Fall DLC 2023 Speculation

[Markiz]

Oceania pack without Tree kangaroo and Echidna seems super weird

Yeah but that would mean Tassie, Kiwi,Roo and Echidna in same pack, and I'm sorry but we just don't get packs like these.

I always try to mention it in speculation threads. People should always expect at least one - two picks that just won't be popular and would be easy to make from existing rigs. And Roo and Echidna are neither

I'd go for either little blue or rockhopper to be honest. I think this pack is actually better than Grasslands as far as animal type "diversity" goes.

It just occurred to me that the orange peel spiral they added to the blue drink could be intended to evoke the image of the rockhopper's crest. This is very possibly just a cope attempt on my part, but I kind of genuinely do feel like this might be the rockhopper,

The thing is - the first and biggest reason everyone hopped on penguin train is blue in name and color of cocktail.

If we remove that the hints for penguin species are not as steadfast.

Pretty much not comparable.

Since I'm bored let's start a tree kangaroo vs quokka laughing/smiling face-off. (I still think it will likely be quokka though)

Well blue could mean it's found in the ocean, not exactly a solid clue.

Who's "battling" over it being tree kangaroo? Nobody has posted a single actual reason it could be.

Maybe I'm confusing posts here with those on various Discord servers and Twitter but... It's definitely in the conversation. People are being pretty aggressive about it (in a funny way, TBH).

And if I didn't post that the tree kangaroo was a possibility because of the "smiling" drink's name: I meant to. It's still a possibility.

If it is the Quokka then just prepare yourself for this....

Speaking of free updates, we got underground bubble view thing and brachiating orangutan so far. What's next? Will Malayan Tapir finally get a make over?

No one knows.

This is fair. I myself first suggested little blue penguin before we saw the drink strictly because of the word "cerulean". It probably is the little blue penguin. But still, the association between penguins and pebbles definitely exists regardless of any other hint. Between that and the drink being slush-based, not to mention the "hop on over to our next drink" and "rocky shore" phrasing, I don't think there's nothing to go off of here.

I get this. But (and this is a serious question) wouldn't the Tasmanian devil and the penguin be relatively straight-forward in terms of rigs, animations, and so on? My understanding (which may be flawed) is that they would be.

This is where I'm at! Hah. It's really, really odd to me that they haven't posted the full update post yet. Which means there's either something they don't want to spoil or it's a smaller update and they figured teasing it in this way might create more hype (and if that was the intent--it worked).

Real curious to see how they roll it out. Would be wild if they announced it after the DLC.

I'll cope with you

Never

Absolutely, I don't think there's nothing and it may very well be the Roskhopper, which would be fantastic, I just think that they're usually more on the nose with their hints

Are you all sure the firecracker punch was for the Tasmanian Devil? Because I made a quick Google search and it seems that the firecracker punch is a cocktail they make in America for the 4th of July...

(My only goal here is obviously to add more chaos to the forum )

Ha, good one. No that's all we know, maybe we'll know more later today, but probably more news tomorrow

Quokkas are actually my favorite marsupial so i'm stoked if we get them. I sure don't want the macaque. They creep me out. If turns out to be a tree kangaroo i would be equally happy. I'm already pleased with this pack and we don't even know what exact animals it has lol

Penguin sure, Devil and Kiwi should get new animations , Quokka modified Wallaby (I actually never see them move)
