This pack features 7 brand new animals, including the fearless Honey Badger, The playful Japanese Racoon Dog and the swift Blackbuck.

SEVEN INCREDIBLE NEW ANIMALS

Alongside the Honey Badger, Japanese Raccoon Dog and the Blackbuck, this pack also includes the mysterious Nilgai; Asia's largest antelope, the social Lion-Tailed Macaque, the unique looking Père David's Deer and the smallest subspecies of elephant in the world - the Bornean Pygmy Elephant. These stunning animals showcase some of the most extraordinary species Asia has to offer and will allow you to create must-see habitats that captivate all who visit your zoo!

OVER 100 VIBRANT NEW SCENERY PIECES

Featuring a wide range of Asian-inspired scenery, this pack allows you to blend the natural beauty of Asia with its cultural charm. Adorn your zoo with delicate flower lanterns and colourful benches then bring it to life with vivid light boxes and intricate decorative panels, which will be sure to create a lively, festive atmosphere at any zoo. Helping your guests experience a small part of Asia's vibrant culture.

A WONDERFUL NEW CAMPAIGN SCENARIO

Dominic Myers is back once again and this time he is determined to breathe new life into a long-forgotten zoo in South Korea. Dominic has formed an unlikely bond with a playful Japanese Raccoon dog named Nugget. Help them to re-establish the zoo and reconnect with the local community.

Planet Zoo: Asia Animal Pack is coming to Steam on 25th June and will be available at a later date for Planet Zoo: Console Edition. Be sure to follow our social channels for more information.

Japanese Raccoon Dog! Thank you so much!

Nice! Sadly there isn’t a bird but the riser ended up pretty nice. Disappointed that we have to pay for another species we already own.

 

[Marvinb]

Pretty decent roster. But where bird? ((
Mandarin and a pheasant were perfect fits

 

[USzoofan42]

Wonder if this is our final pack…

 

[FoxyDee]

Yay! Was really hoping for Raccoon Dog, I am so excited for them! Both Blackbuck and Nilgai are a really nice surprise, I was not expecting them both. This pack will be great.

Although I would love a pheasant in the pack. We need more birds!

 

[Moonfox]

I love it!!! So happy to see blackbuck and nilgai included

 

[The Aardvark]

Dang... The raccoon dog sure is disappointing.

 

[Leaf Productions]

That's awesome! Any news on the Free Update though? We have the Malabar Rose Butterfly but what else?

 

[Swjosdotschka]

I was about to say I will wait for a sale, then saw the Raccon Dog.

Thank you for two animals from my wishlist, Frontier. I am still very unsure about the elephant, but all models in the trailer look absolutely stunning (and now my beloved Indian elephant actually unfortunately does not look good anymore, even if I like the species more.)

The roster is decent, but another Asian elephant subspecies is a bummer (specially, as it doesn't even look a lot better than the one we already have). A bird is surely missed and at this point, even a green peafowl would have been better than than another elephant... but well, at least the animals shown so far look very good indeed.

 

[Chuditch]

Hell yeah blackbuck! It was fairly inevitable for this pack but that's the first animal that was properly high on my wishlist to be added since Oceania. And although I would normally be opposed to antelope double ups, blackbuck and nilgai are a very appropriate pairing so I'm fine with it in this case.

OH MY GOD THANK YOU OH MY GOD

 

[biggest_dreamer]

oh my god.

A great selection of animals on the whole - great to get Asian antelope like blackbuck and nilgai and I’m thrilled to be getting a tanuki!

But the elephant baffles me. I’m trying to focus on what it is than what it could be but Sumatran tiger, Asian lion, chital, kiang, any crane, duck or goose would make more sense to me. I don’t want to be too negative but I just do not get it.

 

[biggest_dreamer]

Both blackbuck and nilgai too I am shaking

 

[CaprinemasterAT]

Haha, funny, another canine (I think raccoon dogs are canines right?)
Overall this roster is decent, I like it. Blackbuck and Nilgai are obvious choices for such a pack, the deer is very nice, personally dont need the raccoon dog but happy for you guys who wanted it.
But let's talk about the elephant in the room. He looks really good and from what I saw also distinct enough from the Indian one. Still, I did not need it and I guess nobody really did.

 

[synthetase]

Also, the Honey Badger and Deer look amazing!

 

[The Aardvark]

I'm conflicted.
The Blackbuck is finally here, pretty cool.
The honey badger and macaque weren't too high on my wishlist but alright I guess.
The raccoon dog... Knowing that it's probably not going to climb and that it's the Japanese species/subspecies, is VERY disappointing.
The elephant looks good but is pretty useless.
The Nilgai and Pere David's Deer... I usually like ungulates, but this is feeling like Arid 2.0. on the other hand though, Asia was lacking some ungulates like deer and antelopes so it's fine.
