I hope we get 2 more DLCs with a mix of what everyone would like this year. What do you guys think? Then we can wait until JWE3.
I put less dinosaurs, because there are alot of other amazing animals throughout Prehistory.
We already have 3 Paleozoic animals. (Dunkleosteus, Dimetrodon and Lystrosaurus)
And now the Cenozoic has made it's debut in the Game with Megalodon!
What do you guys think. Would you like to see these DLC'S and animals included in the game before development stops?
Thank you so much Frontier for making this Masterpiece of a Game for us Dinosaur Fans. I really appreciate everything you have done with making this game and perfecting it.
And thank you for throwing in Dunkleosteus and Megalodon. It's sheds light on other Prehistoric Time Periods.

Personally some dlcs I would be really nice to see include:
Prehistoric Flying Species Pack
The species I like to see used for this pack include:
1:
Mirarce, A genus of enantornithe bird from the Late Cretaceous of Utah. It was similar in size to modern turkeys. It is the most complete enantiornithine found in North America. The generic name is made up of the Latin mirus; beautiful, "for an impressive level of preservation and morphological details," with the addition of the name of Arke ( Ἄρκη \ Arkē ), the winged messenger of the Titans of Greek mythology - "for evidence pointing to an improved vehicle of this kind." The species name eatoni given in honor of Jeffrey Eaton in recognition of the decades of scientific work done on the Kaiparowits formation and the study of its fossil specimens.
2: Y
i qi, A genus of scansoriopterygid dinosaurs from the Late Jurassic of China. It is known from a single fossil specimen of an adult individual found in Middle or Late Jurassic Tiaojishan Formation of Hebei, China, approximately 159 million years ago. It was a small, possibly tree-dwelling (arboreal) animal. Like other scansoriopterygids, Yi possessed an unusual, elongated third finger, that appears to have helped to support a membranous gliding plane made of skin. The wings of Yi qi were also supported by a long, bony strut attached to the wrist. This modified wrist bone and membrane-based plane is unique among all known dinosaurs, and might have resulted in wings similar in appearance to those of bats. Researchers believe it was capable of gliding and given it could only glide limited distances, it likely preferred to live in forests.
3:
Caelestiventus, A pterosaur species from the late Triassic period found in Saints & Sinners Quarry of northeastern Utah in United States. It's name means heavenly winds. It is important because it is the sole example of a desert-dwelling non-pterodactyloid pterosaur and is 65 million years older than other known desert-dwelling pterosaurs. Caelestiventus is one of the largest known Triassic pterosaurs, with a wingspan of at least 1.5 meters (4.9 ft) and a skull 17.8 cm (7.0 in) long.
4:
Archaeopteryx, A genus of avian dinosaurs. It is believed to be capable of flying or gliding, but this is still being debated. It could reach up to 0.5 meters (1.8 feet) in body length and 0.7 meters (2.4 feet) in wingspan, with an estimated mass of 0.5 to 1 kilogram (1.1 to 2.2 lbs.).The name derives from the ancient Greek ἀρχαῖος (archaīos), meaning "ancient", and πτέρυξ (ptéryx), meaning "feather" or "wing". It is sometimes referred to by its German name, "Urvogel", which means Primeval Bird.
Permian Species Pack
Early Triassic Species Pack
Middle Triassic Species Pack
Late Triassic Species Pack (Discussed in another thread, which I'll post the link for here:
https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/early-and-late-triassic-packs.624986/)
Insectivore Species Pack
The species I like to see used for this pack include:
1:
Epidexipteryx, a genus of small paravian dinosaurs that lived during the middle or late Jurassic period that was found in the Daohugou Beds of Inner Mongolia, China (about 160 or 154 mya). It known from one fossil specimen in the collection of the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology in Beijing. Fossil evidence suggests its body was covered in feathers. Its name, Epidexipteryx hui, means Hu's display feather, and its Chinese name Hushi Yaolong ("Hu Yaoming's dragon") were coined in memory of paleomammologist Hu Yaoming. Epidexipteryx represents the earliest known example of ornamental feathers in the fossil record. It is thought to be capable of gliding.
2:
Mononykus, A genus of alvarezsaurid dinosaur that lived during the Late Cretaceous in what is now Asia on the Nemegt Formation, about 70 million years ago. It is estimated to have grown around 1 to 1.2 meters (3.3 to 3.9 feet) in length with a weight of 3.5 kilograms (7.7 lb.). It was an insectivore.
3:
Serikornis, A genus of small, feathered anchiornithid dinosaur from the Upper Jurassic Tiaojishan Formation of Liaoning, China. While a specimen was found to have had evidence of possessing feathered wings, it is believed to have not been able to fly. Its name means "Ge Sun's silk bird", a reference to the plumulaceous-like body covering evident in the fossil. The specimen's nickname, "Silky", refers to the striking resemblance of the delicate hindlimb filaments to the modern Silky breed of domestic chicken.
4:
Thrinaxodon, An extinct genus of cynodonts lived in what are now South Africa and Antarctica during the early Triassic period. It was roughly the size of a fox and possibly covered in hair. It's teeth structure suggests it fed on insects, invertebrates, and small herbivores. Its generic name was taken from the Ancient Greek for "trident tooth", thrinax and odon. The specific name is Latinised Greek for "smooth-nosed". It appeared in the Walking with Dinosaurs series.
I have two suggestions for expansions, which I'll list bellow.
Kenya Site Expansion (Discussed in another thread, which I'll include the link for here:
https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/the-kenya-site-expansion-dlc.624813/)
Dominion Aftermath Expansion (Discussed in another thread, which I'll include the link for here:
https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/2024-dlc-ideas-wishlist.622727/#post-10331934. I apologize if this not well named; I didn't originally make a name for this one. If you think of a better name for it please let me know.)
