BUILD A WILDER WORLD THIS OCTOBER IN PLANET ZOO 2 WITH AQUATIC AND FLYING SPECIES

Frontier's iconic animal management simulation returns with customisable wildlife reserves and cosy creativity at its core

Frontier Developments plc (AIM: FDEV) are excited to announce Planet Zoo 2. Building upon the critically acclaimed and beloved Planet Zoo, this sequel features both aquatic and flying species, alongside a deeper conservation focus. Planet Zoo 2 will launch on PC, PlayStation®5, and Xbox Series X|S on 13 October 2026. 

Let creativity soar in Frontier's most advanced zoo simulation game to date. Planet Zoo 2 introduces new awe-inspiring animals, plus, for the first time aviaries and aquariums! Zookeepers are tasked with constructing beautiful habitats where authentic species can fully interact with their environments. What's more, players can now take conservation outside of their zoos, restoring natural habitats and releasing animals into Wildlife Reserves. Planet Zoo 2 represents a generational leap forward in animation and animal behaviour.

From high-fidelity fur, feathers, and scales through to authentic behaviour and brachiation, in Planet Zoo 2, players will encounter a wide range of animals, each with their own needs. Meeting these needs will require Zookeepers to craft habitats that mirror species' natural environments, creating an authentic home for the animals and an amazing experience for the guests. 

A new world beneath the water awaits Zookeepers with fully aquatic species making their debut with a splash. Black-tipped Reef Sharks, Hawksbill Turtles, and colourful shoals of fish are just a handful of the fresh and saltwater animals joining Planet Zoo 2. Notably, aquariums are not simply placeable tanks but fully customisable habitats that grant players control over scenery, location, and more. Plus, Zookeepers will have to ensure their aquariums are kept in top condition with filtration and an airlock for staff to enter. 

Frequent flyers also enter the fold with aviaries featuring a mix of bright and brilliant fully flying birds, including the vibrant Toco Toucan and majestic Secretary Bird. Like aquariums, aviaries are fully editable, with players able to place scenery as they please. Aviaries introduce support poles which allow players to generate habitat covers at the click of a button. Plus, Zoo guests can even walk through suitable aviaries, creating opportunities for guest entertainment. 

Conservation in Planet Zoo 2 goes further than ever before. Zookeepers will take on conservation projects across the globe, revitalising expansive Wildlife Reserves and creating living ecosystems by releasing animals into their natural habitats.

From ensuring animals are kept in habitats that mirror their natural environments to creating immersive spaces for zoo guests to interact and learn, Planet Zoo 2 offers players a meaningful management experience. From managing staff morale and training to constructing the perfect habitat, it's vital for budding Zookeepers to balance guest satisfaction with animal wellbeing in order to boost their rating and ensure their zoo becomes a roaring success as it grows. 

From today, players who pre-order will receive the Bonus Content Pack at launch, which includes the Toucan Eat Shop and Signage, three Unique Animal Donation Bins, and the Tiger Photo Stand-In Wall.

Dedicated Zookeepers looking to expand their animal conservation efforts further can purchase the Planet Zoo 2: Deluxe Edition, which bundles the Planet Zoo 2 base game alongside the Planet Zoo 2: Deluxe Upgrade Pack. This introduces an additional six animal species from across the globe, as well as a selection of exclusive animal signs to decorate their park.

Planet Zoo 2 will be available on PC, PlayStation®5, and Xbox Series X|S for a suggested retail price of £39.99/$49.99/€49.99 for the Standard Edition, and £54.99/$64.99/€64.99 for the Deluxe Edition.
