In addition to the DLC, a free update (version 1.18) will also be released on October 15th, featuring an African Leopard as a new addition to the game. This update will also include some free hats (not for the leopard) and the jelly cake enrichment tool.

While Frontier has not revealed any future plans for Planet Zoo post-anniversary, fans can look forward to the upcoming release of Planet Coaster 2 on November 6th for PC, Xbox Series X/S, and PS5.
