Planet Zoo 4th Anniversary & Update 1.15.2! 🎂

A lovely addition and one I'm bound to get some good use from. Much love for generosity!

Happy Anniversary and thank you to all those at frontier who have contributed to the game over the last 4 years. I know we all wait with open hands quite frequently, but it’s only out of love and adoration for what you've accomplished already.

I hope the team feels pride in the value we've all found in this space and their work, regardless of whatever plates are being spun behind the curtains. Wippi Abbonibo!
 
Hayo Zookeepers,

Wippi Abbonibo or Happy Anniversary! This weekend we're celebrating the 4th Anniversary of Planet Zoo, so of course we've got some exciting new things for you to enjoy in game 🎉🤩

Free update 1.15.2 will be featuring some brand new Anniversary content that is available right now, just update your game! Are you ready to see what other exciting things we've got planned for you? Without further ado, lets get into what's going on for this year's Planet Zoo Anniversary celebration!

Let's start off with a bang by introducing our brand new friend - meet the Collared Peccary!

The Collared Peccary evolved from pig-like ancestors in Europe and now have a significant presence in North America. In game, the Collared Peccary will be able to forage using the forage box and also be able to roll about in mud! We can't wait to see what kind of habitats you build for them in your Zoos. They are also very social creatures living in herds of 5-15, so make sure to add a bunch of them into your habitats!

Of course, what better way to celebrate a special occasion with none other than balloons! We've added a variety of four animal balloons which will be part of this free update. Designs will include the Orangutan, Black & White Ruffed Lemur, the Red Deer and the Collared Peccary. Just like the other balloons in game, guests will be able to hold them and they will be a permanent addition to the game, which we're sure your guests will love!

This time last year for our 3rd Anniversary we celebrated the launch of the official Planet Zoo Merch Store, so it only seemed right to make sure everyone celebrates in style again this year with a merch store sale. This sale will run for a limited time just for the Anniversary weekend so make sure to get your Planet Zoo swag now up to 25% off!

Of course we've got another limited-time celebration happening in game this weekend with a 24 hour Community Challenge from 3rd-6th November! In this special event, you'll receive a boosted animal that has an 80%+ in any gene, in return for every 5 animals you release (with a 1 in 50 chance of having Piebald or Albino colouring!) You will also gain a complete Avatar outfit for every 20 animals released - so both you and your animals will look, oh so stylish!

Make sure to stay tuned on all our social channels as we'll also be hosting some giveaways over there too! You can find us on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and now officially on TikTok!

As always we can't end this post without thanking YOU, our amazing community that have been here and supported Planet Zoo for the past four years. Planet Zoo wouldn't be the same without each and everyone one of you, so thankyou! 💚

The peccary looks amazing - stellar choice! Thanks, as always, Frontier for the hard work and gorgeous content. This game has been a positive force in my life since its release and has inspired hours upon hours (months, really) of creativity and conversation. It really means a lot to me and so many. And a big part of that is the community managers so special shout-outs to them!

Wishing a bright future for all involved in the game past, present, and future.

Happy 4th Anniversary Planet Zoo and hopefully many more great years to come for it!!! Also....yay!!! We finally have the Collared Peccary aka "Javelina"! I've been wanting this bad boy since just the base game for my Sonoran Desert section of my Phoenix Zoo.
😁
Us living in Arizona, my grandma though absolutely hates them. They are a absolutely menace to her property and my dad seen a few go by our neighborhood though rarer where we live in the city and not on the outskirts!
😅


I'm loving the new balloon additions as well!!! You can never have enough variety of balloons! 😅
