Planet Zoo 2 is a construction and management simulation game developed and published by British studio Frontier Developments. It is the sequel to Planet Zoo (2019) and the fourth entry in Frontier's Planet series of economy simulation games.
Zoos span multiple globe-spanning biomes, built from four brand-new scenery themes alongside five carried over from the original game. Layered on top is what Frontier calls a "living UI", where an animal's state is read from how it behaves. Game Director Gareth Hughes offers the tiger as an example: an unhappy one turns lethargic, telling the player at a glance that its environment needs work.
The game is scheduled for release on 13 October 2026 for Windows (Steam, Epic Games Store), PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. Its headline additions over the original are fully aquatic species, fully flying birds, and Wildlife Reserves — customisable habitats outside the zoo into which players release animals as part of global conservation projects.
