Cambridge-based Frontier Developments plc (AIM: FDEV) has officially released Planet Zoo 2 — the highly anticipated sequel to the beloved and critically acclaimed zoo management sim — and it’s delivering the biggest leap forward in the franchise’s history.
The Next Generation of Zoo Building
Building on the legacy of the original, which captivated millions of players worldwide, Planet Zoo 2 raises the bar across the board — and brings two long-awaited features to the series for the very first time:
Dive Into Aquatic Life
For the first time ever, design and manage fully customisable aquariums housing a spectacular range of aquatic species — from Blacktip Reef Sharks and Hawksbill Turtles to manatees, tropical fish, and rays. Build underwater viewing galleries, tune water chemistry, and create thriving freshwater and marine exhibits that dazzle your guests.
Reach for the Skies
Also new: flying species! Construct towering, walkthrough aviaries where Toco Toucans, Secretary Birds, Golden Eagles, and more soar overhead. Guests can wander beneath the wings, observing natural behaviours in flight and on the ground — an immersive experience no previous Planet Zoo title could offer.
More Than Just a Sequel
This isn’t just more of the same — it’s a generational leap:
- Stunning new fidelity — fur, feathers, and scales rendered with unprecedented detail, with richer animal AI, authentic social behaviours, and emotional depth
- Wildlife Reserves — conservation extends beyond your zoo walls. Rescue, rehabilitate, and release animals into vast, thriving natural environments across the globe
- Cross-platform play — available simultaneously on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, with shared Workshop access and community goals
- All your favourite modes — Career, Franchise, and Sandbox return, alongside the new Planet Hub to oversee your growing global conservation network
- First-person camera — step inside your own creation and walk among the animals like never before
