Spring dlc Speculation 2023

They can explore the Amazon river on a boat too...
I think taking “exploration” as meaning “anywhere that can be explored” is far too broad of a theme to make sense or be marketable. I don’t expect a grab bag theme, there’s got to be something specific tying it together, even if it’s loose. This could still wind up just being a Tropical or Rainforests pack, in which case obviously most of the SA usual suspects are on the table. But I think if they go with a “made up” theme like Exploration, it’s going to be because the species selected are either more (see: the nocturnal woodland species of the Twilight Pack) or less (see: the geographically unrelated Conservation Pack) specifically linked than a simple biome label would cover. Otherwise they’d just call it the Rainforests Pack or whatever.
 
So people, whats your dream packs that still make sense?
Id be more then happy with the pack being a rainforest scenery pack with the fossa, a SA monkey, pig nosed turtle and low land anoa with an SEA scenery theme.
Ironically its still 3 island animals, but i honestly dont care, SA needs a monkey, continental asia doesnt have more interesting tropical non primates then indonesia and the pig nosed turtle is based.
It will also clean up some room for a future island pack, eventhough it ironically takes out the one of the 4 main contenders that isnt from oceania
 
But at what point is it appropriate to add the devil so that it does not take up slots from animals that are less likely to make it in later on? Why can other animals that are high on the metawishlist be added (like the fossa) but not the devil? I'm super biased of course, but this argument just doesn't hold much water to me.
My opinion is also biased here. To me, the typical island trio is just not very interesting to get all at once in a scenery pack. I'm fine with all of their inclusions in the game, I would just rather it was in a scenario we hadn't guessed 3 months ago. Leaving us with one surprise habitat spot that could be something good, but could also turn out to be a tanuki...
I would also prefer the devil over the fossa, should I only choose one.

Id rather have a devil then the fossa, but its how it is.
Personally i give a damn on the wishlist as most popular =/= best or even good addition to the game and i rather have frontier give us fun picks that have more things going for them then being popular.
Not saying nothing on the meta wishlist has something going for them, but consistently the more whacko additions where the ones i found much more usefull.
 
Dream scenario:
Explorers/Tropical Pack
  • Two Toed Sloth
  • Fossa
  • Red River Hog
  • Lar Gibbon
  • Lorikeets OR Macaws (WE)

Nightmare:
Islands Pack
  • Fossa
  • Tasmanian Devil
  • Kiwi
  • Tree Kangaroo
  • Lord Howe Island Stick Insect (E)

Not that the Islands Pack is a NIGHTMARE, I just have no need for any of those animals right now and it’d be predictable…

A Tropical scenery Pack or even an Explorers Pack like suggested would be a real surprise, and I’m definitely here for that!!!
Both Packs would be a dream Pack for me to be honest. Both with Highlights. Perhaps not your or my Personal ones but for the Community as a whole

Since we appear like we're getting the Fossa and a scenery pack, I still hope it's an Islands Pack. Turning a Rainforest pack into a Scenery pack would be disappointing as there are so many animals that could be in it that won't be.

If it is a Rainforest scenery pack, Fossa seems confirmed and I cannot imagine they would do this pack without a Sloth. That still leaves two habitat animals.

Eh the 'nightmare' pack seems to travel around way too much, it has lost all volume of a unique pack when everyone suggests it. With now Indonesia theming at least hinged, I'm so glad frontier went with the unique creative option to a (possible) islands pack

I'm not saying it should be added because it's at the top of the metawishlist, I'm contesting the idea that it should be postponed (more than it already has been anyway) because it's at the top of the metawishlist. I love oddball picks too but that doesn't mean we should avoid adding popular animals either.
 
I am 90% sure that at one point when the dev guy talked about update the girl in front said "Hogs" and made a wird face (like an whoops). Also like the skunk slip during twilight stream I think it was intentional. So my guess is rainforest if not something similar
OMG, do you have the timecode of the video for that ?
