Press release:
Cambridge, UK – June 21st, 2022.
Frontier Developments plc (AIM: FDEV) today announced with great excitement and delight that the Conservation Pack” expansion is now available for “Planet Zoo” via Steam at the price of £7.99 / $9.99 / €9.99.

Planet Zoo: Conservation Pack invites players to discover five unique endangered animals from across the globe, and explore how their zoos can help them thrive. Przewalski’s Horse, the last truly wild horse, with its stocky build, once again roams the dry grasslands of Mongolia thanks to reintroduction efforts.

The critically endangered Amur Leopard, with its stunning cream-spotted coat, is the subject of innovative global breeding programmes. The vocal Siamang is most at home issuing its melodic call from high branches in increasingly fragmented Indonesian forests. The Scimitar-Horned Oryx, whose long horns are especially desired by hunters, is one of the most endangered species in the pack and is considered extinct in the wild. Finally, the Axolotl exhibit animal, a unique amphibian native to Mexico, whose aquatic habitat is under threat.

Along with the chance to care for and learn about these captivating new creatures, zookeepers can fully embrace the concept of a modern, self-sufficient zoo thanks to over 150 stunning new sustainability-inspired scenery pieces. From a vibrant backdrop of pollinator-friendly meadow flowers and versatile trees such as the Korean Pine, to sustainable maintenance props and environmentally friendly buildings, the pack contains everything avid builders need to create the authentic look of a bustling conservation-focused zoo.

Planet Zoo: Conservation Pack also includes a brand new timed scenario set against a breathtaking Mongolian-inspired backdrop. Budding conservationists must put their skills to the test as they work to protect endangered species against the clock. Time is of the essence, as Zookeepers are tasked with the rescue, rehabilitation and release of these animals, while also ensuring improved surroundings, guest education, renewable energy sources, and plant diversity remain paramount.

Of the Conservation Pack, Executive Producer Steve Wilkins said:
“The team are honoured to be able to bring Planet Zoo players closer to some of the world’s most endangered animals, and to highlight the important role of zoos in animal protection and education. We hope that the educational value of the game can contribute to the wider message around conservation and habitat preservation.”

Alongside the pack, players will also enjoy a free base-game update, which brings with it a range of extras and improvements, including animal chorus behaviour for select species, interactive education stations, and a new climbing enrichment, from which zoo guests can observe the Siamang’s fascinating brachiation behaviour, and more.

Please note the Planet Zoo: Conservation Pack requires the Planet Zoo base game in order to download and play. Planet Zoo is available now on Steam with an RRP of £34.99 / $44.99 / €44.99, Planet Zoo: Deluxe Edition RRP for £42.99 / $54.99 / €54.99. Additionally, for those looking to discover the delights of Planet Zoo for the very first time, Planet Zoo: Ultimate Edition is the definitive version of the game, offering every piece of DLC ever made.
