The wait for Epic’s sequel to its alien-infested, chain-saw revving, blood bath (which, ironically, is the only violent game not to have inspired any real-life murders or shootings) Gears of War is still underway, but at least the wait for goodies upon release will be marginally shorter.
In a recent interview with Joystiq, lead designer Cliff Bleszinski stated that additional content would be released, “very soon within the [Gears of War 2] launch time frame.” Assurance, you ask? Downloadable content (DLC) for the game is being developed side-by-side along with the actual game at this point. Hopefully, they won’t skip on graphics quality. Don’t they know some gamers have the eyes of a hawk these days (can’t say how intelligent aforementioned hawk really is)?
DLC will be “multiplayer map focused”, according to Bleszinski. This could mean new gameplay modes and co-op features, along with new maps, which is surprising considering the number of additional features announced already. As of yet, no price frame has been announced for the content, but that just means you can get a head start on donating blood for a good cause (and cold, hard cash).
