As for Tycoon games, the Zoo Tycoon series is undoubtedly the most well-known one. Many game companies have tried to recreate the reputation and success of the first "Zoo Tycoon" for many years. Today, Frontier (Tencent Strategic Investment), a British game developer who developed "Planet Coaster", has launched the new "Planet Zoo". The related game pages are currently online on the Steam platform, and the specific launch date is not yet determined.
According to the Steam game page, "Zoo Star" will bring you the ultimate zoo simulation game experience. Build fine animal habitats, manage zoos, and see lifelike, thoughtful and emotional animals to explore the world you create. In the official announcement, Frontier suggested that the main focus of the game is not to satisfy tourists or make as much money as possible, but to the players be responsible for managing a truly modern zoo, and protecting animal welfare is the first priority.
Frontier wrote on its website today: "Zoo Stars showcase the most real animals in the history of video games. From naughty young lions to powerful elephants, every animal in the zoo is an independent individual who can think, feel, and explore the world around them. They care about their surroundings and each other, and their environmental and social needs. You need to care, nurture, research and manage these animals, watch them thrive, and help them cultivate young people to pass their genes to their offspring."
As a simulated business game, it also has a wealth of construction tools in Zoo Stars. Players can use these tools to create their own unique zoo, and every innovative decision by players will affect the lives of animals and the park experience of tourists. In the game, players can chisel out lakes and rivers, shape hills and ridges, pave roads, carve caves, and use numerous unique themes and hundreds of architectural components to create an amazing zoo.
In addition, the game also supports the Steam Creative Workshop, where players can share their animal habitats, scenery, and even the entire zoo. Watch your original design appear in zoos for players around the world, or explore new content from the Zoo Star community every day.
