The consistent hot streak of one of gaming’s best sim franchises continues today, as a massive new DLC pack has launched in Two Point Museum to transform your facility into a bizarre wildlife sanctuary – Zooseum.
Two Point Museum: Zooseum, an ambitious expansion from Two Point Studios, has launched. This ultimate addition is now available on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC. It’s coming to Nintendo Switch 2 later.
This expansion is further proof that the franchise has plenty of ideas, taking the museum formula and cultivating it into something completely new: a wildlife rescue and rehabilitation Zooseum.
A Franchise That Keeps the Hot Streak Going
The anticipation for this latest content drop is immense because the base game itself is phenomenal. We rated Two Point Museum a massive 4.5/5 in our review, concluding that it was: “arguably the best in the series yet, and keeps the hot streak going for the consistently brilliant sim series.“
We also saw the quality in the game’s previous DLC, Fantasy Finds, which we called a “brilliant blueprint for DLC” because it included “many thoughtful additions which match the wonderfully creative feeling of the base game.”
Now, Zooseum is here to push that creativity even further, adding 100% more lions (and other animals) to the mix.
The Eccentric Vision of Wiggy Silverbottom
The game centres on the eccentric Kudoshillionaire Wiggy Silverbottom, who has permitted his stately manor to be used as a wildlife sanctuary. You must hire Wildlife Experts and manage the animals while they are homed, healed, and rehabilitated for release back into the wild – a Zooseum, if you will.
Your main mission begins on the Farflung Isles, a struggling ecosystem plagued by the Farflung flu. Rereleasing animals will increase the biodiversity of the islands and earn you Sanctuary Points, which help you adopt more animals in need of care.
Habitat Management and Complexity
This expansion introduces significant new management complexity to the core simulation loop.
You’ll manage 40+ Wildlife Exhibits, spanning both Habitat animals and Terrarium animals. You must manage five biome variants to keep the ecosystems running smoothly – a tricky task, as staff must understand that each creature has very specific needs and that “not all creatures get along… except the Unflappybara.”
The DLC introduces a new five-star campaign, two new dedicated rooms (Habitat Enclosure and Wildlife Welfare), new interactive displays, and adorable gift shop items to ensure your Zooseum stays profitable.
Free Seasonal Update: The Gingerbread Village
Launching alongside Zooseum, the Gingerbread Village Winter Seasonal Update is now available for all players on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox. This update brings a seasonal makeover and a host of free content for curators:
- New Exploration: Discover three Points of Interest across Winter Town, tucked away in the Bone Belt.
- Festive Exhibits and Customisation: Uncover five new exhibits (including a new interactive display) and deck your museums with jolly new customisation options for walls and floors, plus a sleigh-load of free decorative items like festive wreaths and nutcrackers.
- Staff Style: Staff can bundle up in two brand-new winter outfits, perfect for surviving the season in style.
Your Job Application Summary
- Massive New Content: A large, long DLC pack that adds a full five-star campaign.
- Genre Cultivation: Transforms the museum into a unique wildlife sanctuary/rehabilitation Zooseum.
- 40+ Wildlife Exhibits: Including Habitat animals, Terrarium animals, and the new Age of Dinosaurs update.

The habitats are being constructed, and the Unflappybara is settling in. If you’re looking for a large, long, and delightfully absurd new challenge that continues the brilliant legacy of Two Point Museum, the Zooseum expansion is ready for your unique skills on the Xbox Store right now. It should also be on PlayStation and PC.
