Fall DLC 2023 Speculation

[Captain Callum]

Always love these early it's definitely coming this week thoughts

 

[synthetase]

I have a strange feeling we might hear something very interesting today. Maybe a special livestream?

If not today, maybe this week? Haha, I wish.

 

[Colehunter35]

Ok. Its time for predictions now, (even tho we might have already done some of this )
What does everybody think the pack will be? Not what we want, what we genuinely think?

What makes you think that?

Because Nutrit is secretly from the future and knows exactly when the DLC will be announced and released, but due to the space-time continuum, he can't tell is the contents of said update

Just for fun if it's in September then my guess is an Education Pack to coincide with kids going back to school

 

[Colehunter35]

Also what do you think the update will be?

 

[synthetase]

I wish I knew... I have no idea. What I want that seems most realistic, more biome skirts. City and coastal etc...

 

[DarthQuell]

Also what do you think the update will be?

To be honest, joking aside, I really think it'll have something to do with animals and guests interacting.

The update that came alongside the Grasslands allow butterflies to randomly rest on a guest's hands. The update that came alongside the Arid pack gave us spitting camelids. We also have animals that will knock over trash cans.

I wouldn't be surprised if we get a few more things like this, such as primates throwing rocks at guests, or maybe a feeding station, where guests walk up and an animal will come and take food from them

Also what do you think the update will be?

new parent and cub interactions. youngsters learning from parents

 

[nutrit]

Yeah that’s me exactly right now. Be very afraid

 

[Doran]

What does everybody think the pack will be? Not what we want, what we genuinely think?

I think it'll be one of two things, either a Temperate/Woodlands scenery pack, or a Highlands scenery pack. In both cases my dream Non-Walk throug exhibit would be a Bald Eagle, but what I actually think it will be I'm not sure.

Still shaky on the habitat rosters, but maybe:

Temperate/Woodlands
Tasmanian Devil
Northern Brown Kiwi
Wild Boar
Wisent or American Black Bear

Highlands
Wolverine
Spectacled Bear
Gelada
Markhor/Bighorn Sheep

 

[PnGLINNyo]

If we did, that would mean the pack would probably come out on Sept 5th. That seems really early to me. Even if it is a September DLC, I honestly don't expect to hear anything about it for another two weeks. Frontier is welcome to prove me wrong, and I hope they do

True, like the "outsource_lqa" last update was 7 days ago, so expect the earliest clue coming next week but most definitely not this week.

Temperate Pack

• Tasmanian Devil
• Reeves Muntjac
• Wild Boar
• South American Coati / Greater Rhea
• Hummingbirds (WTE)

Getting hummingbirds might explain why we didn’t get a WTE animal last pack, maybe they were spending more time on the hummingbirds?

 

[Utahraptor Arcanus]

I believe we are getting a temperate pack next, mainly because of the climate theory, which that said i belive the pack will be something like:

Taz (most requested animal at the moment)
Wild boar (essential for europe)
Some kind of carnivoran
Mallard (what? a dinosaur can dream)
Stag beetle for exibith or a giant salamander if we are lucky.

 

[AndyZoos]

In reality, I'm thinking we'll definitely get something "temperate." But I'm going to 'dare to dream' and shift my prediction toward what I want and lean into the communities potential reaction to the animals and free update features.

Treetops Pack:

• Tree kangaroo
• Black howler monkey
• Ocelot
• Aye-aye
• WTE: Macaws and toucans (or a slow loris in a more "standard" exhibit box; though maybe it could be more horizontal than what we have now)
  
  
• Scenery: Log cabin-style wall/building set, aviary roof pieces, additional mesh, various trees and foliage, general zoo clutter, new string light sets, rope bridge pieces, additional enrichment items

Free update features: Elevators, null elevated paths, new restaurant features

Thought process for the animal picks here: Tree kangaroo are highly requested, the howler would get people stoked to finally get a new SA primate, ocelot is the token carnivore, and the aye-aye would allow Frontier to talk about unique animations, etc. And obviously, getting birds of any sort would lead people to flipping out.

Temperate pack would be really fun, TBH, but my heart is with this one. Hah. Because of what a strong bounce back it would be from the Arid pack.
