Planet Zoo grows cold with its first DLC

Frontier has announced that Planet Zoo, the latest simulation from the studio, is getting its first DLC pack and with a name like Arctic Pack, you should know what to expect. Included in it are four new animals, a couple of new scenarios and more foliage and scenery then you could shake a stick at.

On December 17th, players will get to enjoy adding the graceful Arctic Wolf, majestic Polar Bear, wintery Reindeer and hardy Dall Sheep to the already impressive list of habitat animals available to players to breed, research and raise within their hand crafted and unique zoos.

Two new arctic themed scenarios will set a series of challenges, focusing on expanding and maintaining existing zoos while ensuring animal welfare and educating guests. The mountainous and snowy tundra biome, based in Norway and featuring the Aurora Sky, and the arid desert biome in Mexico, will challenge and delight players.

In addition, the paid content will launch alongside a free update containing a range of new features for existing players; a new aging slider to slow the animal life-cycle, immediate family members have been added to the animal info panels, new heat maps including crime and inbreeding, new nature assets, enrichment items and a range of fixes and improvements.
