With less than a month to go until park management sim Planet Zoo whacks on a paper hat and toots out a party blower fwooooop to celebrate its fifth anniversary, developer Frontier has announced it’s be marking the occasion with more paid DLC and a free leopard for PC players.
Starting with the DLC, it’s called the Zookeepers Animal Pack and will introduce a further seven creatures for zoo builders to exhibit when it arrives on 15th October. There’s the Pallas cat, the Hamadryas baboon, the Markhor, Spectacled bear, African spurred tortoise, Coquerel’s sifaka, and finally, Kirk’s dik-dik – and, yes, I did let out a juvenile giggle at the last one.
All that’s joined by 95 new celebration-themed scenery pieces – including bunting, marquee tents, lanterns, and picnic benches – plus a brand-new scenario that’ll challenge players to prepare, manage, and pull off a five-year birthday party for the famous Frontier Zoo.
