Fall DLC 2023 Speculation

I still can’t come up with an idea why they would announce the livestream a week early. No teasers in the past 3 days and they usually don’t announce anything of the weekends. Somethings gotta be up 👀
Too build up the hype? I don't know what else it could be since they haven't done anything extraordinary on social media since the livestream post. It's unlikely that they will announce anything during the weekend so we'll just have to wait and see.

It would be great to get something big but honestly I'm expecting another deer or whatever lame animal could come with a temperate pack so I don't end up hating the game until the next dlc.
 
I think tempering expectations is a good idea, don't try to expect something grand due to the weird scheduling... If anything it is more likely to be because of something internal within Frontier.
If I learned something from Planet Zoo is to don't expect too much for it's dlcs 😂. I think Twilight and Arid packs are the main reason of this way of think. If I don't expect too much, better will be the surprise, for example, the Grasslands Pack.
 
It’s possible but it’s weird that this is the first time they’ve separated the dates by that long.
Yes, it might be a bit weird but it's actually not that big of a deal. I'm predicting a special livestream in the normal way with hints of DLC and info about the free update. I don't think we ever will get to know why they announced the livestream this early, cause I'm not predicting anything special.

It could be any number of things. From staff scheduling to social media algorithm priming to just trying to keep people people talking/speculating without losing their minds? It's certainly done a good job of creating hype...

Too, FWIW, I just did a very quick review of the "special livestream" tweets. They're usually pretty bare bones without any editorializing. Arid pack tweet referenced "sculpting." So this tells me that the references in the tweet are most likely just due to what they're doing in the livestream. But I also can't shake (reference intended ;) ) the timing...

But I also can't shake the fact that the stream happens Monday (earlier than we might have expected) which means the DLC is likely to be announced on Tuesday AM... With the financial report and presentation coming on Wednesday. I feel like that can't just be a coincidence, right?

It obviously could be. But... I would think, at a minimum, it means they want to be able to talk about whatever it is (and I'm not implying it's a pack that will be bigger than usual or whatever) in that report.
 
My last prediction is to get another boring full mammal dlc, something like a temperate or highlands packs. I hope i'm wrong 👀
Come on Frontier, you saved past year with grasslands after the Twilight, another time saving it after Arid shouldn't be so complicated 😅
For you it is boring, which is surely okay. I personally prefer the Mammal focused DLC perhaps giving us one Bird.
 
...And thinking about those presentations they do tend to reference the latest DLC. We know the response to the Arid pack was tepid (and this is likely reflected in sales) so it could just be as simple as: "We just announced this and expect it to do well!"

Highlighting this just to emphasize that I am in no way assuming the next update and/or pack will be bigger or more "gamechanging" than we might think otherwise. Would be fun and cool or whatever but... I'm not quite there yet. LOL
 
I’m choosing not to believe in anything, building myself up hoping for a game changing dlc will likely just get me disappointed over something I made up in my head. A lot of people are thinking temperate pack next, but who knows what it will be. Last year it was Wetlands, to Conservation, to Twilight, to Grasslands. So while temperate is realistic, don’t be surprised if Frontier mixes it up again.

Would I love 1 (or more) birds? Sure. Would I love more reptiles and amphibians. Definitely. Would I love new world monkeys. Of course. But getting into my own head will likely just make me predict wrong and then get mad over something that wasn’t going to happen.

I hate to say it, while there definitely was valid criticisms, I think that is what largely created the negative response around the Arid Pack.

All birds pls.

Jokes aside, i also love mammals and there are plenty i still want, and packs will always be mammal focus, but i want birds and a temperate themed pack is perfect for more than just one: ducks, swans, pheasants and other galliformes (like turkeys and grouse and capercaillie), rhea, lyre bird, more cranes, etc. All good candidates for temperate pack. Even hummingbirds and songbirds as first WTE birds.
