Producer Takeshi Miyazoe has a “What you see is what you get” policy with the upcoming Dark Souls 2, stating that there will be no Downloadable Content for the anticipated sequel.
“For Dark Souls 2, we don’t even expect any additional downloadable content because we want to deliver a full game, the full experience, to fans who purchase the package from day one,” Miyazoe said in an interview with Edge. “We did do additional content for Dark Souls, but generally downloadable content for Dark Souls 2 is not really being considered. Buy the package and you’ll get the full experience, and you’ll have as much fun as anybody else.”
Miyazoe continued to debunk rumours of a free-to-play Dark Souls game stating that “Spending a couple dollars on certain items does not help the experience. So no free-to-play yet!”
Dark Souls 2 set to launch on the PS3, Xbox360 and PC on March 11th 2014.
