Frontier Developments have announced the Planet Zoo Europe Pack DLC adding a host of new content for their zoo management game.

As with previous DLC packs, the Europe Pack includes hundreds of new scenery pieces and decorations, a challenging new scenario, and five new animals: the Alpine ibex, Eurasian lynx, European fallow deer, European badger, and fire salamander. You can find the announcement trailer below. The Europe Pack releases December 14th.

The new DLC pack will be accompanied by the free 1.8 update. This update will add restaurants, customizable “counter shops” that allow players to build small souvenir stands throughout their park, burrow mechanics for certain animals, and the ability to create memorials to pay tribute to animals that have passed away in your zoo. You can read more about the update here.

You can find a rundown of Planet Zoo Europe Pack DLC (via Steam) below:

Experience the beauty of Europe with the Planet Zoo: Europe Pack! Featuring five highly requested new animals (Alpine ibex, Eurasian lynx, European fallow deer, European badger, and fire salamander), these stunning European species will bring wonder and delight to your zoo. Expand with over 250 eye-catching new scenery pieces, challenge your zookeeper skills with the exciting new scenario set around a majestic alpine mountain, and bring the magic of Europe home.

FIVE STUNNING NEW ANIMALS
Welcome the Alpine ibex, Eurasian lynx, European fallow deer, European badger, and fire salamander! They make a total of four habitat animals and one exhibit animal. Construct ideal homes, and fulfil their daily needs, and these European natives will love their new surroundings. Enjoy watching European badgers resting underground as they shelter from the elements, and give your guests a rare view of them by setting up subterranean cameras to cast onto billboards. In addition, the Europe Pack comes with three new enrichment items to keep your animals entertained. Alpine ibex can use the Goat Climbing Mountain’s clustered boulders to display their nimble traversal skills; European fallow deer and Alpine ibex can enjoy meals from Scarecrow Feeders; and Eurasian lynx and European badgers can use the rough surfaces of Rubbing Pad Bark to scratch their itches. Existing animals can also make use of these items.

250+ BOLD NEW SCENERY PIECES
Build and decorate using fresh creative options inspired by picturesque European locations, including iconic cities such as Venice and Amsterdam. Erect ornate bridges over shimmering bodies of water; add native foliage including London plane tree, cork oak, and grape vine, and put up new medieval-themed animal signs. You can even ring in the holiday season with sparkling fairy lights and decorations – make your very own festive village or winter market!

AN EXCITING NEW SCENARIO
Al’s Pine Zoo’s owners want you to introduce as many different species as possible before the holiday season: are you up to the challenge? Try this festive new timed scenario and put your management skills to the test! Set at the snowy foothills of a towering mountain, this zoo contains three distinct zones based on Italy, France and Switzerland. To score highly, you’ll expand outwards from the mountain into these three country-themed regions and give your guests a European excursion they won’t forget.

In case you missed it, Planet Zoo recently saw its second anniversary – to celebrate Frontier Developments released a free content update adding the Black and White Ruffled Lemur and more.

Planet Zoo is available on Windows PC via Steam.
