Planet Zoo 2

About this game

Planet Zoo 2 is a zoo-building and management simulation where you create distinctive parks across global biomes, care for animals with individual needs and behaviours, and design habitats that support natural interactions. Its roster includes familiar favourites and new species, with fully aquatic animals and flying birds making their debut; build freshwater or saltwater aquariums and custom aviaries where birds can fly freely. Attract guests with engaging habitats, educational spaces, shops and amenities, then manage your zoo and use its income to expand. Conservation projects let you release animals into customisable Wildlife Reserves with ecosystems you create. Build with blueprints or piece-by-piece tools, plus scenery themes, flexible paths, and foliage and terrain brushes. Career mode follows FEN on a global adventure, Franchise mode lets you trade animals with other players, and Sandbox mode offers unlimited creativity. The cross-platform Frontier Workshop provides community-made creations to download and use.
