Frontier Developments has confirmed that Planet Zoo 2 will be released on October 13, 2026 simultaneously for PC (Steam and Epic Games Store), PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
The sequel to the acclaimed 2019 zoo simulator brings the community's most requested features: complete aquatic habitats with species like blacktip reef sharks and hawksbill turtles, plus customizable aviaries for flying birds including the toco toucan. Players will also manage Wildlife Reserves, releasing animals into conservation projects around the world.
What this means
The Standard edition costs approximately $49.99, while the Deluxe ($64.99) adds six extra species such as the golden eagle, golden lion tamarin and great hammerhead shark, plus exclusive signage. Pre-orders include a bonus pack with themed items like the Toucan Eat Shop.
Pre-loading becomes available from October 12, 24 hours before the global launch at 14:00 UTC. The game marks a simultaneous console launch, unlike the original which arrived on consoles years later.
