Developers, Frontier Developments, behind the hugely popular Planet Coaster have today released their new installment to the franchise, Planet Zoo, available via Steam.
Frontier Developments have worked to create spiritual successors to two popular franchises now with Rollercoaster Tycoon and now Zoo Tycoon being the inspiration behind Planet Zoo. Promising to be a deeper and more powerful sim, Planet Zoo tasks players in building the zoo of their dreams, while also professionally managing to reach a variety of goals.
Frontier has stated that:
The bulk of modes will allow a variety of players to find a playstyle that best suits them. The game will still remain faithful as a management sim however, allowing players to have direct control of all aspects of zoo life:
The Game will also play host to online capabilities, with a strong community focus:
Planet Coaster was met with critical acclaim and garnered a large cult following for the theme park management sim. Planet Zoo seems to be following that trend with an already strong review round-up.
Planet Zoo is available now for $44.99, Planet Zoo Deluxe Edition for $54.99 or the Planet Zoo Deluxe Upgrade Pack for $11.99.
Our thoughts will be up later this week when our review is live.
