DLC18 discussion and predictions
- Thread starter Leaf Productions
- Start date
It's a marketing strategy to hype you to buy planet zoo 2, Frontier is purposely keeping some iconic animals and also new features like flying birds and fishes only for the next gameSorry, but with the lack of iconic animals, the game will have an unfinished taste…

Alright I’m gonna start the predictions thread and also gonna move over to the next speculation thread. It has been a chaotic couple of months and now we can remove 8 animals from our frequent debates. Guess that means we start agreeing with each other soon?
If anyone could suggest why this is not the last dlc please let me know. Maybe we will get some clarity durring the next frontier unlocked. Something tells me there won’t be one in November or December as they may be dealing with pc2 stuff and holiday.

I love these animals. I just wish it wasn't (almost, surely, certainly) the last pack. I'm going to use the dikdik and tortoise a lot for sure.
Can't wait to see what they all look like.
Modders, please enjoy a long and fruitful reign from here. I will donate what I can. Please give us every monkey, and some rather oddly balanced birds.

I'm sorry, but monkeys are one of the most attractive species / group for the average zoo visitor, even if they know nothing about them. A squirrel monkey is much more known by anyone, than a Sifaka. And I bet people know Coatis way better than Dik-Diks.
Your general statement isn't wrong, but this pack - in my opinion - doesn't cater the broader audience as much as it could have.
It's not even 8
as it only features 7 animals

Hopefully there's one more DLC which might not have a career scenario beacuse we get the scenario editor in the update matching that DLC, so this is our last career scenario but not our last DLC.
Anyone seriously thinking there will be another dlc to make the game have more than 200 animals just for the sake of it or to add more latin america animals, should really read the steam dlc page. The writing is on the wall that the end is coming.
Embrace mods, they are the future.
Planet Zoo: Zookeepers Animal Pack on Steam
Calling all Zookeepers! Come and welcome 7 new species with the Planet Zoo: Zookeepers Animal Pack! This pack brings your guests closer to nature with a host of highly requested species, ready to captivate both seasoned and new zookeepers alike.
Yeah honestly im more excited about modders being able to throw caution to the wind now than the DLC.
Saw a little teaser of a flying owl on the discord yesterday and im so ready for all that feathery goodness
Yep, it's officially mod time until the sequel. There was an absolutely wonderful tanuki mod released recently. I might just look into commissions to get the mainland species in the game as well.
Do we have any word on the noises yet? Also I might join that discord, I’m not active but if this is the last dlc I want to go where it will be active and people will still talk.
Can somebody please provide me with the official keyart? For a vid
I'm starting to get super tired and my coherency is plummeting but
- makes sense to have big finale pack for the most financially successful game released just before Christmas. Especially if cross platform. Especially when the company is somewhat financially struggling. My marketing brain goes "$$$$ opportunity"""
- 19 DLC seems like a weird number, why not hit 20? Also gives them a perfectly even launch number for all the duo packs releasing for console. 10 releases, 20 packs
- a few holes in the roster to round out. New world monkey, coati, secretary bird, pelican or duck, tree kangaroo for example. It would be kind of carthatic to hit 200 animals
- frontier just hasn't said this is it. It very may well be, but I am also happy to just patiently wait and see. Only frontier can decide if that's it or not we are all just playing guessing games
I feel the same as you and @Marvinb , just a kind of “meh” feeling. No bird definitely doesn’t help. But none of the animals added were even in the top 10, South America was shafted bad, and all the leaks ruined the surprise.
No walrus is a real head-scratcher. The game already has several species of turtles/tortoises, replacing the tortoise with walrus would at least double sales among the general (non-zoo-nerd) audience. I think if this is the final DLC, Frontier missed an opportunity with such a universally recognised animal. Even if it takes longer, delaying the pack until Christmas and releasing the walrus would have made commercial sense. I just don't understand this at all. Walrus is perfect for a Christmas theme and headliner animal. Instead, they choose a cat that most of the world can't really recognise and distinguish from a regular house cat...
Btw, the cat looks nothing like a Pallas Cat either based on the trailer, Frontier failed to capture its most characteristic trait (grumpiness), so what's the point of even having it?

Absolutely makes sense. Three of the four animals you mentioned first were all standard inclusions for many of the Highlands pack ideas being thrown out, with the H. Baboon being replaced by the "close enough" Gelada. And honestly those four I'm 100% okay with. The Tortoise is also okay, it's the other two that really let me down.
Well... its over, all that speculating and most of the animals got leaked. I get that other people are happy about this pack, but its kind of a rubbish pack for me. The only South American animal is the bear, no birds, no new world monkeys.
1. Coquerel's Sifaka is probably my favourite in this pack although getting it instead of any new world monkey makes me feel a bit conflicted
2. Spectacled Bear is pretty cool and I will take all the South American animals I can get
3. Kirk's Dik Dik is at one of the zoos near me so I probably like its inclusion more than others, but another ungulate really...
4. Hamadryas Baboon another monkey I guess, but not one I care for
5. African Spurred Tortoise is really common and another reptile but a bit out of place in the final pack
6. Markhor another cold climate caprine, I already had plenty not much of a fan of this guy
7. Pallas Cat, another small cat, in my eyes its really unnecessary

I dont thinks so.
But one perk of alot of the birds being based on the wolverine is that they dont make much or noticable sounds, so its pretty easy to "fix" the lack of accurate sounds by downloading owl hoots and throwing them on a speaker hiden in the aviary
