PLANET ZOO Beta Now Live thru Oct. 8

 
Cambridge, UK – Frontier Developments plc has released the Planet Zoo beta into the wild, featuring access to the brand new Career mode and the online supported Franchise mode. The beta is available for those who pre-ordered the Deluxe Edition, with the full release on November 5, 2019 and is expected to run until 5pm BST / 6pm CEST / 9am PDT on October 8.
 
Ahead of the full launch on November 5, the Planet Zoo beta will teach budding keepers how to make their dream zoo a reality, guiding them through everything from habitat design to animal welfare. Featuring Career and Franchise modes, players will visit two locations and learn to care for over 30 animals.
 
Planet Zoo’s beta begins with the new narrative-driven Career mode that sees players begin their journey in the Temperate Biome as they learn to manage and expand an existing zoo, building habitats, adopting animals and tackling a range of Bronze, Silver and Gold objectives. Franchise mode visits the Savannah biome for a deeper simulation with an open sandbox map and the full economy, as well as online connectivity with the Planet Zoo community.

The beta will feature a Community Goal that will be announced soon. 
 
The Planet Zoo beta will feature a range of wildlife from around the world across both modes, including the West African Lion, Reticulated Giraffe, Bengal Tiger, Snow Leopard, and Galapagos Giant Tortoise, with over 30 animals total, each with unique traits and personalities.
