Spring 2024 DLC Speculation

Tbf my main gripe with the souvenir shops is that even though they are fully modular, there is still not much customisation.

Like, what do you mean half of the gifts are Panda themed? I’m building a small budget countryside zoo with no Giant Pandas in sight!

I just want a couple more plushies for those gift shops - give us maybe a tiger, a lemur, a meerkat, a sloth, and a hippo plushie, simples. A couple more posters of different animals, maybe a few more t shirts and jigsaws etc. That, and the ability to designate one type of plushie for each shelf, would fix all the world’s problems for me.
 
Oh fam...NO NEWS AT LEAST TILL LATE APRIL. Lqa drops 4 to 5 weeks before the release date. 2 weeks of marketing beforehand. We've only done this SIXTEEN times!!!

Now watch my zoo-based TikTok.

Where'd you get that caiman?!





(This is a joke, by the way. I know that's actually a gharial🙄)
 
Maybe news tomorrow? The next Frontier unlocked is a week from now? With an announcement you have a full week to advertise. Though I, really guessing we won’t hear anything till next week.
Imagine we're all wrong and we get no announcement until May🤣
And to make matters worse, it's called the North American-European pack, featuring animals from Europe and NA only

Edit: post before I edited it

Oh man, y'all, the bald uakari was just confirmed:

I see you stepped out into the Australian sun for a bit.

This was years ago, but my ex-girlfriend went out canoeing into the sea with her brother, and they both went to sleep for a few hours. She ended up in hospital for a few days with 3rd degree burns on her legs.

Australia is just a fancy word for Texas🤪

Oh man, that's terrible. I'm glad to say that it wasn't so bad, I only had 2nd degree burns. I'm actually healing quite fast with aloe vera and just taking it easy, but it still stings/itches so much, especially my face
 
But I think that this pack has potential, honestly, and it spices things up by giving us animals nobody really thinks about when making wishlist packs. After all, who else would think of the screamer other than the bane of Planet Zoo-keepers worldwide: DarthQuell?
I've been a screamer advocate for a while too! I don't think the coati could ever be left out, though.
 
If Frontier’s Twitch page shows “Next Stream Weds April 24”, does that mean anything? Or does it always say “Next Stream Weds” regardless of whether there’s an Unlocked stream forthcoming? I’m in the US if that matters.
 
The absolute coolest thing would be an option like the billboards for the souvernir pieces, so you can sell mugs, tshirts and so on with your zoos logo, a star animals or whatever on it.
There’s a mod for that! ;)
We already have some of the statues shrunk down to be used as gifts. Why not ALL of the statues?
Or… Just give us scaling and save themselves the re-work. Haha.

And there’s a mod in the works for this too!

That is when the next unlocked stream is we have know this for a while we have no idea what that means for planet zoo though could be nothing

Maybe! I don’t think they’ll tell us exactly what it is but they may hint that some news is coming for PZ with whatever is in the agenda.

Could be as vague as “We have some exciting stuff to show you for one of our games! Stay tuned to our socials to learn more.” Or something generic like that.
 
Oh fam...NO NEWS AT LEAST TILL LATE APRIL. Lqa drops 4 to 5 weeks before the release date. 2 weeks of marketing beforehand. We've only done this SIXTEEN times!!!
Do I really have to tap the "the time between the LQA branch being updated vs reveal is entirely based on the amount of translation work that needs to be QA'd" sign again? 👀

The news will come when it comes, don't pin it on 4 to 5 weeks just because that was the case in the past, it can change at any given moment.

Like, what do you mean half of the gifts are Panda themed? I’m building a small budget countryside zoo with no Giant Pandas in sight!
In all fairness, literally every zoo I've been to sells panda stuff and only one of those zoos actually had giant pandas 😂 Giant panda stuff just sells well either way.
