Hayo Zookeepers!

Kick back and relax as we head towards summer with the new Planet Zoo: Tropical Pack, coming to you on 4 April alongside Free Update 1.13!


Venture through the depths of the tropical rainforest and take a look at the new friends heading your way!

Keep a keen eye up in the trees and you'll spot the Lar Gibbon leaping between the boughs, or maybe you'll even see a Fossa asleep up in the branches of the trees. If you head down to the water there are some new friends to be found too, such as the Asian Water Monitor slinking down the river. And look there, at the edge of the swamp! It's the Red River Hog basking in the sun - it looks like it's having a great time. Last but not least, we couldn't forget our new Walkthrough Exhibit mammal - the Brown-throated Sloth! They'll be sure to sloooooowly climb their way into your guests' hearts 💚

Alongside this, you'll get a range of new scenery items including architectural pieces inspired by places across Southeast Asia, and tropical foliage such as the Rafflesia, Pitcher's Plant, and Epiphytes!

Continue our ongoing story in a Planet Zoo Career Scenario as Tiffany has gotten herself into another pickle! This time, Tiffany's dad bought her a Zoo at auction and left it to her to fix up, and she's hired both Dominic Myers and yourself to help her do so - oh no! Can you help her turn the place around, and what is Myers really up to? Can he be trusted?

The Planet Zoo: Tropical Pack will be available for purchase for £7.99 ($9.99, 9.99€) on Steam from 4 April.

Please remember that you'll only be able to enjoy the Planet Zoo: Tropical Pack if you already own the base game of Planet Zoo.

Head over to our social media in the run-up to the Pack launch as we see the return of Zookeeper Steve! This time he's heading off on a research trip and is asking for your help in an unexplored tropical forest, keep an eye out there for the animal reveals. You can find us on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook. Also, if you missed our ✨special livestream✨ yesterday you can check it out here.

Join us on 4 April for a special charity livestream that we'll be hosting to celebrate the launch of the Tropical Pack and raise money for our friends at Chester Zoo! Chester Zoo is a world-leading conservation zoo that’s carrying out some vital, species-saving work. As a not-for-profit, the zoo ploughs everything into its conservation work, both in the UK and right across the world. The zoo is doing amazing things such as helping preserve Madagascar's rarest forest type, with Madagascar being where our new Fossa friends are from! We'll kick things off at 2pm BST on 4 April on both Twitch and Youtube, and we'll be joined by some friends both from Frontier and from our community. See you there!

To be honest, I don't even have a lot of words... but honestly, I'm a bit sad with this lineup. Tropical regions have the biggest biodiversity in the world, so this should have been a animal pack, in my opinion. The fact we didn't get a bird isn't great too, even tough I'm happy with the monitor.
And you honestly should have tought about a new world monkey instead of another gibbon. The inclusion of a three-toed sloth is also something I'm not too eager about, they are rarer for some reason...
But at least all of the animals are looking great

Nice!


  • The Asian water monitor is a very pleasant surprise. I know it's not high on everyone's list, but I for one love it!
  • Is that gibbon branchiating on lianas? That's groundbreaking!
  • And this new theme is already my favourite! It seems to have so many nice items!
  • The hog statue is incredible! I know some people will say it's like the Conservation statues, but this is exactly the kinda statues you'll find in places like Bali and the kind of stuff I've tried to make in-game for a long time.
  • Epiphytes! tropical zoos will get so much more realistic!
  • Is that a new barrier type?
  • I was expecting a monkey to be included, but okay.
  • Lots of tropical species still left on the list, so I'm hoping there's still gonna be a rainforest pack at some point.

I have a feeling some people will be disappointed with the animal choices (which I get to be honest), but I for one am extremely happy! Gonna take some days off to work on my Indonesian zoo when this pack comes out!
