Winter 2023 DLC Speculation

Flying Birds just in Planet Zoo 2, deal with it

We've had a couple of "hot weather" packs, so I wouldn't be at all surprised if we went to mountains/highlands/cooler regions next.
I see spectacled bear and wolverine mentioned a lot, and either of these would sell the pack for me.
What's the usual pattern for the winter DLC? We're looking at an early December release, right?
Never too early to start getting hyped...
 
im absolutely happy with the animals, but i think its a bit of a shame that this pack is very NZ and AUS focused.The Pack says Oceanic,but Oceanic region is more than just NZ and AUS. I would rather see animals from Papua New Guinea, Fiji, Samoa, or Solomon Island.
 
What interests me is what unique rig animals Frontier will add to a Highland pack?

They always add about 2 new rigs per DLC.

Most of Highlands potential roster would be comprised of clones. Yes, new climbing animations may be needed for some but not a whole new rig I think.

Possible Clone Candidates include:

-Markhor
-Takin
-Rocky Mountain Goat
-Yak
-Japanese Serow
-Himalayan Tahr
-Bharal
-Spectacled Bear
-Golden Snub Nosed Monkey (Proboscis)
-Urial
-Barbary Sheep
-Pallas Cat
-Monal
-Golden Pheasant
-Rhea

Now for the unique rigs

1) Baboon/Gelada?
2) Tree Kangaroo?
3) Condor/Eagle?
4) Giant Salamander?
5) Wolverine?

Anyone think of anything else?

I don’t think they’re too similar, especially if we only get scenery for one. Imo I think our options are:

Fall pack is probably gonna be a scenery pack, ive seen some people think it’s gonna be an animal pack back to back but I doubt it, since the only reason they switched it last year was to fit with Halloween theme. I’d say either a Children’s Zoo Pack with Mara, Squirrel Monkey, etc. which I personally don’t want but I know a lot of people do. I don’t want it cause the free updates keep getting smaller so we probably won’t get any big changes, as well as there aren’t a lot of exciting animals imo. I prefer a Temperate Pack with log cabin scenery and with Tasmanian Devil and Wild Boar being the headliners, or an Arboreal Pack with Tamandua and Tree Kangaroo, but temperate is probably more likely cause it’s the opposite of NA pack.

Winter should be a Mountains Animal Pack for sure. There’s so many options for animals, Spectacled Bear, Pallas Cat (I need it), Wolverine, Takin, Markhor, Pheasant, Baboon, etc. Plus the theme of mountains fit better with winter than fall.
Yes pheasant!

...Pallas' Cat! Could be cloned from the Sand Cat rig.
Yeah, I added Pallas and Monal. But I can only see those 5 unique rigs for a Highlands pack.

Assuming that flying birds is out of the question that means:

We get 2 out of 4.

-Gelada/Baboon
-Tree Kangaroo
-Giant Salamander
-Wolverine
 
Most likely scenario:

Taiga/Tundra/Highlands pack with possible roster:

Wolverine
Musk ox
Greater rhea
Takin
Markhor
Gelada or golden snub nosed monkey
Maybe the spectacled bear if they go with mountains instead of just cold climate.

What i would like: another surprise like the Oceania pack was (we were expecting the kiwi and the tassie just not like this). An animal pack with latinamerican animals. Don't expect it but i would LOVE it.
 
I hope for a mountains animal pack or a tundra animal pack;

Mountains;
-Markhor
-Gelada
-Golden takin
-Darwin Rhea
-Spectacled bear
-Alpine marmot
-Pallas cat(Though not a highly wanted pick, but hey, I can see it happen with the amount of high requests)
-Japanese giant Salamander(E)

Tundra;
-Walrus
-Southern elephant seal
-Saiga
-Wolverine
-Arctic hare
-Musk Ox
-Southern rockhopper penguin
-Lemming(E)

A wolverine is definitely high on my wishlish, but so is a walrus :) I would love to see them.
 
Assuming wolverine makes it, we can kiss a tundra pack goodbye.

I can't think of Frontier passing up on walrus, so I don't believe wolverine will be in a highland pack since they don't actually live in highlands.
You are right probably tundra/arctic then so no spectacled bear, but wolverine, musk ox, walrus, sea otter and the like
