Just feeling out the room, does ANYONE think DLCs will continue to be released after the Spring? Or is it essentially a guarantee the spring will be the last?
I don't think that anybody thinks it's an impossibility that they
don't release DLC after the Spring. It just makes it significantly less likely. I
do think there's a possibility that we see a final animal pack get released in early June that is released for
both console and PC at the same time (otherwise I can see that getting to be a bit confusing; "sorry new players you have to wait for all these animals"). But I don't really see anything beyond that. If, for no other reason, than how confusing it could get from a marketing perspective.
With PlanCo, they slow-dripped the DLC packs every couple months and I suspect they would do the same for Planet Zoo. But I could see them releasing console along with Arctic and South America in early May with the 'final' animal pack in June (one month or so after console release). With the next two DLC for console coming later in the summer. And so on and so on.
Part of me almost wants to think a final pack might come a bit earlier than usual (e.g., late May) to be released alongside console and to get a final FY24 bump from Planet Zoo DLC for PC at the same time but... That feels super ambitious and I'd imagine could be overwhelming for new players: "Pay $45 for this game and also? Here's $30 worth of DLC you can buy at the same time!"
