Spring 2024 DLC Speculation

I feel like the Arctic missing Walrus and Musk Ox is similar to Oceania missing Tree Kangaroo and Echidna, they are wants not essentials. Difference is is that Oceania’s introduce unique species whereas Arctic just doesn’t bringing in 2 reskins. However I can see where people are coming from wanting the Ox.
Echidna clears other three, in my humble opinion, even as a simp for ❄️certain animals❄️ myself

Considering the North American continent stretches to Panama you could easily make a North American pack be a stealth South America pack too.
That would be a fun sight, Frontier releasing pack under NA name, only for it to be filled with tropical monkeys, ocelots and agoutis
 
North vs South Americas pack

Give me a spoonbill/ pelican/ burrowing owl/ scarlet ibis and you wouldn’t hear an ounce of complaint out of me. If twilight can be a stealth NA pack, than a NA pack can be a stealth SA pack.

Also I find the agouti to be a very underrated rodent. I still find there is a handful of rodents that can 100% work in game as is. The red rumped agouti is pretty high up there for me.
 
If we get another North American pack I don’t think it should be a snake, but rather a lizard, like a chuckwalla or something.
Chuckwallas strike me as pretty generic Iguanians. I know they're a decent bit smaller, but Horned lizards seem like a better direction (they decently resemble Thorny Devils which is maybe a problem, maybe not).

Yeah I don’t really understand their thought process here. For someone who wants the game and can’t save up for it in time of the release to not get the chance to enjoy these animals, it seems messed up to me, like if they want to get the animals later on then they should get the chance to pay for them, frontier gets income from this and players get more animals even if they have to pay for them, I genuinely don’t know what they’re thinking.

Also it wouldn't require any kind of extra effort from their part either. They already have been ported to console for this preorder exclusive. This is just being a jerk for the sake of it. Just sell them separetly later on.

Is this kind of things that really make me doubt they listen to our wishes and makes me loose faith in a good final DLC, probably not even SA focus.

If I can’t get the three animals I want on console then I’m not gonna get console and stick to PC.

I can imagine some poor sap realizing there is a cool new animal game on console, then seeing they can never get a KOMODO DRAGON. A STAPLE OF ZOOS AND THE WORLDS LARGEST LIZARD. All because they either: didn’t have the money now, or didn’t get the game in time.

Very not cool move Frontier.
 
I’ve floated around the idea of getting console, but I’m definitely not gonna get it now. Why would I ever buy a zoo game knowing animals I like are 100% locked away?

I’m gonna guess they will reverse the decision eventually, especially due to backlash. At least I hope they do, got to say I didn’t expect frontier to do this. Granted, a company is gonna be a company.
