Planet Zoo is the ultimate zoo simulation featuring authentic living animals, rich management, and limitless creativity, players can build and manage a truly modern zoo where animal welfare and conservation comes first.

From the makers of Planet Coaster (2016) and Jurassic World Evolution (2018) comes the ultimate zoo simulation, featuring authentic living animals, rich management, and limitless creativity. Build and manage a truly modern zoo where animal welfare and conservation comes first.

Planet Zoo presents the most authentic animals in videogame history. From playful lion cubs to mighty elephants, every animal in Planet Zoo is an individual who thinks, feels and explores the world you build around them. They care about their surroundings and each other, with complex environmental and social needs. Nurture your animals throughout their lives, study and manage every species to see them thrive, and help them raise young to pass their genes onto future generations.

Manage your own zoo in an expressive world that reacts to every choice you make. Focus on the big picture or go hands-on and look after the smallest details. Thrill visitors with prestigious animals and famous exhibits, develop your zoo and research new technologies, and release animals back into the wild to repopulate the planet.


Frontier Developments announced a brand-new expansion for the ultimate zoo simulation, Planet Zoo. Introducing an extraordinary array of new animals who call this vast region their home, Planet Zoo: Eurasia Animal Pack arrives on PC via Steam on 13th December for a suggested retail price of £7.99/$9.99/€9.99. All players can also enjoy a range of new features as part of a free base game update.

Planet Zoo: Eurasia Animal Pack introduces eight fascinating new species, all of which hail from the diverse and breathtaking landscapes of Eurasia – the largest continental area on Earth. Players can watch as their guests observe each animal’s unique behaviours, with detailed new animations bringing these exceptional additions to life. 

It’s hard to miss the magnificent Wisent, who navigates deep snow with ease despite its colossal size, while the fearless Wolverine is bound to amaze visitors as it climbs and rests on nearby branches. The graceful Mute Swan, named for its quiet nature, is also sure to turn heads with its impressive wingspan and underwater foraging behaviour. Equally, the Wild Boars are not to be overlooked. Guests can spot the adorable piglets as they trot alongside their mother, while the curious Saiga can also be seen exploring its habitat using its greatest asset: its snout. 

Completing the Planet Zoo: Eurasia Animal Pack roster are: the thick-set Takin, with its coarse brown coat and signature horns; the Sloth Bear, whose name contrasts with its agile movements and feisty character; and the Hermann’s Tortoise exhibit animal, with its distinctive ’keyhole’ shell pattern.

Alongside eight exciting species, aspiring zookeepers are challenged to put their management skills to the test during a new Campaign Mode scenario. Bernie Goodwin returns with a secret mission, tasking players with designing and building a zoo as a surprise retirement gift for Nancy Jones. Can Bernie keep his plans concealed, or will Nancy catch on? 

In addition to the pack, a free base-game update brings all players a range of extras, enhancements, and quality of life updates. Players can now provide their guests with the perfect memento of their zoo visit by planning a brand new, customisable Souvenir Shop. Creativity is also easier than ever thanks to the new Flexicolour Multiselect Mode, which allows players to select and quickly recolour multiple objects, while animal enthusiasts can also discover new colour morphs for the Bengal and Siberian Tigers. 

Planet Zoo: Eurasia Animal Pack requires the Planet Zoo base game to download and play. 

Unleash your creativity with the next evolution of Planet Coaster’s best-in-class creation mechanics. Craft stunning scenery and habitats, dig lakes and rivers, raise hills and mountains, and carve tunnels and caves as you build your own zoo. See your animals and visitors respond to your creative vision, and share your designs with friends in Planet Zoo’s online community. Bring the world’s greatest designs home to your own zoo for your animals and visitors to enjoy.

Planet Zoo is available for PC (Steam) at £34.99 / $44.99 / €44.99 with a bevy of DLCs.
