Planet Zoo Planet Zoo!

That is the beigest beige I ever did seeOr this:
I had a feeling it wouldn't, but it would be nice if there was a Planet Zoo-esque game on the Switch (or its sequel).
If we're down to the last year of support, I hope they go out with a bang, not a whimper. I suggest the following DLC's:
Spring- Children's zoo pack: child-friendly architectural theme, addition of play areas
Summer- Safari animal pack: addition of 4x8 and 8x8 exhibits
Autumn- Forest pack: cottagecore architecture
Anniversary animals (plus standalone aviary addition):
Winter- Zoo Treasures animal pack:

This makes sense, as it would allow to release the console edition with all the DLC without Frontier having to worry about updating it.
Well darn, the next DLC had better be a masterpiece or I'll be a little ticked off. -_-
The console version is launching with the base game animals (including Black and White Ruffed Lemur and Red Deer, but not yet Collared Peccary, which will follow later), plus the three animals that were the Deluxe upgrade on PC as a pre-order bonus. There is also a console Deluxe version that is the above plus the content of the Southeast Asia and Wetlands animal packs. The Deluxe version can also be purchased with a Season Pass to cover the remaining already-released PC DLCs, which states they will all be added for Console by March 2025.
As regards the PC version, the recent Frontier livestream contained the following exchange:
"I think some of our community might be worried that this could mean the end for Planet Zoo PC?"
"Yes, we've seen a lot of comments about this; can't say too much right now, but, I don't think we are quite done yet with PC."
"There you go."
"That's all I'll say."
"That's pozzy vibes, we like it, feel good about it, we don't have anything to announce but we think you'll still be happy with us!"
"Yeah!"
This only really allows two possibilities - one more DLC they think will be popular, or more than one DLC still ahead of us (basically dependent on how literally we take the 'quite'
).I'll assume one good one and any more is a bonus. Both Frontier's previous park sims (Planet Coaster and the original Jurassic World Evolution) ended with a slightly fancier and pricier DLC so if we see that at the next announcement then I think the message will be received. Until then, at least we know something is coming.
If they are looking for a 'big' DLC to finish as with their other games, something with 20 species would surely be tempting if it's feasible workload-wise, because they are on 180 in the game now, and 200 is a very marketable number...

indeed, if they add 20 species of the highly requested animals, we would have to wait until at least 2025 or 2026 to get a sequel but this time with the aviaries the community has been asking for years.
If I were to choose ONLY 20 animals to add in one final DLC, they would be...

The development manager of the Frontier just said the Planet Zoo PC is "not quite done yet", we may expect more than one DLC this year?
A friend of mine recently showed me his complete Animal Crossing museum and all I could think is Nintendo clearly has the assets to develop a Zoo Tycoon-style game by themselves; would be a smart avenue for them to explore.
I'm hopeful that they keep this going a lot longer. If PZ2 mean aviaries and tanks, that would be a huge improvement, but I also hope if they do a sequel they can take the time to simplify the interface some as well; that's something you can only really do in a sequel as opposed to dlc.
I had Zoo Tycoon 1 on DS! Is having a DS considered old now? I'm still in my early 20sFunny that you mention that: I actually had ZooTycoon2 on my DS (I know, I'm showing my age here, lol) as a child. It didn't have many species in it and wasn't as workable/creative as the computer version, but they did have something of the sort years ago
I still have my Zoo Tycoon 1 complete collection disc still in working order (no scratches etc) so really looked after. I am just keeping it now for nostalgia and childhood memories.
I really cannot wait to get my hands on Planet Zoo on console and get stuck into it.

I just watched the Frontier Unlocked #1 highlight about what to expect for Planet Zoo console edition.
One thing that was mentioned at the end was that they can't say too much just get but don't think they are not quite done yet with PC version.
This is quite promising if there will be a few more DLCs left for PC and likely added onto consoles later on. There are still a good few mammals I want to see get included plus a few more birds and reptiles.

Eh, I wouldn’t expect much more than a single dlc at this point. To me the “don't think they are not quite done yet with PC version” sounds similar to saying “my assignment isn’t quite done yet” right before writing my name on it, which isn’t a grand addition to a project.
