I can! Seriously out of those 3, the orangutan brachiation is what excites me the most.
Fall DLC 2023 Speculation
- Thread starter Leaf Productions
- Start date
Is it possible we could get more than one species of Lorikeet or would that throw off the Oceania vibe?
Nope, probably will get announced tomorrow.
I'm thinking it's more likely to be a Conservation Pack type situation, with the DLC being announced first and the update announcement coming the day after. I can't recall them ever not announcing a DLC the day after a stream.
It already happened Last year with Conservation Pack and then we got brachiation as surprise within the Update. I could imagine this could (could Not must) be the case with this Update, too.
I don’t think anybody asked for the quokka before this morning. And I feel like this pack will be an ok one (that doesn’t correspond with my feelings on the update, update is amazing) I’ll like the animals.
The Tassie Devil isn’t one of my top picks but i still like it. The Kiwi I do really look forward to, it’s an amazing bird. If we get Walrus I will not be interested in it whatsoever. If we get another penguin, depends on what it’ll be, but I’ll probably be happy with it. The tree kangaroo would bump this pack from a “pretty good” to a “let’s gooo one of the best ones yet”
The scenery though, I’m scared. I don’t want the Polynesian or Caribbean scenery theme, we just got something similar 6 months ago. I was really looking forward to a NA scenery set, I’m afraid this next set will be just as useless as the last one for me 
It was on my list of "animals needed for Australia to feel very well represented" so I see this as an absolute win
This pack sounds positively exciting! Sounds like a kiwi, Tasmanian devil, little blue penguin and something else for the habitat animals..
Are LBP in temperate biomes? I ask because this could be either islands or temperate. Islands thinking a Tree Kangaroo is that last animal and if Temperate then the Quokka. Have my preference to the tree kangaroo but either is okay.
If it’s and island pack i will still hope for the Sulawesi Bear Cuscus some other way, but it’s not like I really expected it to get in the game anyways

I'm not sure we are going to get Polynesian scenery, the tropical pack scenery is so similar to make it stand out.The scenery though, I’m scared.

But then what is it?
They're temperate yeah, given they live in southern Australia (including Tasmania) and NZ. I don't think they'd label this as a temperate pack though, it's still either Islands or Oceania.
Fantasy castles and candy themed buildings for all I know.
Knowing we get an entire dlc focused on polynesian scenery pieces, what if... for only once... this isn't a scenery pack?. I know that "Everything points to be a scenery pack", but I think i don't need to remember last year situation with conservation and twilight. Right, we get 5 animal teasers, but that doesn't scream "Hey! it's a scenery pack!". I'm not saying it will be an animal or scenery pack, but it would be cool to have inverted packs like past year. Animal-scenery-scenery-animal, and now Scenery-animal-animal-¿?. I do think there aren't enough island scenery choices to have in the dlc. Of course i can be wrong, but it would be cool to have another animal pack.
None of the animals in this pack were on my personal wishlist. Funnily enough, the quokka is probably my favorite out of the bunch unless it ends up being a rockhopper penguin instead of a little blue one.
I hope you are right. That would be a nice surprise. They didn't tease all the animals for the arid pack after all, just a handfull. And for the Tropical peack the teased the scenery pieces during the livestream as well.
This was my only conclusion too. I feel like this pack will suffer the same problem Arid did. If the theme is a generic “islands” theme it shouldn’t be zoned in on one place. If the Walrus isn’t in this pack, all the teasers we have are for Oceania animals. My animal pack roster would be:
Tasmanian Devil (Confirmed)
Kiwi (Confirmed)
Penguin Species (basically confirmed)
Pelican Species (I know 3 birds I’ve gone mad)
Walrus
Japanese Raccoon Dog or Japanese Serow
Coquerels Sifaka
Budgies (WTE)
I just still can't wrap my mind around it. It's such an arbitrary aspect of the tree kangaroo to focus on. Surely if it were a tree kangaroo, and Frontier were thinking "how best do we represent it as a drink?" I can't imagine they would settle on "they look like they're smiling, sometimes, in some pictures". Ask 100 animal lovers what they consider to be the most iconic, important, or representable single aspect of a tree kangaroo. I can't imagine a single one would jump to their "smile".
It was Always different. For Europe all animals were teased whereas it was not for Conservation for example. The safest assumption is that we will get a Scenery Pack.
