It's FY25, FY26, and FY27.
FY25 = June 2024 - May 2025
FY26 = June 2025 - May 2026
FY27 = June 2026 - May 2027
So there's a range there.

2026 could defenitely be PZ 2. They are already doing some stellar upgrades in the PC 2 game that would also be good for PZ 2 like the updated pathing tool, the scenery/foliage brush and scaling. Already having these in PC 2 is gonna make it way easier to implement them and have more room for new additions. Aquatics would be a given. I think modular exhibits are also likely. They feel similar to custumizing flatrides in feature.
True, but I guess we would assume they always come out around november because its simply the best time to release a new CMS.
Yeah its a cool goat, but im i would still take the marten over it without hesitation
Nah. FY26 is locked in for JWE2. And they're going to want to give a bit more breathing room between ending PZ development and a sequel.
Yeah, especially since the giftshop hasn’t even been fixed yet.
Give me more education stations, combining them with the petting zoo stuff it’s good enough for me. At least for now.
So Planet Coaster 2, JWE 3 and Planet Aquarium/Planet Zoo 2.
My guess is this year is PC2, next year is JWE3 (to align with the Jurassic movie) and the year after that, November 2026 is Planet Zoo 2. If support ends this year that’s a 2 year gap. Planet Coasters gap between it and its sequel was around 8 years, and we would have 7 years (2019 to 2026). I find that frontier doesn’t really like to take risks with new games, they stick to what they’re good at. They know we want birds and aquatics and they know a PZ2 would sell, so why wait so long to make it.
Honestly I think even though (and I’m including myself in this) some people say they won’t buy a zoo sequel cause they put so much money in the first game, I think many will eat their words the moment they actually see birds and aquatics in a sequel.

Good point. If they also started out a roster with around what PZ had, they could have 72 animals total - divided four ways among aquatics, flying birds, standard zoo animals, and exhibit animals (which could be smaller birds, smaller aquatic animals and what we got with PZ).
Actually I make may a list with all that to see what I come up with.
The new IP title (which we can assume is PZ2) is planned for fiscal year 27, which is from september 26 to september 27. I know new games usually come out in novembre but I'd still think we should expect PZ2 more towards 27.
I'd wish PC2 would have a 3 year + lifespan, just because I wish the same for PZ2.
Lets assume we get birds with the new installment. That inevitably reduces the number of mammals we get... add a shorter planned game life cycle and you got me full on anxious.
I learned fiscal years in UK are slightly different
I guess the good thing is that everything not included in the pz2 basegame could be modded over from the first game
Yeah im 90% certain they start in may/june in the uk
I think when people see the improvements/tools provided by Planet Coaster 2 people will get on-board pretty quickly. All the new QoL improvements from PC2 plus whatever else gets developed in the interim, birds and/or aquatics, etc.
The sequel will do just fine.
That's not how it works. It varies from company to company. If you don't believe me, hopefully you'll believe Frontier!
"Frontier’s financial year end is 31 May with a half year end date (for interim results) of 30 November."
So each financial year is from June 31st whatever year it is through May 31st the following year.
I mean to be honest, the ability to scale objects would carry me over by itself, no matter what I said in the past.
Nah, I am fine with no flying birds. Also I see there's no way frontier will miss the opportunity to add Planet Aquarium. I spent way too much money, spending another 300 for flying birds is not worth it.
I mean, how many mammals would we be missing? Which mammals too? And how many birds are we talking about? Does less mammals also mean more reptiles, fish, and other animals?
This might just be me, but I think that could be kind of nice lol.
How about we get rid of every single animal people complain about in the DLCs and see how that turns out. No Dama gazelle, no Saiga, no black rhino, etc.
