You have no idea how happy this announcement makes me. Can't wait! I am very pleased it's windows only and will be very much like planco.
I can't even begin to express my excitement for this game! <3 Thank you Frontier!
Very interesting and promising news! The trailer looks great, although it's not really a representation of the look and functionalities in the game.
I think it's for the best that it's not a DLC for Planet Coaster but a stand-alone game. This way management can be focused on the care of the animals, instead of being an afterthought and shoe-horned in addition in a theme park game. It makes sense that some core mechanics were reviewed and altered, taking the feedback on PlanCo during the years into account.
I hope this doesn't mean the end for PlanCo (development and community-wise), but I look forward to having both games coexist and enrichen the universe they live in (Gulpee, Street Fox Coffee and Cosmic Cow should fit right in)

Question, is this game going to be using the same engine as Jurassic World? Cause I'm one of the few people who are still unable to play JWE cause of the mysterious Nvidia driver crash.
And given the fact that no one seems to be able to find the issue (or a solution other than buying a new GPU) I don't even want to get hyped for something I might not be able to play. But then again Planet Coasters works amazingly without any crashes (same with ED but that's a completely different game)

Not all zoos are bad. Most zoos in the US have huge exhibits, are loved, and the animals are well taken care of. Plus, Zoos take up a huge part of conservation efforts of animals and the places they live in. They also help inform people of what's happening with our planet and our animals and get them to take part in conservation efforts.

Amazing news! So happy to see the "Planet" game becoming a series now! Planet Zoo seems to look amazing! This is also great news for Planet Coaster itself - the game being part of a game series will support it's longevity!
I am really looking forward to this now , If it's as good as Planet Coaster then i can see myself spending many a happy hour playing this
I can't wait

This is something that makes me a little torn about the game, however it isn't a real zoo is what I'm telling myself. Plus you could build them to be as ethical as you want, I expect. It will be interesting to see what level of punishment and failures you get for not treating the animals correctly.
I can understand that but always keep in mind that this is a video game.
As a player you will have the opportunity to take care of them in the best possible way as you can and even send them to wildlife reservations.

That is a cool feature which makes me happy.
Unfortunately zoo's are a necessary "evil" to ensure the survival of many endangered species.
does anyone know if this game will be directx 12?
are we going to be able to build like pc?

Hi everybody !
I'm a zookeeper in a European zoo. I'm crazy about planet coaster and therefore I was looking forward to a zoological version. When I learned that the game was born I was over excited ! And then the trailer... The total disappointment. Me who thought we would finally have an ultra realistic zoological game...
It's always the same sauce as for Zoo Tycoon, Wildlife Park, Zoo Empire... with enrichments and ridiculous, unrealistic feeders. No animals do not play with giant footballs in zoos ! Again, there is nothing to build real night buildings (Backstages), greenhouses, aviaries, vivarium...
I hope that the game will be as faithful as possible to Planet Coaster, where every building, every scenography must be created with our own hands from start to finish. Judging the video, it seems that the buildings are already designed by the game as the entrance to the zoo. One more disappointment...
For the moment, I find that animals, especially brown bears, are not very realistic and make me think more of a cartoon... Always the same basic species (Lion, hippo, brown bear, ring-tailed lemur...) The animal world is not just about these species ! The only thing I had liked in Zoo Tycoon Ultimate Collection was that by clicking on a species we had many choices of subspecies or species of the same type. Perhaps it will be the same here ?
I am negative because I really expected a lot of this game, as something revolutionary but for now the trailer shows me the opposite...
