Spring 2024 DLC Speculation

[ScotiaMugdock]

Every year it’s been a tropical-themed pack (South America, South East Asia, Tropical) so I’m predicting either Central America or Rainforest.

Central America could include:
Black howler monkey
White-faced coati
Collared peccary
Central American red Brockley / Ocelot
Utila spiny-tailed iguana

Rainforest could include:
Golden lion tamarin
Lowland anoa
Crocodile monitor
Southern pudu
Vampire bat

I have 3 options

ISLANDS PACK

• Diademed Sifaka (CR)
• Banteng (EN)
• Giant Golden-crowned Flying Fox (EN) [WE]
• Matschie’s Tree-kangaroo (EN)
• Blue-spotted Tree Monitor (EN)

COASTAL PACK

• Sea Otter (EN)
• West Indian Manatee (VU)
• Southern Elephant Seal (LC)
• Hawksbill Sea Turtle (CR)
• Roseate Spoonbill (LC)

RAINFOREST PACK (My favorite option)

• Brazilian Porcupine (LC) [WE]
• Golden Lion Tamarin (EN)
• Lion-tailed Macaque (EN)
• Ocellated Turkey (NT)
• Yellow-throated Marten (LC)

Sorry if this is stupid, but would the Blue Shark be a possible candidate for the Coastal Pack.
The reason I think there are none in captivity is because they can get eaten by other fish in a tank.

Blue sharks are open ocean species. Open ocean animals tend to not fare well in captivity as they struggle to comprehend barriers.

The one and only shark for a coastal pack is clearly the epualette shark. Its capable of "walking" on land and does so willingly. Actually its far better at it than seaturtles ironicly enough

Oh yeah, that too.

Yes.

probably not since there is no precedent for fully aquatic animals and the way habitats are setup makes a fully aquatic habitat very hard to make. Maybe another sea animals that can utilise land.

Why not just make a natural lagoon just like in JWE2 but place a gate that opens to the open ocean since they migrate?

You just combined 3 base game-overhauling features that don't exist in the game in one sentence.

I still hope for a Planet Aqurium one day, but in PZ it would essentially require creating an entire new game engine for a single animal in a single dlc.

If I have offended you, I am sorry.

Agreed.

I find it very optimistic to discuss this DLC, as so far we don't have confirmation of it yet. I really hope it will occur, but the data files only indicate 16 packs for now i think.

Pack 16 was removed from the files which sparked the never ending doom is near discussions. The best confirmation we have is essentially frontier will make more dlc for as long as we keep buying them.

So was Anniversary 3

Maybe they just didn’t want to spoil too much?

We’ve seen a video of them talking about DLC for PZ and they act like there’s more than one. Plus we know DLC go through FY2024 which is until May of next year. If I see a summer 2024 thread though that’s a bit much.

I hope so!

Why though?

 

[NachoB]

Why though?

Because money

 

[Captain Callum]

Why though?

Why they removed it? Your guess is as good as mine. My guess is to stop the rampant speculation discussions that there's only (whatever number) left to the end of the game. We know the devs read these threads so every argument is open for everyone to see.

Or why they keep making dlc? As already stated it is money. Its always about money. The latest financial report basically said dlc sales exceed the cost required to make them which means an easy and reliable way of making profit.

Look where that got us lol now there’s even more discussions about it.
