What a shame it looks like nothing changed with classic ungulora + 1 of something formula.
DLC18 discussion and predictions
- Thread starter Leaf Productions
- Start date
My money's on highlands/mountains but I would really hope for Asia Animal Pack just because of the raccoon dog. I don't think you can quite squint hard enough to call it a highland species.
Knowing frontier there will be atleast 1 or 2 more ungulates, and if its somehow not the last one there will probably some weird ones that noone really asked for like tibetan gazelle.If it does turn out to be highlands/mountains then tree too, hyrax, and one-two bird species (bar headed goose, Himalayan monal maybe) would be solid.
But I’m bracing myself for the possibility that it’ll be the spectacled bear and some more ungulates
I just hope there will be atleast one other animal that i actively wanted in the pack besides the baboon, golden phesant or himalayan monal for example would be wonderfull
Yes, I feel great for the Chinese Community finally getting some recognition!
alright yeah that I agree with
Alright initial thoughts.
We don't know the title but this doesn't seem to be a "Zookeeper's" or "Grand Finale" pack as predicted. WILL it be the last pack though?
Potentially. Maybe even probably. Although, depending on the line-up - maybe we can expect 2025 to be a similar year - one pack in the spring, one in the fall.
THEN, they hit us with PZ2 in 2026. Why not? It's making green, keeping it coming.
Unless it is indeed a Zookeeper's pack and we see a "grab bag" theme, then it's 100% Joever.
African Leopard as a free update isn't for me, but Frontier has a huge commitment to conservation. As the last of the Big 5 for safari and conservation enthusiasts, I understand it's placement.
I'm head over heels for the markhor, it's been my most wanted ungulate since I made my wishlist in 2021!
Pallas Cat and Baboon are also really good additions!!
And folks, I was expecting a bit more enthusiasm for the baboon. We've spent THREE YEARS waving our fists about no monkeys over 3 years and we finally got one of the most requested. Let's rejoice! Bananas all around!
I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a bird or two, and a solid remaining roster.
And if this is TRULY the end...
Don't howl that it's Coati-ver, smile because it Hamadryappened.

My only disappointment is that it's not a SA pack, but besides that it seems solid, so far
I really don’t think exclusions in the dictionary fully deconfirm species after this.
I really want Alpine Marmot and Himalayan Monal if this is a asian/highland themed pack even if Marmot isnt from Asia.
When do we thinking it gonna get a full announcement tho? cuz idk they saying to keep our eyes out for the couple weeks-
Himalayan Monal and the pack goes from 6/10 to 8.5/10, such a beauty...
As they say if it isn't broke don't fix it. The mix of ungulates and other animals could be the best mix for a guaranteed profit.
Me eating my words rn. I gave it >1% chance tho.
Mountain pack could go hard tho depending on rest of the roster, I want to have more detailed look at Hamadryas model, cat's fine (look) and I'm always happy when certain picks make community members happy.
I am always ready for hype and optimism, at least regarding this game, so I want to join in with people who believe this is not the last pack (mayybe you could point to some hints that that's the case), but if I was completely honest, I have no strong arguments for that being the case. We will see. But if not, this pack is nothing to scoff at, all three of revealed animals will have automatic spot at my zoos
I've been saying this for years and yet here we are
It seems like a Halloween/Night Festival pack themed with Asian Highland animals and a sprinkle of other continents
But is the term Big 5 even used in hunting now? Or is it more associated with Safari tours?
Because if it's the latter, then why should it matter?
Because if it's the latter, then why should it matter?
The Big 5 has nothing to do with conservation. It's like... the opposite of conservation lmao
The term was coined by big-game hunters to refer to the five most difficult animals in Africa to hunt on foot
