Spent the last half hour reading some of the older messages in this thread cause I didn't want to get up and wanted to sit on my computer more lol - What month if you had to choose one, do you think the next (and possibly last) DLC is coming in? Cause I really think its in June since JWE2 had their final pack very close to their last one, but then again it could be all the way into Fall, but that feels like it would be too long of a gap and a) cause players to lose interest in the game and b) distract people from the new management game coming probably in November.
I'm still thinking late August/early September (sometime in the four week period of 8/19 and 9/13). June feels too soon and July feels like a dead zone. It
feels like a long time. But there was ~4 months between the Eurasia and Barnyard packs and that would be roughly the same amount of time.. So is it really that unreasonable at this point? A year ago or so I would have agreed with you, but not where things stand now...
"But wait! They already broke that pattern with JWE2!" They sure did. Secret Species pack dropped on March 13th. The Park Manager's Pack was released
two months later on May 16th. June would be 1.5 months or so (maybe 2 if it were released tail-end of June) which just feels
way too soon between DLC drops especially given the context they provided during the last Frontier Unlocked around what the PZ team was doing... And JWE2 has a key X-factor that PZ doesn't have to contend with at the moment: A new sequel in the pipeline! Makes good a sense as any to button-up those obligations and move along to the next one in a hurry, no? They can take a bit more time with PZ because the "washout clock" hasn't started ticking yet.
In contrast, PZ has the console game keeping general interest up and the die-hards are willing to wait. We all know something's coming.... Just a matter of when. And I'm still thinking the "later this year" word choice was
super intentional during that last livestream to let people know that they just need to be patient. Heck, maybe they'll repeat that again this month just to be sure! I've also not given up hope on this last pack being a bit bigger given the length of time between the winter and spring DLC (and effectively, them cutting out a summer DLC entirely).
I'm happy to be wrong and get something in June, obviously, but if that were going to be happening I'd think we'd see an outsource_lqa update at this point...
