Planet Zoo is Out on November 5th, First Gameplay Showcased

Following the success of Planet Coaster and Jurassic World Evolution, Frontier Developments is combining the two elements into the admittedly cute Planet Zoo. At the PC Gaming Show, it received a release date – November 5th for PC – and will also have a beta this Summer. Check out the first gameplay trailer below.

Animals are highly realistic – their mood changes over time and they’ll play when bored. The plan is to create the most authentic animals yet, as per game director Piers Jackson. Your decisions will affect how they react and ultimately deal with the various crowds that are visiting them.

Research and conversation are also important, so you’ll have your hands full trying to manage everything. Along with keeping the animals happy, you’ll have to hire staff, manage them, and keep the zoo in tip-top shape. Stay tuned for more details in the coming months, especially with the beta out this Summer.
