Roller Coaster Tycoon has been one the most popular Tycoon games of all time and the fun continued with the same developers but a different name – Planet Coaster. Harvest Moon fans might be familiar with such name change as the former farming series is now called Story of Seasons. Today Frontier Games announced their latest tycoon game Planet Zoo in which player will build, decorate and create their very own Zoo.

Planet Zoo is a Tycoon game with a level of detail Roller Coaster fans would come to expect. The game features tons of customizations, and if the Theme Park Tycoon games are any indication, you will be able to create buildings from scratch, decide every trees and items location, build huge areas for your adorable animals to live in and just so much more.

The first Planet Zoo trailer shows off some of the customization levels in the game. But beyond the tools allowing us to create our dream zoo, the visuals of the game are also breathtaking. Amazingly beautiful animals with authentic animations help create an immersive world to play in.

One of the most, if not the most important part of the game is to keep your animals happy and according to Frontier Games, the developing studio behind the game, this is a difficult task. Players will have to make sure each animal has what they need to be happy. This means that decoration, environment, climate and more will play a role in the happiness of our fury ( or non fury ) friends.

If you are as excited as we are to start building our own zoo, you might be happy to find out that you can already wishlist Planet Zoo on Steam. The official release date is currently “Coming Soon”. We will be sure to cover any updates going forward!
