Planet Zoo

COVER FEATURE

M

he next game from Frontier, the
creator of Elite Dangerous and
Planet Coaster, is a zoo simulator. It
makes sense, really. The developer
has created zoo management
games in the past, and it feels like a
natural extension of the Planet
series. But Planet Zoo it’s a very
different game from Planet Coaster,
with a focus on caring for animals,
ecology, and preservation over the
immediate, gut-churning thrills of
a theme park.
