Spring 2024 DLC Speculation

latin america pack is fair name, but without south american coati, spectacled bear, scarlet ibis, southern tamandua, southern pudu..
Brown-nosed coati, ocelot, howler monkey, Brazilian tapir, Patagonian mara, greater rhea, guanaco, vicuna, Humboldt penguin, red-footed tortoise, black caiman, white-faced saki, brown capuchin, white tailed deer, green anaconda, green basilisk, blue poison dart frog, emerald tree boa, mata-mata...

Plenty of animals that don't start with A, S or T
 
Also I noticed potentially new plant in Giant Panda tab: holly tree. 👀
Or this species isnt atleast recorded on PZ wiki with only holly plant being alpine sea holly.
 
Also I see we’re at the time once again discussing what essential means, so that’s nice.

My quick opinion because we’ve talked about this so much I can’t really be interested anymore:

I’m not discussing which packs were essential and etc but the last animals that were essential were the porcupine, emu and the raccoon. Those 3 are what I feel were the last 3 that were general animals that were talked about from the beginning. The last 2 packs did not deliver any essential animals, maybe essential to Europeans with the wisent and boar, but not relevant to the general community. I still think that the Walrus (as much as I dislike it), Baboon and Duck are essential as they are well known zoo animals / animals in general that were probably talked about at the beginning of the game, but that’s just my opinion.
Is the raccoon really that essential? I know it's very common in captivity but I don't remember it ever being a common request in the community. And if so then the swan should also be considered essential imo
Investigation time.
1. We saw llama in earlier promos
2. Based on animal names only Aquatic, Arctic, SA and Tropical packs are potential candidates. Species from these packs arent found between aardvark - alpine ibex and sable antelope - thomson gazelle. Tropical is confirmed thanks to theme tag.
3. Building themes. Aquatic and Arctic should be after African theme, but since both are absent this leave us with...

South America Pack & Tropical Pack bundle.

Why it cant be Oceania Pack? There should be devil between sun bear and thomson gazelle.
Yeah that actually makes quite the sense, but I don't see how that would mean that the new DLC wouldn't be South America/Tropical? Specially when the new DLC for pc will most likely be the last one to be added on console (this assumption simply comes from considering that it makes more sense that they will first adapt to console the DLCs that are already finished, and not one that is still in the works).

canst thou not see? The coati, coming once for all. Soon will it surge, I can see it, feel it....
 
Brown-nosed coati, ocelot, howler monkey, Brazilian tapir, Patagonian mara, greater rhea, guanaco, vicuna, Humboldt penguin, red-footed tortoise, black caiman, white-faced saki, brown capuchin, white tailed deer, green anaconda, green basilisk, blue poison dart frog, emerald tree boa, mata-mata...

It'll take all of them please. Thank you.

BTW. We are assuming that the next DLC will be launched in both console and PC at the same time but that might not be the case. So all of these means nothing really lol

Are you sure people are assuming that? Because nothing is pointing out that they would do such a thing. I still believe the next DLC will release a month or so after the console release. Right now all their promotion resources are going to the console version and it makes very little sense that having all the previous DLCs at their disposition to release on console as "new" content, they would focus on adding the next DLC to console at the same time as the pc version.

Besides, if the DLC was coming to console and pc at the same time, I am pretty sure we would have noticed by now. Not just because the gameplay we just got would have shown something, but if there was a new DLC coming for console I'm fairly sure they would be using it for promotional purposes as well just like they are doing with all the other DLCs? But there is no mention of it anywhere.
 
So what is the general feeling here towards the last dlc, do you guys think it’s gonna underwhelm, be more of the same, or be better than we expected?
 
Well thats what being a monkey and bird enjoyer does to you around these parts :D
It’s all pain all the time! I love visiting zoos and seeing all these cute and adorable birds and thinking, can’t do that in my favorite game. I love visiting an indoor rainforest with monkeys and birds and thinking: what a shame. I love the variety of animals that could fit in this games limitations and just aren’t here for an unknown reason not specified! I love how me asking for a duck or other similar birds in a zoo game feels like a Herculean task! I love how after getting the capuchin we didn’t get another New World monkey! But we definitely needed 3 “pigs” in one year (I actually love them being in game and I’m happy they are here, I’m just proving a point)! I love how the record number of some of my favorite animals is 3 in one year!

ITS GREAT!

I’m gonna be hopeful, I’m trying to at least, but I agree with everyone it’s gonna be more of the same most likely. Which is a shame, I feel like if Frontier tried to take a risk it might let planet zoo do better. I can understand why PZ is slowly not doing better, the animals are getting more niche. I wish frontier just took a risk, and make a bird pack, or monkey pack, or an aquatic pack. I feel like they would be more popular than expected.

Well considering the secret species pack has no indicative of being the last JWE2 dlc (quite on the contrary, this looks just like a regular dlc?), despite everyone panicking that neither JWE2 nor PZ got direct confirmation of getting more DLCs after this financial year, the new dlc pretty much confirms to me that JWE2 is still gonna get more dlcs.

For PZ, I still believe that we cannot know if this will be the last DLC or not until we see exactly what it is. I totally expect the last DLC to be bigger, so if the next DLC is not something different from existing format I am 100% assuming more DLCs are following afterwards.

The only way it can be disappointing to me is if it is a scenery pack with South American theming xD or if there is no bunny.......

Yes that is my point exactly. But that assumption that next pack doesn't contain any of those animals or themes is based on the theory that it is already ready for both console and PC. I personally agree with you. I don't think it will.

Yes. I think it will be underwhelming expectations are too high: we want SA animals but also top wishlist animals, we want birds like ducks and pelicans and secretary bird (other than flamingos and penguins), we want monkeys (more than one), we want coati but also tree kangaroo, we want spectacled bear but also ABB, we want scenery but over 8 animals, etc. There is no way that with all that the next pack will not be underwhelming for most people.
