What is happening now
Planet Zoo is a business simulation game centered on building and managing wildlife zoos. Players design habitats, care for animals, and balance the operational demands of running a successful facility. Planet Zoo 2 has been shown off recently with new footage highlighting its wildlife reserve locations. The sequel appears to expand the environmental variety available to players, with environments like the Sumatran rainforest featured prominently in promotional materials. The new environments suggest deeper consideration for how different biomes and their specific conditions factor into animal placement and habitat design.
