I’m 50/50 on if we are about to be pleasantly surprised and it could be something exciting, or business continues as usual.
With the layoffs I can imagine Frontier refocusing their efforts on their flagship games, so I can see something cool happening on the horizon. I can also see Frontier deciding to focus on new games and seeing Planet Zooisnt broken so they won’t fix it.
I’ll just be grateful for anything, and I highly doubt it could potentially impact discussion on the next dlc. I could be very wrong (I would love to be proven wrong) but have any of the past anniversary animals gave hints to the next wave of dlc??
I mean... It's free content. So it's going to be exciting no matter what, to be honest. Hah. And TBH, I don't think anything happening right now with Frontier would impact the content of the update itself (or the forthcoming December DLC). We may see a different roll-out for things which would make sense but... Beyond that I don't know what sort of impact it will have on Planet Zoo and its development, PDLC releases, etc. I don't necessarily see them ending things earlier than planned, but I'm also not sure they'd extend it.
My point about the anniversary update is that the animal
hasn't hinted at what the upcoming DLC was. So one could argue it could be a hint as to what we might
not expect. For example, if they were to give us the NA black bear or the wild boar? That could probably end any speculation about a temperate or woodlands pack for December. Or, say, if we were to get the wolverine or takin? Highlands or mountains might (shockingly) be ruled out. I don't think any of these are likely... They're just easy examples. Haha.
I do also wonder if another way of looking at this is if it's something they wanted to slide into another pack in the past but couldn't find room for. Or that they started to develop but had to stop early for one reason or another... I'm excited to see what it is.
