I hope this isn't the pack we end up getting. We don't need a fourth lemur, even if it would have unique animations, and a third tortoise would be (in my opinion) a wasted slot. The lack of a single New World primate sticks out like a sore thumb, though I should probably be used to that at this point. Now, if this was a larger animal pack with 12 or so slots, and at least one of those slots was a New World primate, then I'd be far more satisfied.

Yes, you're right. I mixed up "FY27" and "2026" in my head and typed "2027".
I'm defeated at this point. I do not expect a single SA animal nor i think it will be a larger a pack and for sure this one seen very much like the last pack we will get.
I'm just accepting i won't get my coati, howler, mara, rhea and pelican. Not even blackbuck, musk ox, sea otter or Palla's cat.
Once again, even for the final pack they decided to go with oddballs in a way, because yes, while dik dik, Sifaka and tortoise were often mentioned as good and wanted additions, they were in a way lower demand than other animals that would have probably take the same amount of effort to make but were more popular.
I mean there is literally no end to the content that could be added. Even fish and birds wouldn't be breakthrough features; they'd just go in the exhibit boxes. Axolotls and bats but different. There's no shortage of species that could be added for habitat animals, obviously; they could do 10 packs on ungulates alone. But why would they?
I get that not everyone feels this way, but looking at PC2 and the features its bringing to the franchise, I seriously cannot wait for PZ2. I'm even planning on buying PC2 so that when PZ2 does come, I'm already used to the new features and UI (and because it looks fun, but anyway). Plus, looking at certain PC2 things - guest groups breaking up to go down slides and such - it seems possible that a whole lot of other new features for PZ2 are possible, such as interactive playgrounds. Besides all that, it's pretty clear that Frontier has deliberately witheld flying birds and aquaria; that alone is enough reason to be excited for the possibilities of PZ2, especially if the free-drawing system used for paths and pools can be applied to other features.
To that end, I'm looking forward to closing the book on PZ1. Bring on the future.
I think both of you that replied read my post wrong - I was saying it was common sense that the immediate next project wouldn’t be PZ2, and asking if there had been and hard proof that it wouldn’t (ie, suggestions from Frontier that some other specific project might be in the wings, or that more PZ was not currently a priority for whatever reason). But it seems like the answer came through either way.
That's kind of what I was getting at though, the only hard proof we will ever get is the vague business talk from the shareholder meetings. Anything else will be on the year the supposed next game is coming out.
I was thinking, but there's any chance that the actual annoucement of the dlc will only be on next week? Just like frontier did with megalodon on jwe2: say to people there's something on the horizon, tease it on a stream and then reveal it next weak.
If this is the case, it would also be hilarious considering that zoochosis is releasing on the next monday.

That would be very painful.
There's no way we don't know what the pack is by the end of Wednesday
NOOOOOO!!!!
Stop, you will curse us and make this a reality
I feel it's a 90% chanceThat would be very painful.

You sure? I dont think there was, atleast not in the last while since i got into moddingI was sure there was an scarlet ibis mod and now i can't find it
Honestly, if we didnt get the announcement tomorrow I really think we'll get it Wednesday before/during the stream. I could see Frontier announcing the pack on stream, especially if it is the last pack. Maybe that makes sense since they're dropping the next bundle tomorrow.
Side note: It would be cool if they dropped that last DLC on console and PC at the same time for the whole community to experience it together. Doubt they'll do it though.

We have no confirmation other than it will be a cms game and if it isnt something entirely new we will never guess it has to be pz2.
the thing is most ideas that would fit this genre already have the market cornered want an aquarium game there are plenty, city skylines already has city builders in a choke hold and I agree mini golf seems like a planet coaster dlc. anything else would just end up too nice since aside from maybe a museum builder.
yeah, i'm pretty sure there was one. It is featured in one of Leaf's videos. Now is gone.
Unless they have concept art lying around, I don't think they're going to make that many additions specifically only for base game (the only remaster has been the Malayan Tapir, I guess you could also count the Binturong), though I could see additions to DLCs being a thing, like maybe an extra statue per pack.
They've been pretty consistent on two plants in the free update, though sometimes just variants of existing. Usually it's relevant to the pack, so I'm guessing it's going to be Old World + Oceania, Grasslands and Tropical.
It's in their best interest not to say anything. If a customer knows for sure there's a PZ2 coming, even if a while away, they're probably not going to buy as much DLC.
JWE3 was alluded to slightly before the final JWE2 DLC, and properly confirmed after a few months, but the movie reveal led to the assumption it was coming anyway.
Barnyard isn't part of the Season Pass, logically the next one wouldn't be either, so releasing during it would be a bit weird. With Barnyard they didn't even specify this year, so April to May next year seems a pretty safe assumption.
I forgot that the season pass existed lol
Unironically this would be an absolutely perfect end of the game for me. Monkeys, South America representation, and some cute birds. Heck yeah
I dont think they would emphasize the stream this much and tease us this much just to have a tiny 20 second teaser on stream.
