With each DLC, more animals and sceneries get added to Planet Zoo's base game. This time is no exception!

Zookeepers Animal Pack

The DLC "Zookeepers Animal Pack" be released on October 15 and will be a paid-for DLC, which we expect will cost $10, like previous expansions. It brings seven new animals to the game:

  • Pallas cat
  • Hamadryas baboon
  • Markhor
  • Spectacled bear
  • Large African spurred tortoise
  • Kirk’s dik-dik
  • Coquerel’s sifaka

And alongside the animals, it also includes a few additions for your zoo:

  • Over 95 scenery pieces: These are decorative items you can use to improve the visual appeal of your zoo and celebrate the game's 5th anniversary.
  • Decorative bunting: Festive hanging decorations, likely used to create a celebratory atmosphere within the zoo.
  • Marquee tents: These large, likely ornate tents can be placed around your zoo, adding to the ambiance or serving functional purposes.
  • Lanterns: Lighting elements to illuminate pathways or certain areas of your zoo, especially useful for enhancing the nighttime environment.
  • Picnic benches: Seating areas where guests can stop, sit, and enjoy meals, enhancing guest satisfaction and adding to the zoo's functionality.
  • Additional seating: More options for seating throughout the zoo, allowing guests to relax and enjoy the surroundings.

There will also be a new campaign scenario, in which you will have to plan, prepare and manage a celebration within the game to celebrate Planet Zoo's fifth birthday.

And, alongside the paid DLC, they will release update 1.8 for the base game, which includes a free African leopard for everyone!
