Frontier, the developer behind Elite Dangerous, has just unveiled the next wing of your very own animal menagerie with the South America Pack for Planet Zoo.
Due to hit PC, the second DLC for Planet Zoo is the second DLC for this huge management simulation. Five new iconic animals will join the roster of available critters on show in the latest expansion while a massive 250 new scenery pieces will be available to zookeepers. Each of the new additions is inspired by the lush environments of South America. Visitors will get up close and personal with the beautiful Jaguar, mischievous Capuchin Monkey, unique Giant Anteater, wonderful Red-Eyed Tree Frog, and the friendly Llama.
