Planet Zoo 2 Deluxe Edition questions
What do you get with the Planet Zoo 2 Deluxe Edition?
The Deluxe Edition is the full game plus six extra animal species and a set of exclusive animal signs for your zoo. The extra animals are the Axolotl, Blue and Gold Fusilier, Golden Eagle, Golden Lion Tamarin, Great Hammerhead and Longfin Batfish.
How much is the Planet Zoo 2 Deluxe Edition?
$64.99 in the US, £54.99 in the UK and €64.99 in Europe, which is $15.00 more than the $49.99 Standard Edition. These are Frontier's suggested prices; Steam lists the same US prices.
Is the Great Hammerhead only in the Deluxe Edition?
Yes. The Zoopedia marks the Great Hammerhead as Deluxe Edition content. The other sharks, the Blacktip Reef Shark and Indo-Pacific Leopard Shark, come with the base game.
Is there a Planet Zoo 2 Ultimate Edition?
No. Frontier sells two editions: the Standard Edition at $49.99 and the Deluxe Edition at $64.99, so the Deluxe Edition is the biggest one.
Can you get the Deluxe animals without buying the Deluxe Edition?
The Zoopedia lists these six animals as Deluxe Edition content. Frontier has not said whether they will be sold on their own, and it has nothing to share yet about future content.
