DLCs like we know from Zoo Tycoon?

[Dracornis]

Hello,

since Steam Description claims that you are working together with the team behind Zoo Tycoon..
Are there plans for doing the known DLCs we enjoyed at Zoo Tycoon
To call the baby by its name:
Dinosaur Digs
Marine Mania

JWE was a nice game, but if we get some dinosaur and marine content like we know from the old games, that would be awesome, since the animal management from Zoo Tycoon was much better than JWE managed to do...

So any chances we get these type of content?

Until somebody from Fdev answers, let me present my take on it.

It's not entirely accurate that "they are working with the team behind Zoo Tycoon. Rather simply - some of the people that worked on Zoo Tycoon are now working at Frontier.
As for the DLCs, it's still half a year to release, so I don't think even they would give you a definitive answer, even if they wanted to.
My guess is - Marine DLC, yeah, it could happen (we'll have to see what's in the base game, first, though. Maybe it won't be necessary. )
Dinos, I don't think so. They have JWE for that and even they are kind of bound by Universal in what they can do with that game, I don't think they would really opted for releasing a direct competitor for their own game.
Plus, and more importantly, Planet Zoo seems to be very grounded and up-to-date. (in a sense that it will represent a zoo that could exist today). The preservation and environmental issues seem to be a big thing, so I imagine we will get a lot of endangered species of this day. Kind of like real zoos are.
I think that content-wise, we can look at Planet Coaster to get an idea what it will be like when comes to frequency and scope.

I'm sure there will be lots of great DLC. However this isn't Zoo Tycoon so the may not be exactly the same. I see really disappointed planet coaster players because we don't get exactly the same as previous games. Perhaps they want to do something different rather than rehashing the past? I look forward to whatever happens. I'm usually greatful for any new content.

No dinosaurs...... Please.

No dinosaurs...... Please.

I expect they won't because it could harm jwe sales.

I expect they won't because it could harm jwe sales.

Not only that, they would also be in breach of contract with Universal.

I expect they won't because it could harm jwe sales.

I don't think they do. They already have JWE, and if they appeared dinosaurs in Planet Zoo, the freedom of decoration options would leave JWE mechanics in bad place

By the other hand, an expansion like Marine Mania would be something interesting. Even so, it is still to early to say anything about it. The company has a lot to show until the release.

Already can't wait for the streams. I hope they will make a weekly streams pre-launch. Those are always the best. After the launch I'm usually using them only as a white noise.

I'm sure the Marine Mania DLC will definitely come out. After all, this game is a continuation of zoo tycoon. Because it's one of the most important DLCs. But right now we should keep our silence for the marine Mania DLC. Because it's too early to talk. Maybe the game engine will not support? But I want it to be a marine Mania DLC in the game. I've said that on other in issues.
