Spring 2024 DLC Speculation
- Thread starter The Carcharodontogenius
- Start date
I’ve seen so many guesses for when it starts and ends I give up, who knows lol
somehow I’m expecting something this week or next in regards to some kind of announcement even if it is for their next monthly wrap up.
I think there’s some potential with JWE2 but I personally have no interest in these secret species.

Frontiers is one month earlier I think, we seem to ask this in every speculation thread but keep forgetting.

So keep in mind the JWE2 DLC came out of literally nowhere, yes it was released in its usual timeframe but there was no hints to it and it was not mentioned in the frontier unlocked prior. So, I don't think we need to wait til the end of march livestream to get an announcement of some sort, it could just be announced randomly within the next 1-3 weeks. I'm more leaning towards an announcement in the week of March 31 - Apr 6, just to give the console a week after release for them to showcase doing posts like "what animals have you built for already?" and stuff like that - or they could immediately announce it on the thursday or friday of the same week the console is out (Mar 28 or 29) and be like "well we've treated the console players well, now lets get adventuring with some new animals for everyone!"
I think it’s interesting that it’s the first time a console release is happening for a game with DLC still being developed. I honestly don’t think a DLC for PC will be released until April or even May as they’ll want full focus on console in all their marketing channels, otherwise it all gets diluted. I may be wrong. But I think it’ll be console celebration, breathing space then ending PC development with a big moment (including the DLC being a bigger offer) when console hype dies down a bit.
True but they can't wait too long because then PC players will start to become uninterested because they figure there is no DLC this time around. No later than April imo.
Took the words out of my mouth, what else is left to say? In the end I could spin a yard about what animals are actually needed, but what are the odds the final dlc will be close to that? I love Frontier, but odds are the final pack may have a single bird and monkey. Which I have to be honest, the more I think about that the less I want some of the other meta wishlist animals. I know this is selfish, but I wish the final dlc could make me feel more represented. Give me birds and monkeys, honestly at this point I don’t want anything else.
Edit: I shouldn’t say I don’t want anything else, I wouldn’t be mad with any other animal being added. People are allowed to like animals other than I do. I would just love to get that bird dlc and finally think, you know what this is good enough for me.
In fairness, both the official and 2024 Meta-wishlist are filled with monkeys and birds.
If It's The Final One San Diego Zoo With Stuff Like A New Scenery Set, Secretary Bird, Spectacled Bear, California Condor, Hamadryas Baboon, Coatimundi, Matschie's Tree Kangaroo, Ocelot, Lord Howe Island Stick Insect, King Cobra, Rainbow Lorikeet, Tuatara And, Bali Myna.
If It Isn't The Final One I Could See Climbing Pack With Gridded Mesh Pieces, Some Primates, Crocodile Monitor, A Goat And Rainbow Lorikeet.
Every time someone suggests a San Diego pack, I delay any possible return to my recreation of it by 5 years

FY definitely starts with 1st of June for Frontier specifically (I've been firmly corrected recently).
Based on the steamDB, it looks like we're close to eliminating April for a DLC ("outsource_lqa" updates about 5-6 weeks before a DLC and hasn't updated yet).
Looking into the FY2024 presentation, it apparently says more DLC is planned, but doesn't seem to expressly say this Financial year, though certainly is implied (the original video doesn't exist anymore, just what was commented about it).
The latest they've done a DLC in April is the 17th, which was still before Easter for that year (2019). They've not done a May DLC across the 4 Parkbuilders, but they have done earliest June. Latest May would effectively be the same, so it looks like maybe the direction this is headed.
I'm guessing there might be a bugfix update in April, given the gift shops still need fixing.
I know it’ll probably be a bigger update and pack but I don’t wanna wait til May 
controversial choice but I want leopard seals saw them once when I was younger they are super interesting animals.
POV Jurassic World Evo 2 players looking forward last time to that new update be like:
They've been updating it but the key outsource file hasn't been updated yet. So that doesn't really mean much WRT the next DLC. It's probably them working on the franchise and gift shop issues TBH.
Nobody's guessing as to when the financial year starts and ends... It's listed as May 31 right on their web site. And its in the financial docs.
The presentation was pretty explicit. It lists "Planet Zoo PDLC" under the "H2 FY24 New content/Platforms" heading. With "FY25 New Game Releases" below it referencing F1 Manager and the own-IP CMS game. So something is definitely coming for PZ before end of May.
I do wonder if it'll be late April or early May at this point. Would be quite a bit later than usual but... That would make sense if it's a bigger and final pack.
In looking at the slide again, though, I also find it interesting that they don't list any PDLC for anything. It's just new games. The header just even just lists new game releases (which means there was no spot on that slide for new PDLC). Probably doesn't mean anything. But I still find it real strange they didn't bother to list PDLC for any games when they would almost definitely have at least one PDLC for that new CMS game during FY25.
