If it comes that late hopefully some interesting birds come with it .
Spring 2024 DLC Speculation
- Thread starter The Carcharodontogenius
- Start date
I think that’s a fairly realistic outcome. I don’t think they would release a dlc along console, I think that might confuse people. Also they may want more time to focus on the dlc. I imagine a good part of the team is working hard on the console port.
Those are my top wants for african monkeys as well!
I would also really like either a patas monkey or a vervet for savanah exhibits.
It would be the first time the spring DLC isn't related to the date of Easter IIRC so I don't think so
I'm still not convinced that they release the DLC at the same time as console, like I get the Easter pattern but rushing the DLC doesn't seem like a good idea for both productivity and for marketing both the console release and DLC at the same time.
Always could be a first time, as @CharlieXGaming says, marketing for both at the same time is not what frontier should be planning. Hyping up the console release to then mix in a dlc almost every day would be counterproductive.
Whenever they announce a DLC and its contents, the 1-2 weeks leading up to the release are riddled with people on social media posting thins like "Wonder if they're adding birds as a surprise - just a thought!" and "Heard the theme was Australia - any idea what animals are gonna be in it?"
This is why they shouldn't release two things in the same week using the same social media account to promote them. Imagine teasing new animals and having to explain in every post that they won't be available on console for another year... Only to have people complaining that (insert animal here) was advertised as being on console and it isn't in the game.
That and, TBH, the reason for the pre-Easter drop is so they get the holiday weekend sales bump. They're going to get that and then some with the console release; they don't really need the DLC drop this year as a result. Waiting to release the DLC after will make that sales/revenue graph look better.

And maybe a bigger DLC. More animals. More features.
Which would make it even more confusing and lead to more comments. Though, TBH, I'm not expecting a ton of new features for a final update. At least nothing that adds a new mechanic or function. Something a bit more functional/creative. New features, as we've seen, can tend to get buggy...
They haven't encountered this situation before, so I'm thinking it might be chaos ahead.
The fact there's a "Season Pass" adds to the confusion, even if they magically go for releasing on all platforms at once.
Console Planet Coaster incorporated 2 DLCs one month after launch, then 2 more roughly every two months. Based on that pace, it looks like they might be restricted on time (about 1 month short). Assuming that schedule, the only potential overlap should be around Early July.
I think that given the fact that there's no longer a dedicated team for PZ, it's quite likely that there's not going to be a steam at all this time around. We'll still get the monthly streams they seem to have set up, but I don't think they still have the resources to do individual streams for certain games.
Oh no what i meant was that if the DLC is delayed maybe is a bigger one.
We thought last dlc that there wasn’t going to be a stream and there was, so I’m not ruling it out this time.
The sudden removal of all community managers who presented these streams and the addition of the frontier unlocked does mean we get a stream, just not a dedicated planet zoo stream.
Probably also means no hints and riddles this time
Yeah I’m wondering if we won’t have a teaser at all and instead just the launch of the pack.Probably also means no hints and riddles this time
Thank god.Probably also means no hints and riddles this time
Really wishful thinking, but what if the final pack is just monkeys and birds. That’s what everyone has been asking for so that’s what frontier delivers. Like a “wings and tails” pack or something like that.
