Zoo Tycoon was not the same company, so you can't really say this game should have something because another game did.

I'm pretty sure Frontier said they won't do aquarium animals. We might get some decorative fish tanks, but that's probably going to be it.

Good point Piperbird. Wasn't Zoo Tycoon made by the same company as the Roller Coaster Tycoon series? I believe it might be Atari, but i'll have to check. WAY different gameplay mechanics!

It was a company called Blue Fang, which I believe is no longer around. It's a shame, I'd love an updated version of Zoo Tycoon. It was a fantastic game.

Microsoft and Blue Fang created the Zoo Tycoon franchise. When Blue Fang closed, the rights went back to Microsoft.

I've seen people say that Planet Zoo is strictly a zoo simulator game, but I would counter that statement. Quite a few zoos have their own aquariums. I'm from West Michigan and I've been going to John Ball Zoo my whole life, and they have an aquarium building with penguins, a giant fish tank, and an indoor view of the water feature right outside the entrance. The best example may be Columbus Zoo & Aquarium out in Ohio. So I'm against the idea of making a "Planet Aquarium." Why make aquariums in a separate game when some zoos already have their own?

If they were to add at least one fully aquatic animal, I would wager on sea turtles. They've already included the Archelon in JW:E 2, so they could easily borrow the mechanics and rigs from that game and implement them for Planet Zoo. However, knowing Frontier, the largest they might do with marine animals are stingrays or manta rays. Still, there are loads of fish species (fresh- and saltwater) they can choose from, which could open the door to a new category of animals.

We still don't have an announcement for their "final" DLC for the PC Version, so we have no idea what they're up to. The likelihood of marine animals, however, is likely not gonna happen. I have a small hope that they continue support for the game after 2024, but I'm not getting my hopes too high.

There is a game called the aquarists lets you build aquariums with animals like the clown fish to the great white shark and everything in between. It is not the same i realize but it will satisfy the itch. I think we might have had but i am not saying that since they are now focused on the console version i think without saying we might of had our last one remeber they laid off a bunch of ppl before christmas last year and they have new games coming out.

What logic is your question? What does that have to do with anything? You said "also its a game there is nothing sim about this game". It is 100% a zoo simulation game. How is there 'nothing sim' about a simulation game?
