In what is a first for The Legend of Zelda franchise, Nintendo has confirmed that Breath of the Wild will get post-launch downloadable content. The significant expansion was revealed when the company announced that they would be selling a season pass for the DLC, taking many by surprise as the publisher has largely avoided adding extra content to their games via paid downloads. While the move to create DLC for the game has divided fans, Nintendo’s Bill Trinen explained exactly why they were introducing future expansion to the franchise for the first time. In an interview with IGN, Trien said that the expansion was still being worked on right now and would not be completed for some time, allaying fears that it would be content that was held back from the retail release of the game. “It was tough, because we actually had a lot of debate in terms of do we announce it, how do we announce it,” Trinen said. “I think one of the things that’s unique about

Rock Band Rivals (Xbox One) Review

Rock Band Rivals (Xbox One) Review

The return of the Rock Band series last year, alongside the latest Guitar Hero, heralded the return of the music genre that was once a billion dollar industry. However, the bottom soon fell out of the plastic instrument market thanks to oversaturation. With new releases coming at a rate of more than one a year, the appetite for additional games simply fell away. This has led Harmonix to take a different approach with Rock Band 4. Instead of releasing sequels, they are treating the latest instalment as a platform that can be built upon over time, getting rid of the need to develop new titles. This idea has seen the developer overhaul the original experience of the title into something that is almost unrecognizable to its launch version. The new philosophy also extends to their latest expansion. Rather than simply offer a host of new songs as they might normally have done, Rock Band Rivals is a piece of, rather expensive DLC, which introduces new features and gameplay modes. First

Destiny: Rise of Iron Outperforms Original Destiny Release

Destiny: Rise of Iron Outperforms Original Destiny Release

, , , , , 0

The latest expansion for Destiny, Rise of Iron, has outperformed the original vanilla release of the game. According to sales data released by Activision, Destiny: Rise of Iron generation $59.1 million in digital revenue in September. That’s some almost $13 million more revenue that the base game made when it originally launched in September 2014. Considering that the near $60 million in revenue excludes the physical release of Destiny: The Collection, the data suggests that the install base for the game is significantly larger than it was when the title first released, an oddity as most games are busiest in the first few weeks after launch. Of course, the swell in digital earnings could also be put down to new microtransactions that were introduced earlier this year. While some players have complained about the extra paid content, many have continued to buy the extra cosmetic items that are on offer.

Bungie Limiting Support For Legacy Versions of Destiny

Bungie Limiting Support For Legacy Versions of Destiny

When Bungie first announced the new expansion for Destiny, Rise of Iron, they revealed that the DLC expansion would only be available on Xbox One and PlayStation 4. Players on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 would have to sit this particular piece of content out, despite being able to purchase and play every piece of previous DLC. It now appears as if this is a trend that is set to continue into the future as the developer looks to be limiting support for “legacy” versions of the title. A support page on the official Bungie site explains how the two older consoles will no longer “receive major updates and content releases” and that only a few Destiny Events and Activities will be available to players on them.  Most notably, the iron Banner, Trials of Osiris and Live Events will no longer be available while Xur will only provide engrams rather than weapons and armor when he appears in-game. Meanwhile, the studio is remaining tight-lipped about the future of Destiny.

While Destiny wasn’t exactly met with outstanding critical acclaim when it first released, it has continued to have a dedicated fan following who regularly play the game. Even these players though have come to bemoan the lack of new content that has made its way to the title to keep it from getting stale. This is largely because Bungie has concentrated on large expansions rather than a continual stream of smaller content. However, after the release of The Taken King expansion pack, the developer has moved to releasing smaller content on a more regular basis. This has included the Festival of the Lost Halloween and the Sparrow Racing League. While they are currently working on a new DLC pack called The Rise of iron, the studio is aware that they need to release extra quests, items and missions to Destiny quicker than they have in the past. “We’re trying to get better at what we do,” said Rise of Iron creative director Chris Barrett in an interview with Eurogamer, “build

No Halo 5 Campaign DLC Planned

Halo 5: Guardians won’t be receiving any sort of campaign downloadable content, as developer 343 Industries wants to focus on other aspects of the game for expansions. Studio head Josh Holmes has explained in an interview with Red Bull that although the team is interested in finding new ways to get players involved in the world of Halo, they don’t have any plans to do that with further story content for the newly released shooter. “While we’re always looking for new ways to expand the Halo universe, we do not currently have any plans to release future campaign content for Halo 5: Guardians,” said Holmes. This makes sense as Halo has traditionally stayed away from expansion packs and story DLC, instead having more content added to the online multiplayer portion of the game via map packs. It would seem that 343 Industries intend to carry this on, with the release of 15 brand new maps released by June 16. As revealed in June of this year, these maps will also
