Hayo Zookeepers!
Phew, June was a busy month with lots to share about Planet Zoo 2, from showcase appearances to a trip down memory lane.
We're only just getting started with Planet Zoo 2, but let's take some time to catch up on everything that happened this month!
Showcase Season
Hot on the heels of Planet Zoo 2's full announcement at the tail end of May, we were back via the Wholesome Direct with an extended look at a cosy Grey Wolf habitat:
Bear-ly a moment to rest, we made an appearance in the PC Gaming Show the very next day when we debuted Planet Zoo 2's gameplay trailer:
Reactions to Planet Zoo 2
The team have been delighted to read and watch the reactions from all across our community as we shared more about the game. Our community means so much to us and we've been overjoyed reading all your positive reactions to the first few looks at Planet Zoo 2.
"It's evident that Planet Zoo 2 is going to be the greatest zoo creation simulation ever" PC Gamer
"It seems like Frontier has knocked it out of the park with this sequel" Gamereactor

How Did We Get Here?
Last week we took some time to reflect on the long journey to Planet Zoo 2, including how our community has played an invaluable role in shaping the Planet Zoo experience right from the beginning.
This has put us in something of a nostalgic mood, so we're also asking you to share some of your favourite moments and memories of Planet Zoo with us on social media – we'd love you to let us know what Planet Zoo means to you!
What's that skip? Somewhere you can discover all the animals coming to Planet Zoo 2, with weekly reveals and interesting facts? Sounds like the new Zoopedia!
