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 that Planet Zoo: Barnyard Animal Pack will be arriving on PC on 30th April, bringing seven charming new animals, a selection of rustic scenery, and an exciting new campaign scenario for an SRP of £7.99/$9.99/€9.99.
Guests will be able to meet seven beloved species which have lived alongside humans for generations, including: the thick-coated Highland Cattle, the curious Sussex Chicken, the sprightly Alpine Goat, the sociable Alpaca, the affectionate American Standard Donkey, the versatile Hill Radnor Sheep, and the intelligent Tamworth Pig. These friendly animals may even interact with guests if they are in the mood for affection!
The pack allows players to bring rural character into their zoos with over 60 new scenery pieces, from upcycled picnic tables to cast-iron water pumps, weathervanes, and more.
In addition, zookeepers can breathe new life into a once-neglected farm in a transformative new campaign scenario. Set against the rolling hills of the New Zealand countryside, they’ll team up with returning character Tiffany Summers to turn forgotten pastures into a thriving haven for animals.
A free update will also arrive for all players, who will be able to convert a number of habitats to enable animal encounters with some species, alongside new scenery including hand washing stations, guest gates, and more.
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), Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 at £34.99 / $44.99 / €44.99 with a bevy of DLCs.
