So, not really sure what to name this thread but it’s basically about the current state of the game, why I feel the game’s interest in declining, and what’s ahead for the future (some speculation)
There’s no doubt that the state of Planet Zoo as of right now, October 15th, 2020, is at a pretty low point. Not much communication, speculation, gameplay content from creators, news, updates, and just plain excitement. And this seems to be a pattern with the game throughout the (almost) year it’s been out for. In between the SA and Arctic Packs, in between the SA and Australia Packs, and right now in between the Australia Pack and the next one. There’s about a month of excitement and enjoyment in the community following and preceding the certain DLC. But, that’s only 2-3 months out of the year... that’s just not enough. Since there’s no excitement in the community, I’m not excited to play the game. This game is still incredible and I play it almost every single day, but these days it’s kind of a drag to get ideas, and just enjoy playing.
No way what needs to happen is a big question. Do they go for smaller packs and less frequent or larger packs and more distant. I, personally am in favor of smaller packs more frequently, to keep the creative juices flowing not just for me but for the overall excitement of the game. The anniversary is quickly approaching, just under three weeks now. So, if they are doing something for the anniversary, which I’m sure they are (whether it be a DLC, free animal, update, etc.), we would know about it maybe soon, as soon as in under two weeks.
Now I know a lot of people want Marine DLCs and Aviary DLCs. Guess what, it ain’t happening... for now. The next DLC will not be a marine or aviary expansion/dlc, 99% sure of it. It will most likely be a normal DLC but this one needs to pack more of a punch. These DLCs, while really good, run dry after a few weeks. I know quarantine and COVID has slowed down operations with Frontier, but now as the world is (slowly) getting back to normal, I feel like it’s time for a little more engagement, even if it’s just a quick message from Chante giving a little hint or teaser to what their working on. Just something to keep us intrigued, and to keep us playing.
So I’m interested to see what y’all think isn’t going to happen with the game going forward. Will we get an anniversary DLC? An anniversary update? What will it be? Will we even get one before the end of the year? Let the speculation begin!
