We never had two consecutive animal packs come after another.
Then why didn’t it happen sooner?
Fall DLC 2023 Speculation
- Thread starter Leaf Productions
- Start date
...I think the only reason that Frontier would go scenery-animal-animal-scenery in a year is if the free update included a lot of new features (that incorporated building pieces) and the animal pack was a total banger that utilized those features.
The only possible example I can think of would be birds. But even that feels like a stretch, TBH...

Exactly, we need a stronger pack to revive the community and get it excited again from the Arid Animal pack that left quite a few of us disappointed in some way. Scenery Packs are always spot on and deliver.
I've never been good at this... the outsource_lqa update mean that a Planet Zoo dlc is near, but like, how near? After the update, 2 weeks? 1 month?
A month usually
Ok, not so much time
Also I was editing a speculation video and wanted to post these, just because:
I really like these ideas for a possible Fall dlc! They both have waterfowls, it's a 100% buy.
Unless we get another sloth situation on our hands again
What is that as the exhibit animal?
It's tricky, because folks are clearly still quite invested in the game and hopeful about the new content. This thread is evidence enough of that for me! But I've also seen takes from prominent content creators implying the game's development is slowing down, and while that's true, I think that's been extrapolated into the general player base with folks assuming the remaining packs and free updates are going to resemble the Arid Animal pack (e.g., nothing particularly new or exciting as far as features go; animals that aren't particularly exciting).
And I don't really buy that. Not yet, anyway. I don't think they'll add some of the game-changing mechanics folks are clamoring for but I kinda refuse that they've come this far to let the game go out with a whimper and not try to futureproof it at least a little bit by adding more ways to customize things, y'know?
Maybe I'm too optimistic but I'm anticipating this next pack is gonna be a banger. Maybe it won't add new dynamics (e.g., flighted birds) but there's still plenty of hope for a strong animal roster and scenery items that create new options for customization and so on. Scenery packs have been their strongest suit for quite a while (though, honestly, I always find that I want more animals but that's another topic).
Lol. We got two scenery packs in a row so Frontier could capitalise on Halloween scenery with the Twilight Pack. The pattern hasn't changed.
Yeah I think these last two packs will be good ones. If we do in fact get a North American style piece set with a temperate pack then I will be over the moon. I love building realisticly and modern, I wasnt too big of a fan of the pieces in the tropical pack for that reason but thats my own personal preference.
I agree that no big game changers will come now (unless they are saving up for free flying birds but thats a lost cause lets be honest) however I still think we can get a lot of exciting animals in the future. Even if frontier were to just do clone animals they could still push out like at least 5 more packs, you know how many ungulates, monitors, canines, pinnipeds frontier can make without changing a thing to the exsisting models? Theres still so much more they could add to this game, and I really dont want a PZ2, by the time we get 16 DLCs Ive spent over $200 on this game, I dont wanna just scrap it all and start again.
To be fair without them switching it up we woudlnt have got the grasslands animal pack, it was worth the wait imo.
So the frontier annoucement in gamescom was warhammer sigmar release date in november?
