DLC18 discussion and predictions
- Thread starter Leaf Productions
- Start date
Y'know. I'm kind hoping this next DLC is not gonna be the last of Planet Zoo for PC, cuz I think the Devs at Frontier surely would have realised by now.
JWE2 tying a ribbon means the Planet series serves a higher value in revenue as of now.
Additionally, even with the release of Planet Coaster 2, some of us would be stepping a way until sequel release which I think they wouldn't want to. Plus ending PC services would mean the console community would see where their last stop is going to be in sense.
In summation, I think, or more appropriately hope, that Frontier continues making more content for PC community at least right before console service ends.

If this would be the Asia animal pack in the end what would be your dream animals to fill the empty spaces. I’m really curious
Based on the animals currently obtained, assume that there are 4 vacancies left:
1. Wild yak
2. GSNM
3. Asian golden cat
4. Himalayan monal
Assume that we still have 9 vacancies:
1. Wild yak
2. GSNM
3. Asian golden cat
4. Himalayan monal
5. Tufted deer
6. Blackbuck
7. Yellow-throated marten
8. Golden Pheasant
9. PD deer
I'm so into asian fauna that it would be very difficult for me to make a choice but if I had to choose my ultimate favorites I would say:
Golden Snub Nosed Monkey
Japanese Raccoon Dog (we need more representation for Japan imo, not much but like 2 more animals)
Blackbuck
Muntjac
Himalayan Monal or Palawan Peacock Pheasant
(I would love to add the Lion Tailed Macaque, a Langur and the tibetan fox too...)
I love wise boi, will protect at all costs #AllFoxesAreBeautiful
(However, I don't really want that fox in a DLC unless we get another 100 more unique and common in zoos species before
)Well, a serow (specially the Japanese) could work as a tahr substitute, they are very similar. If any pack is going to have 2 goats, this is the only good choice, but they better be a very different goat from the markhor and the other goats we already have, because that would be our 7th goat in the game...
I have a slight preference for the hamadryas baboon, but anyway my question is... Has any DLC had a couple of species so closely related?? I can't recall any, and specially not when we only had 4 species per DLC.
I think for a second monkey the only one with real chances is the GSNM, it's true that the gelada is THE mountain monkey, but the GSNM is way more different from the hamadryas and highly demanded.
with the remaining animals;
-Wild yak
-Sumatran rhino
-Indian blackbuck
-Golden pheasant
-Japanese giant salamander(E)
Are you maybe mixing up tahr and goral?I love wise boi, will protect at all costs #AllFoxesAreBeautiful

Because serow and tahr really dont look all that similar imo. Serow and goral tho? Those look really similar
Yeah it will be weeks most likely, if the Iqa update on the steamdb is anything to go by it will be mid October.For me it is not important the theme of the DLC and what animals are there, I will take everything really, I just want to know if it will be the last or not...
Rather, there is nothing to count on today with the news, since they said weeks, right?
So not only is it a mediocre pack at best, we also have to wait another month for it.
WOW.
I'm just so baffled by this pack.
I swear I didn't want to be this negative but really how else am I supposed to react?
Okay, after a good sleep, I decided to be a bit more positive that we are still getting new animals at this point (still not thrilled that two of them are cats, but...
), even if this is the last pack. Mountain pack would be neat, but how would those other words such as Spurred or Dik-Dik fit into that? Could still be a zookeeper pack, but the artwork just screams Highlands to me.

Agree, but personally I'd like another species suitable to warmer climates. Bighorn sheep, maned sheep or even Walia/Nubian ibex would be nice for warmer zoos.
If you don't like the pack, why is it a problem to wait for it? Let's wait for the full line-up to see if you like it or not. Personnally I know I already love it.
Also, if someone told you it is not the last pack, how would you react? Maybe you would be fine and think those animal choices are not that bad and you still have a bit of hope to have the ones you want.
Honestly, just like Leaf said in his last video, I truly think we could get one or 2 other DLCs. I want to see the complete line up and the price of the coming DLC to make up my mind but I feel in my gut that it's not over yet. Frontier has been listening to us all this time, otherwise they wouldn't choose the most requested themes. If they want to push a little bit further there are only 3-4 big themes left that have been requested for a while: Latin America, Safari Pack, Coastal Pack and Zookeeper's collection. I truly think that with just a Latin America Pack and a Zookeepers collection they could cover pretty much the essential missing species (except for birds but we have to understand that they keep them for a sequel).
Anyway, to finish on a very positive notes I really want to thank PZ dev team(s) for their great work. Not everything is perfect but this game is insanely good! Keep up the good work.
Relax, my friend. The reason why I put PD deer in the second list is that the habitats of the three species that have been exposed are too different from those of PD deer. Objectively speaking, it is indeed a bit difficult. But if we don’t consider the species that have been exposed, my demand index for PD deer is very high, and I still think we have a chance to get it. After all, the process of saving this species is really wonderful.
It’s the only extinct in the wild status mammal right now and their conservation story is just outstanding.
I’m patient but I’ve been waiting for them from the very beginning and I’m at the point we’re I’m starting to loose my hope.
They’ve been skipped in wetlands, conservation and Eurasia. If they would also be skipped in suspected Asia it would be a disaster for me.
But that’s the way it goes I guess when you’re not so appealing as the grumpy cat
Please be a Vulture or Kea Aviary
Deep down I still hope that the pack might be good, or at least have something interesting (other than the Markhor which, to me, is perfect). Pallas' Cat is a nice surprise, and while I don't care about primates Hamadryas is a good pick.
However, the problem isn't what's in the pack (it is actually, but more on that later), the problem is: what ISN'T in the pack.
Tree Kangaroo, Echidna, Walrus, Secretary, Dik-Dik, basically all the animals I wanted will never show up in a mountain pack (MAYBE, huge emphasis on MAYBE, the tree kangaroo). So, to me, this pack already feels like a waste, because 4 out of 7 slots will be occupied by unnecessary clones and "filler animals" like, for example, spectacled bear or guanaco or yak. Animals that we already have, although in a slightly different colour (llama, highland cow, and don't get me started on the bears.)
As for the "this isn't the final pack"... Why wouldn't it be?
It's pretty clear that this is the final DLC. It's taken months to complete and it's not even released yet... I don't think Frontier will spend 6 more months working on a new Planet Zoo DLC, especially considering how PC2 is right around the corner.
We should simply give up on these stupid illusions and face reality as it is.

I don’t know why people are expecting to wait weeks for a trailer. They said ‘keep your eyes peeled’. They wouldn’t say that unless a trailer was coming soon.
I think the ‘next few weeks’ comment was on relation to the release of the actual pack! I’m hoping for a trailer before Wednesday next week.
