Today marks a significant milestone for the zookeeping simulation game, Planet Zoo, which celebrates its sixth anniversary. Launched six years ago, the game quickly garnered attention for its engaging management mechanics, earning a commendable 75% rating from PC Gamer, where Chris Livingston praised it as “Another strong (yet stressful) management sim from Frontier Developments.”
Hints of a Sequel
In honor of this anniversary, Frontier Developments released a celebratory video that has caught the eye of fans and industry watchers alike. While anniversary videos often fade into the background noise, this particular one stands out due to a tantalizing hint at the end, suggesting that a sequel may be on the horizon.
The clue is anything but subtle: the video features a countdown from 2019, the year Planet Zoo debuted, progressing through to 2025 and then extending to 2026. This sequence culminates in a transformation of the final number into a “2,” sparking speculation about a potential follow-up to the beloved title.
For those eager to dive deeper, the anniversary video is available for viewing on YouTube, showcasing the game’s evolution and the community’s engagement over the years. Additionally, fans can find a treasure trove of downloadable content (DLC) for Planet Zoo on platforms like Fanatical, currently offered at a generous 55% discount.
