Next COTW Map?
I’m going to go ahead and throw my hat into the abyss and say the next map is going to be in Mongolia. Most of it is a hunch, but I have my reasoning. When you look at EW’s history they rarely release maps in the same continent back to back. The only exception was Rancho —> Mississippi. But that was justified because Rancho and Mississippi shared no species other than Whitetail. EW doesn’t like to repeat animal rosters between two sequential releases. Mongolia is not only in separate continent from the last map, but it’s in an area that is under represented. It could offer a bunch of unique species to the game that you’ll definitely not find on Scotland. Plus, it was in that questionnaire awhile back. You know what else was in that questionnaire… Falconry. And you know what Mongolia is known for? Yes Poland was also on the questionnaire but I don’t think EW is going back to Northern Europe. An Amazonian map is just as likely with this reasoning if the Capybara rumors are to be believed. I don’t think we’ll get an African map yet. EW will probably save that for the game’s 10 year anniversary. But I’ll probably be wrong. I just wanted to get my thoughts out there in case I do get lucky and guess the next map’s setting. Then my fragile ego can be satiated. 😊
