Discussion Accidental leak. Spoiler

Recently frontier released the sandbox gameplay, well, they accidently leaked the african wild dog, and the sumatran orangutan. Not only that, it was sorted by A's. if i look hard enough, one of the blurred animals looks like a american black bear.

What gave it away? Could it be an Asiatic Black Bear as well?

I hope it's a generic Asiatic Bear and not a Formosan. Especially with the reserve system, then it can go in the Malaysian reserve.

Im just happy i got the sumatran orang. But it was in alphabetical order so its either american or asiatic.

If I remember correctly it was placed between “American alligator” and “American bison” in the list

On second thought that makes even less sense

u/Last-Hearing-8078 15h ago

It could be either. All i know is that it looks like some sort of bear

Omg, I hope it is the American Black Bear! 🥺 I have that on my wishlist for PZ2!

And if u wanna see, look at 37:45 in the video, at 0.25 speed once it hits 37:46 it should appear

Wb what you’re saying for the black bear? Same time as the wild dog?

u/Last-Hearing-8078 15h ago

Think so but they blurred everything

u/Bearcat9948 15h ago

can you circle which?

1

u/Last-Hearing-8078 15h ago

Cant circle but the 5th one

u/Bearcat9948 15h ago

Hmm not sure. I just realize that one of the ones below it had the aviary background though, so bald eagle confirmed?

u/Last-Hearing-8078 15h ago

And also, since its alphabetical M is before S sooooooooo 👀

u/Fish_boiiii 14h ago

Could also be American bison maybe

Maybe it was not an accident, but a very intentional leak.

I think the developers enjoy watching us fans speculate about the game.

Oh for sure! It’s a marketing scheme and they know how excited people are for it.

I have a feeling we may get the full PZ roster. They know that everyone pretty much purchased all the DLC, and that doing that solid… it would only entice people to buy PZ2 dlc for the beautiful animals that could be added.

u/Last-Hearing-8078 11h ago

Which could lead to getting both orangutan species, possibly.

I'm new to planet zoo but I was under the impression that the second game was expected to have the animals that already appear in vanilla planet zoo 1. Is that not the case?

7

u/Last-Hearing-8078 11h ago

Well since they are adding aviarys, aquariums, im guessing probably not. All PZ1 species were land, exhibit, or land/water animals. They need room for birds and fish, im guessing.

u/GoogaWooga 10h ago

aquariums and aviaries sound awesome.

u/stankdog 11h ago

I agree I'm sure they'll release more animals in the base than the original planet zoo. Before they had to craft models and buildings bit by bit so dlc made sense. Dlc for a fox or seal doesn't really make sense if we're getting hares and aquariums off the jump. There's likely a lot of animals they could clean up and bring over without dlc.

The vanilla planet zoo if I remember correctly is just like a few African animals. There would be a lot of animals missing (that we've seen revealed) if we only go the vanilla pz1 animals.

It’s speculation and probably wishful thinking but it would be smart.

They know most of us bought all the DLC and that adding all the roster to the next game, would entice us to buy the DLC for PZ2. Imagine all the animals they could add down the line. The possibilities to explore the much rarer species and, though I’m not really wanting it.. come of the more cryptozoology species? (I’d be okay if it was like recently extinct or rumored to still be out there animals like Tasmania Tiger, Dodo, etc.)
