Just thought I'd share that the Blue Tang is not in the list of animals for PZ2, it's been confirmed in the last trailer.

Happy World Parrot Day!

Since Planet Zoo 2 has recently been announced earlier this week and since today is World Parrot Day, I’ve decided to make a special parrot-centric post to celebrate World Parrot Day!

I might wanna see some parrots in Planet Zoo 2!

Should we all see some parrots in Planet Zoo 2?

Comment below to let me know!

I need to save my Steam money in order to get it vro

Frontier is revealing something at the Wholesome games direct on June 6th, and it will likely be for Planet Zoo 2

Description of the outlaw pack

Unleash the untamed spirit of nature’s most formidable rebels with the Planet Zoo: Outlaw Pack. This expansion moves away from the traditional, manicured look of modern conservation parks and dives headfirst into a gritty, high-stakes frontier aesthetic. Designed for zookeepers who aren't afraid of a little danger, this pack focuses on the "Outlaws" of the animal kingdom—species that have earned a reputation for being the toughest, smartest, and most intimidating residents in the wild.

The heart of the pack lies in its powerhouse roster of habitat animals. Leading the charge is the Kodiak Bear, a literal mountain of fur and muscle that serves as the ultimate heavyweight enforcer. Joining him is the Black Caiman, a prehistoric river boss that commands the murky depths with an armored, jet-black presence. On the more cunning side of the law, the White-nosed Coati acts as the agile bandit, using its high intelligence and sharp claws to navigate complex vertical environments. The Yellow-throated Marten brings a "mercenary" energy to the pack, proving that you don't need to be huge to be a fearless apex predator. Meanwhile, the Eurasian Eagle-Owl takes to the skies as the pack’s silent watchman, reigning over the new aviary systems with bone-crushing talons and an intimidating six-foot wingspan. Finally, tucked away in the shadows is the Gaboon Viper, an exhibit assassin equipped with master-class camouflage and the longest fangs of any venomous snake.

To keep these "badass" residents contained, the DLC introduces a suite of heavy-duty infrastructure. Forget standard wooden fences; the Outlaw Pack provides Reinforced Grade 7 Barriers made of heavy-gauge industrial steel and Anti-Climb Overhangs featuring jagged, inward-facing steel "teeth" to discourage your most daring escape artists. For the owls, the new Shadow-Box Aviary system allows you to construct modular, soaring towers made of rugged mesh, complete with Acoustic Insulation Walls to dampen the piercing screeches of your nocturnal hunters. Within the habitats, your animals will enjoy the "Outlaw Den" shelters—pre-built structures crafted from rusted corrugated metal and massive reclaimed timber that look like abandoned frontier mining shacks.

The gameplay experience is deepened with innovative enrichment and feeding systems. You can challenge your Coatis and Martens with the "Heist" Box, a complex puzzle feeder that requires tactical manipulation to unlock rewards. For the heavy hitters, the Industrial Carcass Chute provides a rugged, realistic way to deliver meals. Your guests aren't left out of the excitement either; they can test their mettle on the "Courage Test" Glass Floor, a path construction piece that lets them walk directly over the Caiman’s swamp or the Bear’s den. They can refuel at the Apex Grill, a sprawling restaurant built around a massive central fire pit, where they can tuck into the signature "Grizzly Burger" while surrounded by "Wanted" poster education boards and interactive Outlaw Bio-Facts stations.

From the low-lying Heavy Mist that rolls across the forest floor to the bleached Bone Yard scenery scattered throughout the enclosures, every detail of the Outlaw Pack is designed to feel raw and powerful. This isn't just a zoo expansion; it’s an invitation to build a high-security sanctuary for the most legendary outlaws nature has to offer.

Hope you like my idea

What are your thoughts?

On a scale of one to ten what will you rate this idea?

How much do you like it?

It sucks having no DLC and therefore having the walkthrough exhibit being literally useless besides one butterfly species, we pay for the game and then have to pay more to use features we already have? It makes no sense, add more base game walkthrough exhibit stuff, And more base game things in general! Fish should be in base game, more water stuff in base game and reptiles would be fun! Have the expansions expand on types instead of let us use them in general!

What are some features you'd like for PZ2 that aren't as obvious like birds and aquariums?

For me I'd like to see

• Improved exhibits - Different sizes and shapes, control over more details, being able to mix some species together

• Improved pathing - I think PC2 has some improvements but I haven't played it before

• Foliage brush/pre-made foliage clusters

• Guest interactions and feedings

• DIAGONAL PIECES

• Building QoL changes like being able to build diagonally on the grid

• More wall shapes

• Steam workshop. I do not want to use the frontier alternative

• Animal AI - animals move around less when they are comfortable

• Animal behavior and personalities - Make animals more unique instead of being carbon copies of each other

Hey y'all. I was just looking around, and I saw that the Photos for the restaurant are actually the Looney Bloons photos. Just wanted to let you all know.

OK, so I saw a manchild on Reddit insulting the developers and their other games all because they made Planet Zoo, which they hate ALL BECAUSE OF THE PATH SYSTEM, and I'm pretty sure they're gonna go on to attack the users on the subreddit for liking the game if they aren't banned.

I just want to put that it IS OK to hate the game, but it is NOT OK to insult the developers for a petty reason.

I'm pretty sure the Redditor's just a troll as that's their only post on Reddit, but I'm posting this because I'm just fricking upset with them. If I could bite back even harder I would but I don't have a Reddit account bc my mom exists and there's not a single piece of my soul that would let me insult someone for their opinion.

Goodbye.
