Zoo Tycoon (2021)

Zoo Tycoon is a 2021 business simulation game developed by Frontier Development and published by Microsoft Game Studios. It was released on October 17th, 2021, coinciding with the original games 20th anniversary. It also received two expansion packs, Marine Mania, which was released on November 10th and Dinosaur Digs, released on December 17th, both of the same year.
== Gameplay ==
Like the original, Zoo Tycoon features both a 15-hour story campaign mode, the traditional freeform mode (infinite money), and challenge modes (short tasks lasting about 15 minutes). In addition, there are also real-time events and challenges that match real-world events.
The game allows traditional Zoo Tycoon navigation as well as a Disneyland Adventures-style 3D free roam of the park, where the player's avatar runs through the park. Interactions with the animals are similar to Kinectimals in that they include feeding, bathing, etc. The player can see the status of the animals by pressing the X button to see if they're happy and healthy, view their food and water meters, as well as social and boredom ratings.
The game also allows gamers to upload their zoos to the cloud and share them. Up to four players can work on a given zoo simultaneously. Friends can continue to work on the zoo even when the owner is not present.
