We've been envious of the fantastic Planet Zoo ever since it first launched on PC back in 2019, but we're finally now getting an Xbox Series X and Series S version of it, with the "Console Edition" set to release on March 26th, 2024.
If you haven't heard of it, this is a simulation game from the Planet Coaster team, in which it's your job to manage your own elaborate zoo - which includes taking care of your animals and entertaining your guests along the way.
"Build a world for wildlife in Planet Zoo. From the developers of Planet Coaster and Zoo Tycoon comes the ultimate zoo sim, featuring authentic living animals who think, feel and explore the world you create around them. Experience a globe-trotting campaign or let your imagination run wild in the freedom of Sandbox mode. Create unique habitats and vast landscapes, make big decisions and meaningful choices, and nurture your animals as you construct and manage the world’s wildest zoos."
Planet Zoo: Console Edition for Xbox will launch at a price of £39.99 / $49.99 this March, and anyone who pre-orders the game can get three exclusive animals: the Pygmy Hippopotamus, Komodo Dragon, and Thomson’s Gazelle.
Alternatively, a Deluxe Edition is available for £49.99 / $59.99 featuring 16 additional animals and two additional scenarios, and an Ultimate Edition (£99.99 / $119.99) adds a Season Pass granting access to 14 future DLC packs.
We'll throw a few console-specific screenshots of Planet Zoo: Console Edition down below.
