Planet Zoo: Oceania Pack and Free Update 1.15 Out Now!

Hayo Zookeepers!

It's time to set sail and discover the Planet Zoo: Oceania Pack, out now! Grab the pack on Steam and update your game now to enjoy free Update 1.15.

Travel along the islands and meet the 5 new animals that you can welcome into your Zoo: the remarkable North Island Brown Kiwi, powerful Tasmanian Devil, resilient Little Penguin, adorable Quokka and our Walkthrough Exhibit animal, the magnificent Spectacled Flying Fox!

Celebrate the beauty of Polynesian influences across the pacific with over 200 scenery pieces to immerse yourself with. Discover the patterned Tiki decorations, intricately carved wooden pieces, a colourful arrangement of Flower Leis and vibrant decorative Boats with all their sails and oars! Amongst the kaleidoscope of colourful décor you'll also find a range of glow in the dark Faux Lava that are truly representative of the Oceanic region. Further enhance and decorate your habitats with an array of diverse foliage that thrive in the region, such as the striking Nīkau Palm, the hardy Golden Sand Sedge and the unique Silver Fern.

Put your zoo management skills to the test in a brand new Career Scenario located on The Chatham Islands, off the coast of New Zealand. This time you'll be lending a helping hand to Bernie Goodwin's family. Bernie's daughter, Emma is working on a super special conservation project and she needs your help to set things up, introduce plant diversity into the area, as well as establishing a breeding program to make sure all the insular species on the island continue to thrive for many years to come!

Check all of this out and more in the new Planet Zoo: Oceania Pack. For further info check out our announcement post and the full patch notes!

Update 1.15 is free and available to all players who own the base Planet Zoo game! Simply update your game now to play.

Free Update 1.15 also brings a brand new feature for your guests, Viewing Domes! This feature will give your guests an up-close and personal view of all your animals, some of them may even interact with the domes for a once in a life-time experience. To add this feature into your Zoo, just place a dome entrance on the habitat barrier and then place your Viewing Dome where you would like, inside the habitat. The Viewing Domes you place will automatically be connected to your dome gate and they can also be placed underwater to give your guests a truly breathtaking view. Just make sure you add water to your terrain after you place the dome in the desired location.  Definitely share with us all the unique ways in which you'll be adding these into your Zoos.

We've also got a few quality of life updates in the game for you to enjoy. You'll now be able to see your Bornean Orangutans swing around the thick logs with the added brachiation behaviour. Choose between the 1m, 2m, 4m, and 6m Climbable Logs to add to their habitats and soon so you'll be seeing them swinging around in your Zoos in ways you've not seen before! We've also got new colour morphs for the King Penguin from the Aquatic Pack and a Temperate Oceania biome for all modes.

Enjoy these unique island inhabitants and unleash your building creativity with NVIDIA's GeForceNOW service, which gives you instant access to GeForce PC performance on nearly any PC, Mac, SHIELD TV, Android, iOS device or Chromebook without any downloads! Make sure you can enjoy the Planet Zoo: Oceania Pack as well as Update 1.15, no matter what device you're on!
