by the clean-up crew as its very likely that Dr Harding and Jess would have reported their continued existence even though Hammond ordered them to be destroyed long before the events of the game.

According to all the behind-the-scenes sources, Isla Nublar was completely searched from one end to the other. The only animal confirmed to have been captured was Rexy. Everything else appears to have been destroyed due to their ability to reproduce (as there is only one Tyrannosaurus, this isn't an issue for her) and re-created as new stock, hence why so many of the animals seen in Jurassic World look different to their Jurassic Park counterparts. Troodon may well have survived for a while but I feel that with all that extra security (and the park being watched 24/7) they would have been seen and killed sometime in that 20 year period.

That's not to say Troodon won't appear in some form or another, but I've got to be honest, if it does appear it'll probably be a cameo. I don't think they're that focussed on bringing new or alternate dinosaurs to the franchise - although many other dinosaurs are named on websites and such, everything seen on screen in Jurassic World (with the exception of Indominus and Dimorphodon) was something either already highly associated with the franchise - Tyrannosaurus, Velociraptor, Gallimimus, Stegosaurus, Parasaurolophus, Ankylosaurus and Pteranodon, or are creatures commonly shown in dinosaur-related media - Apatosaurus and Mosasaurus.

Troodon may appear, but then it might detract from the Raptors - the reason Dilophosaurus was made smaller in the film than in real life was because they didn't want a second, large meat eater stomping around when they already had T rex, so they might not want an animal similar to Velociraptor knocking about.
