Apple Arcade is getting another new game this Friday when Zookeeper World arrives in the App Store.

Being an Apple Arcade game means Zookeeper World will not have any ads in-game and there will be no in-app purchases on offer, either. That isn't always something you can say about these kinds of games, unfortunately.

Zookeeper World combines fun match-3 gameplay with simulation features for players to create and manage their own zoo. Players will face a variety of challenging match-3 puzzles, collect coins, and place cute animals, equipment, and plants to increase the zoo's "Charm" to attract more visitors. As players respond to the requests of the zoo owner and visitors, their rank will increase, allowing them to expand their zoo. Players will be able to customize elements to their zoo, upgrade their animals to be unique, and much more.

Anyone looking to take the new game for a spin when it arrives can pre-register by heading to the App Store now.
