Planet Zoo 2’s gameplay reveal shows how to manage the new aquariums and aviaries
Planet Zoo 2, the successor to Frontier Developments’ 2019 management simulation Planet Zoo, has received its first major gameplay reveal at the PC Gaming Show. A new trailer debuted at the show, providing a first look at how players will manage the game’s expanded zoo systems.
A significant expansion for the sequel is the introduction of new aquariums and aviaries, alongside the existing terrestrial animal management. This represents a major scope expansion for the franchise, as the original Planet Zoo focused primarily on land-based animals. The new aquatic and avian environments expand the types of animals players can manage and care for within their virtual zoos.
The gameplay trailer demonstrates the mechanics and tools players will use to create and maintain these new enclosure types. The broader concept captures all aspects of a complete zoo experience—managing land, sea, and air environments within a single game.
As a management simulation, Planet Zoo 2 appears to maintain the core formula of the original while substantially expanding the gameplay variety and scope. The reveal at The PC Gaming Show positions the game prominently among upcoming titles in the simulation genre.
Players interested in following the game’s development can wishlist Planet Zoo 2 on its dedicated Steam page, where additional information and updates about the sequel are available.
