Winter 2023 DLC Speculation

Oh ok. Didn't know about the JWE 2. Then not Thursday lol

Yeah that is what i think too. Is a way of getting in the mood of cold whather animals after a whole year of warm climate packs.

I very much will prefer an Amazon/latinamerica pack myself to round up a whole year of warm climate packs but is not likely.
I would love a central america pack but I think it is best saved for after a cold animal pack because including grasslands it has been a full year since we got anything colder than a temperate animals so everyone including me is tired of warm animals.
 
Come on my thick furred friend, you wait for no one.

Imagine all that time speculating unique caprines, all for it to be wasted when all we get is a fluffy dall sheep 💀
Yup, definitely why the MG has consistently fallen further and further down my want list, despite having animals higher up than it being removed. We 90% already have it. Look at the female Dall Sheep the model is almost there. It does a better job of masquerading as another species than some (okay one) species in the game does at representing itself.
 
I’m so sure an announcement will come today!

here is my dream roster for an antartica pack
  • leopard seal (my local zoo had these for a while when I was young)
  • Antarctic fur seal
  • rockhopper penguin
  • crab eater seal
  • emperor penguin (I will fight to the death that the king was the wrong choice)
  • orca (Its a game ok)
  • gentoo or chinstrap penguin (goes well with other penguins)
  • a petrel, skua or albatross
That’s almost exactly my dream Antarctica pack too! I’d maybe swap the fur seal or emperor penguin with an elephant seal. I got to work with those leopard seals so it would be so special to have them in Planet Zoo ❤️
 
I’m realistically expecting news next week judging from past formula

I think having animal dlcs as the last of the year is a good idea as it seems spring dlc is dependent on Easter therefore some years the announcement is almost 4 months as opposed to 3 months, with the exception of this year it seems fall dlc takes a while as well.
The more I sit with it, the more I feel like the reveal will be next week. Mostly because there hasn't been a tease yet. If they stick with past patterns it would mean a tease tomorrow... And we know a reveal or a tease is very unlikely for Thursday. I guess they could always tease something tomorrow and reveal it on Friday but that feels pretty unlikely.

I'm still feeling like the release date will be the 12th because of the holiday time coming up. But I think we're probably in for a very different roll-out than usual unless things really ramp up tomorrow. Hah.

the elephant seal was on my radar I just didnt put it in because I want the northern over the southern for zoo tycoon nostalgia and i doubt we would get both glad to see im not the only one who likes antartica.
 
  • Tropical Pack - 7/10. it's mainly due to the sloth that is the VERY wrong species for a zoo game.
It's not really a VERY wrong species as it is apparently common South American zoos. In the same vain the platypus would have been a wrong species for a zoo game, which I'd also say isn't really the case 😅


On an unrelated note, did everyone switch to a Tundra Pack because of the Tundra animal challenge? The challenges have never been related to the upcoming DLC, we guessed incorrectly in the past because of that 😂
 
The issue is that you can look at it as: “the challenge is never related to the DLC, so it’s anything except tundra” or “they know we know about the pattern, so they might give us a challenge that is exactly the same as the DLC”. Frontier love to play with us 🤣

I will fight for antartcia till I die irrelevant of the challenge but I do think it is at least somewhat relevant after a year of hot weather themes they do a tundra challenge probably just acclimatising us to the idea of cold animals

also as far as I know the sloth we have is still fairly rare in south america its not common just more common than outside of south america though the platypus analogy is probably not a bad one as they are not even that common is australian zoos its just that most major zoos have them.
 
Special Livestream announcement today for tomorrow, update + DLC announcement this Friday, an Animal Pack, so 2 weeks to wait, for a release on 14th December.
Seems legit.
Are there already updates on the Steam files :eek: ?
