The Callisto Protocol workforce Striking Distance Studios has been queried on its plans for post-launch assist and the potential of DLC, with the developer responding that it is planning 4 years’ price. That’s lots for a single participant solely sport — solely titles like Dying Light have achieved such a feat — however the workforce’s reply to any expansions is inflicting some confusion. It’s given the impression its DLC plans are nonetheless up within the air with the sport three months out. However, it is already promoting a season move.

The remark comes by way of an interview performed by True Trophies at Gamescom. CTO Mark James mentioned the next: “We’ve left the world expandable. We’ve created a world that may inform completely different tales, and so we will both inform these tales both by way of DLC, or we might really inform these tales by way of subsequent merchandise. We’ve left these open.”

A wonderfully regular remark to make, however expectations change whenever you’re already promoting a season move by way of pre-orders. On the PS Store, a Digital Deluxe Edition bundles in a season move for £74.99/$89.99. There are just a few bonus packs too, however these are additionally a part of the normal Day One Edition priced at £54.99/$69.99 on PS5. Therefore, the season move holds a price of £20/$20.

The PS Store itemizing does not element what you may get as a part of the season move, however with the sport now simply three months away, you’d prefer to assume these plans are not less than solidified internally. This does not seem like the case on the time of writing. True Trophies suggests some enjoyable DLC concepts in the course of the interview, however by no means is a concrete reply on what’s to be supplied shared.

James provides: “We like to think about this as a franchise — each developer once they [make a new] IP, they like to think about it as a franchise funding. It’s actually costly to generate a brand new IP, so we at all times wish to attempt to get probably the most out of it.”
