The Southeast Asia Animal Pack is also released alongside the new Planet Zoo 1.5 update, which includes custom billboards and allows for customisation of waterbodies, among a slew of other features. Perhaps I’m in the minority of Planet Zoo fans when I say this, but the story-based campaign challenges were some of the most fun that I had with the game, and while this DLC pack includes one new timed challenge, I don’t find these timed challenges to be anywhere near as satisfying as the story-based challenges. With eight new animals included in this release, it’s hard to criticise the Southeast Asia Animal Pack, however the glaring downside to this release is the lack of any new campaign or story challenges. Also, there’s enough weird and wonderful animals in the game now that my next franchise zoo will likely be a ‘freak show’ themed attraction park. I’m a huge fan of creating specialised theme zoos for the different regions in the franchise mode, and there’s enough new content in this pack to fill out a Southeast Asia themed zoo on its own. I adore this lineup of new animals and give huge props to Frontier for including the adorably ugly Proboscis Monkey among the new additions. These new animals include the Sun Bear, Clouded Leopard, Proboscis Monkey, Malayan Tapir, Babirusa, Binturong, Dhole and the Giant Malaysian Leaf Insect. The Southeast Asia Animal Pack includes eight new animals seven habitat animals and one enclosure species. What makes this DLC pack so remarkable is the impressive number of new animals included with the release.

Here we find Sun Bears and Clouded Leopards milling about gorgeous traditional Southeast Asian-inspired pagodas and temple architecture, deep within lush tropical biomes. So here I am once again to tell you that this latest DLC pack, the Southeast Asia Animal Pack, is an excellent addition to the Planet Zoo experience and is a great opportunity to revisit this fantastic zoo simulation phenomenon.Īs you may have inferred from the name of this product, the next stop on our round-the-world tour of Planet Zoo DLC releases brings us to tropical Southeast Asia. The cadence of release is just enough to draw me back into one of my favourite management games every few months with something new and interesting to check out. I need to give Frontier Developments a shout out for the way they have been supporting Planet Zoo by consistently releasing high quality additional content.
