No worries
I don't blame you; sometimes I forget Fall and Spring even exist because we have 49 weeks of icy heat and 3 weeks of blazing cold

I say this before and I say this again. Folks, if you want the animals you wanted all you have to do is to keep supporting by buying their DLCs. As long as they see profitability they will keep doing it. So buy and support any DLC no matter you like the content or not.
From the creators of "Next Christmas DLC is the last" and "Next Spring DLC is the ultimate final pack, they took much longer than usual to make it"...
I mean, those assumptions only made a lot of people feel disappointed with the announcement of the new pack and that translated to a lot of too negative reactions. I would wait for the next financial report before assuming again the next DLC is the final one.
The season pass for console had 2 extra slots on top of what was already being made for PC. Barnyard pack is now filling one of the two slots, but maybe after all the DLC has been released for console, they will bring in extra DLC? But think that this will highly depend on of the DLC for console sells good.
But I also think that there are enough things they could do to improve the base game, so a PZ2 would maybe even be better. We are (mostly) all hoping for aviaries and marine animals, but I think they would need to adjust too much for this, that it is more efficient to create a complete new game. And lets be honest, next year the game is 6 years old. With a new game they could do so much more.

I think its too soon to said if there will be a dlc for fall. I really hope! I want this year to be special due its 5 years of support!
We are in autumn down here that's why haha
Honestly, we may not even get a PlanZo 2 for another 3-5 years anyway, if we even get one.
I can think of a couple of reasons why it could be troublesome.
- The staring roster - are we gonna have all the released animals immediately available at release? Or are we gonna have to buy many of them again? It can go wrong both ways, honestly
- Future roster - what else could they possibly bring that will add more? Besides aviaries and aquariums, there isn't a whole lot left that will cater to most players. And plus, aviaries and aquariums as the only DLCs will feel kinda stale after a while
I'm not saying I don't want PlanZo 2, I'm just saying that it's way way too early to even think about it, plus we just have no idea what Frontier's plans are for future games...
Thats one of the main reasons why i really dont see a planet zoo 2 anytime soon. You either have to cut alot of the current animals from the basegame and spit in everyones faces by reselling it to them, or you dont really have any strategy for the future because there really arent that many animals left that are that interesting the the average players
The only thing I can imagine, instead of monthly DLC we get expansion passes.
- Aviary
- Aquatic
- Exhibit
- Etc…
Barnyard has not been added to any descriptions of the Season Pass, so it looks to be a separate purchase. There's also nothing unaccounted for, 14 DLCs is everything apart from Barnyard and console deluxe (Wetlands+SEA), so I'm not sure what you mean by extra slots.
Assuming the summer dlc isn’t the last and is focused on Latin America then I think maybe a temperate pack would be a good fit. Temperate is the only biome we don’t have a dedicated pack for (could argue Tundra as well).
Could even combine the 2 biomes and do a generic cold climate pack as well, if we don't have enough support afterwards
Southern Animal Pack
1. Southamerican coati
2. Spectacled bear
3. Blackh howler monkey
4. Patagonian mara
5. Greater rhea
6. Goodfellow's tree kangaroo
7. Short beaked echidna
8. WTE: hummingbirds
Northern Animal Pack
1. American black bear
2. Musk ox
3. Hamadryas baboon
4. Great white pelican
5. MandarÃn duck
6. Palla's cat
7. Blackbuck
8. Ex: Indian cobra
More or less, but then again Africa could technically be Arid pack 1, Aquatic pack would be Wetlands 1, etc.
So I don't think it'd matter too much
Yeah it pretty much was, animals like the mute swan and wisent were some of the strongest temperate animals that Europe could of received. We can also say Oceania was another temperate pack aswell.
Eurasia was a region based pack that had temperate animals but wasn’t a biome based pack. I’ll explain better when I am home and not on mobile.
I think you could do a very nice temperate pack, both as scenery and animal pack versions.
There are endless species of ducks to chose from, black bear and porcupine are requested NA options, muntjac, yellow throated marten and pheasants would be nice asian representatives, europe got the wildcat and marmot and oceanias echidna would fit here aswell.
For scenery you could do something native american or generic urban stuff.
But the temperate biome has gotten alot of spotlight lately with the eurasia, oceania and i guess also the barnyard pack, so i think we should get something different first to vary stuff up a bit

Ok so here's the reasoning behind my train of thought, assuming the Summer Pack is focused on Latin/Cental America/Rainforests and isn't the final DLC.
The in game biomes are as follows:
Region Based DLC:
So what could a Temperate Pack look like?
And if it's a Scenery Pack maybe some Native American pieces, log cabins, horizontal wood building set, etc.

If you look at the continental section in the zoopedia you also get central america and south east asia one of which already has a pack
which leaves these as the possible unused themes
regions
- antartica
- asia
- central america
- desert
- temperate
- taiga
- tundra
I think we are likely getting a central america pack for summer and I agree that temperate is the most likely theme for an autumn pack and there is just enough themes left for one more year of support after this one.
