Spring 2024 DLC Speculation

I have yet to hear caracara brought up until now! They are sometimes found in SA and are pretty fascinating. I remember when I was in undergrad going to a grad student's talk about caracaras. It was required to attend a seminar for genetics class... She was defending for her MS or PhD. I don't remember which... But it was a really cool talk because she went to the mysterious Falkland Islands to study a bird I had never heard of until that point. I remember hearing about the birds' personalities.

So yeah I personally would root for the caracara has an oddball.
Caracaras are super common where i live. We call them caranchos. They are cool but not very exotic to me haha
 
a habitat bird rig that also is able to roost using the current climbing/jumping mechanic
I got the bird right here:

Here it’s even the same picture to help!
 
Though if we were gonna get a bird with perching mechanics using the current system, I would want to get multiple birds in a pack. Having just one (and most likely the peacock too) would make it a limited mechanic.

I imagine that would be coming in the inevitable sequel unfortunately, I don’t think we will get a bird centered dlc or more free birds anytime soon.

(Unless that is what Frontier meant when they said we would be “happy” with the dlc)

Ugh it drives me nuts the peafowl can’t perch in game. I fear they are leaving more birds for a sequel but we were surprised with the sawn addition so I am holding out hope. If we get any birds for the walkthrough it would be an instant buy for me ha ha
 

I’m not arguing the more the better 😎

Though it doesn’t belong to Africa, the scarlet ibis also has a ton of cool interspecies bonuses it can work with.

Maybe if the two DLC theory holds true I can get a Central America scenery pack with the following:

  1. Black Howler Monkey/ any monkey
  2. White nosed coati
  3. Scarlet Ibis
  4. White faced whistling duck
  5. Two toed sloth WTE (I don’t really care about the exhibit much I’m happy with anything)
 
My exact reaction when they teased the fruity rainbow cocktail and everyone said its finally a bird only for the flying fox to show up 😂
I was in a study space with my GF and I was excitedly telling her how it’s gonna be the rainbow lorikeet

“BABE ITS A FRUITY-FLOWERY COCKTAIL, RAINBOW LORIKEETS ARE POLLINATORS, THE COLORS MATCH (close enough) WE ARE FINALLY GETTING A BIRD!!!!”

Frontier: it’s a bat again

It must have made the office space a bit awkward for a sec, granted (in the most polite way possible) they did it to themselves. They:
  1. Surprise announce WTE
  2. Add a bat
  3. Add butterflies
  4. Add a sloth
  5. Never deny birds aren’t coming
  6. The stream obviously had a bias to Oceania animals (kiwi and devil horns, it was coming) and was a fruity colorful drink about pollinating. I wonder what super famous bird, WTE safe for guests and super common in zoos, could match that description perfectly?
Remember hindsight is 20/20, even as WTE went to a sloth and a snake was announced we had no reason to doubt. Only when the second bat was announced did I find myself finally not believe a (flying) bird was coming. So who knows, maybe they tried to do the lorikeet but it didn’t work right and changed it. Or maybe they never intended it at all. Still I kind of wish to see what goes on in that office. THE SECRETS I WISH TO KNOW 👀
 
I think there is potential for a really great safari pack. So i think there are worse ideas for a last pack, but also better ones.
And my opinion on a Safari pack depends heavily on the roster, probably more so than with every single other pack idea

Would be acceptable if it wasn't the last pack. But as the last ever dlc it would be a nightmare for me.
