KS: Animal conservation is a core value in Planet Zoo, so with this pack we’re honored to be able to further highlight its importance and bring awareness to some of the world’s most endangered animals. SP: How challenging was it to create an experience that’s respectful to the sometimes-difficult topics of animal conservation and extinction while also maintaining fun gameplay? Przewalski's horse, for example, was a natural choice for us, being high on our community’s wishlist and the subject of real-world conservation efforts that mean it has now been reintroduced to the wild. The animals we have chosen for this pack are species on the brink of extinction and species that had already gone extinct and are managing a comeback through the help of zoological breeding projects. We are also always keen to take the requests of our amazing Planet Zoo community into account so that with each pack we’re bringing a selection of highly requested animals into the game.Īs mentioned, conservation is a highly important aspect of modern zoos, and something we wanted to bring awareness to. KS: When working on the animal list for Planet Zoo DLCs, we do plenty of research before making our final choices! For the Conservation Pack, we considered endangered animals based on their general appeal, unique appearances or features, as well as their captive populations and significance in the sphere of conservation around the world.

SP: How did the team decide which animals to feature in this pack? Planet Zoo: Conservation Pack features five fascinating endangered species, a wide range of eco-inspired scenery pieces, and an exciting timed scenario, which tasks zookeepers with a rescue and rehabilitation operation. Both of these are already important aspects of Planet Zoo’s gameplay, so we really wanted to elevate this with a dedicated pack. Our aim with the Conservation Pack is to highlight the important role real world zoos play in maintaining and saving the planet’s biodiversity through their rescue, breeding, and reintroduction programs, as well as educating their guests. Kilian Schmitt: Our DLC to date have indeed focused on specific regions and types of habitat, for example the recent Wetlands Animal Pack, which focused on the diverse wetland biomes around the world. What inspired the team to switch things up and create a pack focused on endangered species and conservation? SuperParent: Planet Zoo offers lots of downloadable content packs inspired by different geographical areas and biomes. SuperParent had the chance to chat with Kilian Schmitt, game designer for Planet Zoo, about the Conservation Pack DLC: You can learn more about the game in our previous coverage.
