Planet Zoo is set to keep the fun going when the sun goes down, with the new Twilight Pack
Frontier have announced that on October 18, a new free update and paid DLC will be arriving to Planet Zoo, bringing with it a host of updates and some new critters to enjoy.
The paid DLC is that of the Twilight Pack, which will add the rascally Raccoon, whose signature black mask enhances its vision; the cunning Red Fox, with its razor-sharp hearing; the inquisitive Common Wombat, with its infamous cube-shaped droppings; the solitary Striped Skunk, whose pungent spray deters certain pesky predators; and the sociable Egyptian Fruit Bat Exhibit Animal, whose walkthrough exhibit will excite guests as wings swoop above their heads.
In addition to these captivating critters, zookeepers can unleash their creativity with over 200 pieces of eerie scenery including castle-inspired building pieces; complete with grinning gargoyles, and even a portcullis. Adding even more atmosphere to players’ zoos is a range of petrifying plants, including the twisted Bristlecone pine tree, shade-loving Ivy and bioluminescent ghost fungus. Share the spooky spirit with guests with the help of glowing pumpkins and bubbling cauldrons.
The update will also bring with it an all-new Career Scenario, the first since the debut DLC for the game. In this new scenario, you will be tasked with transforming a mysterious zoon, that is found within the depths of Transylvania. They’ll be able to adopt and care for inquisitive animal arrivals, build spooktacular habitats, and restore the zoo to its former glory.
For those players who can’t get the paid DLC, a free update will also release on that day, which brings a range of features and enhancements, including the ability for Educators to hold exhibits during animal talks. Alongside a number of quality-of-life updates, players can now get even more creative with their exhibits thanks to customisable 2D backdrops, as well as marvelling at stunning piebald colour variants for select species.
