Frontier Developments has officially revealed Planet Zoo 2 after a period of teasing ahead of a fuller announcement. The sequel to the park-building simulator is set to release later this year, with reports citing an autumn release window. The reveal trailer presents new content but does not extensively detail all gameplay systems. Across coverage, the key new features include added animal types—specifically aquatic species and flying animals—as major additions. Rock Paper Shotgun highlights the presence of aquatic animals such as mola mola, while Eurogamer emphasizes the broader mix of aquatic and flying species. Eurogamer also states that the game includes the ability to conserve outside of the zoo, indicating conservation mechanics that extend beyond the park itself. While details vary in emphasis, both outlets agree that Planet Zoo 2 is now in the open after earlier hints from Frontier, and that its planned release is later this year with notable additions centered on new animal categories and conservation-focused gameplay changes.
