Expanding an Award-Winning Zoo
These new DLCs add even more creativity and animal diversity to the already stellar Planet Zoo: Console Edition. In our 4.5/5 review, we stated: “Not since Planet Coaster has a simulation game drawn me in so much. But Planet Zoo: Console Edition does so even more than its predecessor, all by being much more in-depth and engaging. It is impossible to not grow attached to the animals when you see them thriving in a habitat you have built for them… Planet Zoo: Console Edition is Frontier Developments at their finest, creating the best zoo simulation game of all-time, and one of the best simulation games in general.“
Whether you’re drawn to the charm of the farm or the allure of zookeeping icons, these new packs offer plenty of fresh content to enhance your ultimate zoo.
The Planet Zoo: Barnyard Animal Pack, Zookeepers Animal Pack, and the combined Barnyard & Zookeepers Bundle are all available to purchase now from the Xbox Store or PlayStation Store.
Let us know if you decide to pick either – or both – up.
