You're better off waiting for December. If the theory holds true, the wolverine is a perfect contender to headline a 'Continental/Tundra Pack' come winter.
Fall DLC 2023 Speculation
- Thread starter Leaf Productions
- Start date
I feel like they’ll save it, even though we have gotten two top 10 meta animals in packs, I don’t think they would give us the top 2 animals at the same time. I think they’ll save it for a highlands pack in the winter and give us Tassie and the kiwi instead.
Well, it kinda was since the questions were why people jumped to the conclusion of NA centered Temperate Pack.
I wouldn't call the Climate Map evidence, a pattern of clues at best. With that said, since how little we actually know, it's the only clues we've got so it's absolutely likely. Harder to say if it's going to be NA centered or not, but I guess there's gotta be at least one NA species in it.
No it wasn't. The question was why people think a Temperate Pack will be North America centred.
That is what we call 'evidence', my guy.
Anyway, we aren't detectives, we make do with what we've got, and right now, "Tropical" and "Arid" together point to the Koppen map. If "Arid" was "Desert", then the theory would be weaker, because it would point to a continuation of in-game biomes, but the choice of "Arid" for the pack's title is conspicuous given that it follows "Tropical". This is literally the strongest theory I've actually ever encountered for predicting DLC since the game launch.
Doesn't mean it's assured, nothing ever is, but even so. I'd bet on it, if there was a pool.
It wasn't put in that way, but that makes sense.
That's not the definition of evidence, but the rest I completely agree with. Will be interesting to see what they "shake" and are "mixing" during the livestream if this is the theme we are getting.
Clues = evidence. If you're investigating a murder a bloody footprint is both a clue and evidence.
A clue pointing towards a hypothesis in a scientific experiment is evidence that the hypothesis is correct.
You are right, I misread the initial question.
I get your examples but they doesn't really work in our context. Here i think it's more like clues = leads and evidence = proof. The two most recent DLC's have followed the Climate map, that's a clue/lead that Frontier potentially could continue that pattern, but it's not evidence/proof that they will.
Yeah that's how it works here. When we get people asking for evidence, they are asking for official information that frontier has provided us. Best example is hints in a special livestream or a social media post as evidence this is the next pack. Picking up hints on the trend of dlc releases is not evidence because frontier can immediately switch patterns half way through the year.
Yeah, that's more in line with my definition of the two words but we probably shouldn't hang up on that since it doesn't really have that much to do with the DLC.
So to answer your question in the simplest way possible, all we have is a potential pattern, not official evidence.
I'm not sure baking would come under the term of shaking, shaking is definitely more drink related but it could just be a change of pattern that we could all be overthinking.
Yeah, it was the combination of shaking and mixing that made me think of cocktails. But as you say, this is very likely to be overthinking.
I don't think you understood what I was trying to say. While some people just don't agree, there is, in fact, hate towards it. Many people have stated that it's a "wasted slot", a useless animal. They aren't simply saying: I just don't like it. Then they talk about how bad a black bear would be.
My point was that the instant it's brought up, it gets shot down. I know that the spectacled bear is also asked for, but seriously, y'all, if we can accept the blue wildebeest, why not the American black bear? It just seems contradictory to what many comments here are saying
While I agree that temperate is probably the most likely pack, I’d rate it a loooong way from certain - at best I’d give it a 33% chance if being correct…. Possible packs with significant possibilities (% chances solely my vague guess based on virtually nothing) are (imo, and probably leaving something out):
Temperate: (20%)
Islands (15%)
Highlands (15%)
Something non-biome related - like conservation was (%15)
Birds (10%)
Children / petting (10%)
Arboreal (5%)
Something else not on this list (%10)
So, to sum up, I don’t know and I don’t think anyone else does either (outside Frintier, obviously)
Edit: most of the ‘evidence’ I’ve seen has been about as convincing as reading tea leaves.

I'm not even sure Frontier knows. I think they have all the animals made and then on the very last second they put together the only combination that we haven't mentioned in the forum and that's what they announce
.8 Animals Pack + Scenery Pack together, it would be very nice... but I doubt that to happen lol
Let's be honest, there's probably not a single thing Frontier (or any other company) could do that would make everyone happy. Including making all future animals free - I'm sure some people would see that as an excuse for not putting in Avian or Marine animals because the work would outweigh the "cost".
As much as I'd love the wolverine first, this would be okay with me. I'm kind of feeling like as long as we get either the Tasmanian Devil, Wolverine, or flying birds I'll be very happy. I don't foresee the last happening but I really like feel if it's not birds or marine animals, we're going to see either the Tassie or Wolverine in this pack, and the other in the Winter pack.
