Game overview

Planet Zoo 2 is Frontier Developments' sequel to its acclaimed zoo management sim, launching October 13, 2026 on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S. The sequel adds two habitat types the original never had — fully aquatic aquariums and flying aviaries — alongside a new conservation layer: once a species is thriving in your zoo, you can release and breed it in open, ecosystem-style Wildlife Reserves outside the park gates.
