Planet Zoo becomes Planet Petting Zoo in newly announced DLCApr 22, 2024 - PCGamesNZoos can be amazing places but one of the issues with them is it's rare you'll be able to get up close to any of the creatures living there. Most zookeepers tend to look down on visitors hopping into the lion enclosure, though most don't get to be in there for long. That's why petting zoos exist, filled with animals more suitable to be around us unwary humans. With new DLC releasing soon for Planet Zoo you'll be able to add a touch of pastoral life to your wild beast-filled enclosures. Read the rest of the story...

Arriving April 30th alongside our free update 1.17. Bring rural beauty to your zoos and let your guests get closer than ever to these beloved animals that have lived alongside humans for hundreds of years. Planet Zoo: Barnyard Animal Pack will feature 7 highly requested animals alongside over 60 new scenery pieces as well as a brand new Scenario! First up we have the Sussex chicken with its curious nature, beautiful plumage and energetic demeanour, from the Scottish highlands we have the stunning Highland cattle with its heavy rich coat, gentle personality and affectionate nature. Straight from the mountain range we have the playful, friendly and adaptable Alpine goat which is renowned for their agility and sure-footedness as well as the South American Alpaca with its distinctive slender neck, elegant posture and gentle, intelligent nature. This pack also introduces the brave and intelligent American standard donkey, the hardy Hill Radnor sheep from the glorious rolling hills of Wales, and the playful Tamworth pig. These friendly animals may even interact with guests if they are in the mood for attention! What better way to experience these animals than by adding a charming and rural feel to your zoos using straw bales as benches for your guests, or by placing re-purposed cable reel tables for those looking to stop for lunch. This pack also includes several picturesque fences and gates, alongside classic cast-iron water pumps, wells, wind pumps, weathervanes, and foliage which will be sure to make any habitat feel more homely. When you are ready, returning character Tiffany Summers needs your help as she embarks on a brand new journey to breathe life into a once-neglected farm. Team up with Tiffany to create a thriving animal sanctuary.

The Scenic Mode lets you record footage from one vantage point and allows you to further customise this with pre-defined camera behaviours such as spin, ellipse, zoom, spiral in and spiral out. The Cinematic Route Editor is a more intricate tool that will allow you to create animated routes of your zoos by giving you the opportunity to manually add key frames to areas of your choice. These key frames can all be connected or cut separately, still moving through a sequence to c...Planet Zoo: Arid Animal Pack Releasing 20 June 🐪Jun 6, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsHayo Zookeepers! Things are heating up in Planet Zoo with the new Planet Zoo: Arid Animal Pack, coming to a Steam Store near you on 20 June alongside Free Update 1.14! Under the harsh heat of the desert, life still arises and persists. Look out over the dunes and through the sands to discover some miraculous creatures who have adapted to the difficult conditions of these scorching lands. Be on the lookout for a Dromedary Camel wandering across the desert, while the elegant Addax and Dama Gazelle hunt for edible shrubs, grasses and leaves to snack on. Peer a little closer to the ground and you might catch a glimpse of the prickly African Crested Porcupine, or the shy and elusive Sand Cat. The Black Rhino can also be found munching on leafy plants, branches and fruit, while the well-adapted Somali Wild Ass rests in the shade to get some refuge from the scorching sun. Rounding out the cast is the sleek and impressive Desert Horned Viper, our Exhibit animal for this pack. The Arid Animal Pack is a celebration of the fauna living in the arid lands, with 8 impressive animals that all have ways to overcome the hardships of the heat. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34948692/901710bd76b56068023ec01b8dba8097408e965e.jpg The story of socialite turned conservationist Tiffany Summers continues in a ✨brand new narrative scenario✨ included in the DLC. You'll be joining Tiffany in her next adventure: building a zoo in the Middle East and throwing a big party for when it officially opens, celebrating all the wonderful animals you've taken care of throughout her journey. You can expect several animals from the Arid Animal Pack to show up in this new narrative scenario. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34948692/a7b490c3bffa74f0519096eefe64320fd67ab705.jpg The Planet Zoo: Arid Animal Pack will be available for purchase for £7.99 ($9.99, 9.99€) on Steam from 20 June.

Head over to our social media in the run-up to the release for the return of Zookeeper Steve! This time he's off on another research trip and has set up camp in an arid landscape to observe the animals living there. He'll need your help to document them all, so keep an eye out for the animal reveals as they come by his hidey-hole. You can find us on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook.

Don't forget to also join our launch celebration livestream on 20 June, where we'll be checking out the Arid Animal Pack in even greater detail, and check in with all the different animals.

Summer is fast approaching, and alongside the longer days and warmer nights, it's also bringing with it a new Planet Zoo update! Free update 1.14 will be making its way to you on 20 June - keep reading to find out exactly what's coming your way! Staff Flexicolour New season, new wardrobe! With the addition of Staff Flexicolour options for your Zoos, you'll be able to customise the colour combinations of your staff's uniforms, allowing for a whole new range of possibilities. These options will allow you to create custom colour schemes for your favourite members of staff through their individual info panel, or select different colourways for each staff type through the Staff Overview screen so you can get an at-a-glance overview of where they are in your zoo. The decision is yours! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34948692/631ed43762afc899f76681c4cdc65150eff1b77b.jpg Spitting Behaviours Guests might be in for a surprise next time they're a little too close to your habitats...some animals will now exhibit spitting at guests as a new behaviour! They'll be able to spit through some of the fences, and you might even be able to spot them attempting to spit through the glass walls of their habitats (eye emoji) Both the Bactrian Camel and Llama are capable of spitting at your guests in-game, so you'll want to keep an eye out to spot this behaviour in-action. Luckily, guests who experience spitting behaviours first-hand won't have their happiness impacted - how understanding! Scenic Camera Mode Lights, camera, action! With the new Scenic Camera Mode, you'll be able to create smooth vista shots throughout your Zoos. Just place the camera in your desired location and select from a few predefined camera behaviours like spin, ellipse, spiral in, spiral out, then further adjust the zoom and movement speed of the camera to experience cinematic views of just parts of your zoo or your whole zoo if you'd like! Cinematic Route Editor That's not all, for our nifty Planet Zoo community who love creating more intricate and compelling videos and views of your park, we've added a new Cinematic Route Editor! This tool will put you into digital animation mode, allowing you to add specific key frames to any area of your park that can all be connected or separated in sequence to create a unique and defined path for the camera to transition through. You can add as many key frames as you like and each key frame can be customised by changing camera position, rotation, focus, zoom or cutting directly to the next key frame. There are also some route settings you can add once you've created your key frame animation that include: hiding the UI whilst your route is being played, looping the route or changing the speed of the animation as a whole. It's a truly dynamic way to show off all your hard work to the world, so make sure you have a play around with it! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34948692/10b9aeb25921dec7dd1eb81a9062e197bbb5a9f1.jpg You will be able to access both these new modes i...
