Maybe this is just me and idk why but I feel like it would be kinda weird to have the earth day celebration post in between that gap of reveals, kinda offsets it in my mind, idk.
Earth day is on a Monday (22nd), the last 3 DLCs have all been announced on Tuesdays, and the last 2 also have had a 1 week gap between announce and launch. So if they follow this trend of building up the hype over just a week, I could see them maybe doing an announcement on the 23rd and launching on the 30th- maybe? Cause then the unlocked stream is a day after announcement which could go over everything in it right away to get peoples attention faster like “Look what just dropped yesterday for Planet Zoo!” It makes more sense to me to put the announcement and livestream closer together.
We could get an update teaser on the Friday beforehand (19th) similar to Eurasia and the gift shops.
So for now that’s my locked in prediction of when we’ll get the pack. Announcement on the 23rd, launch on the 30th.
I wasn't necessarily saying that's when I thought it would be so much as that's the
earliest that it
could be.
But yeah... Your timing and pattern makes sense. I forgot the last timeframe was a lot shorter. And the livestream timing is pretty key. Teasing it during the stream just after announcement would make a ton of sense! That would also be a pretty comfortable ~1 month from console's release but about ~1 month out from whatever the next console DLCs are coming in June. Would also give a solid 3-4 weeks ahead of FY24 closing to get those sales in (which could be
really powerful if it's cross platform).
I'm on this train now. Maybe not exactly the 23rd... Could be Monday the 22nd too. But just before that Wednesday stream. With a drop on Tuesday, 4/30.
Did they announce when the next Frontier unlocked stream is gonna be? Would make sense to release the DLC at the same time
Not yet. But the last three have been on the final Wednesday of each month. So it's fair to assume that will continue and it will fall on Wednesday, 4/24.
EDIT: Just saw your other post, hah. That JWE2 pack release schedule just felt
so strange. It was short even for that game... And I just really feel they'll still try to tease a PZ DLC via livestream. They
know how successful those streams were. And I don't think this will be quite
as successful because it'll feel a bit more "generic" but... You gotta figure they're going to try something. I just don't see why they wouldn't try to pair it up around a stream.
