DLC plans?
Hey I haven't been following all the news or interviews about this game. I played VT and VT2, and 2 really just started to drain my bank and I stopped after only a few releases. I saw this game has a cash shop, are they still gonna make 30-40$ DLCs or are they subsidizing development with that?

Edit: to save time for those who actually read my question and wanted to know, most people don't, but if you did only one person answered the question already:

Idea is to go with Chaos Wastes model, free map/mission updates alongside paid premium cosmetics, later on maybe sell 4th premium classes again or bundle weapon dlc if cosmetic funding well dries out.

Expect everything to be paywalled and only payable in their monopoly money.

If you are listening to the team banter going on every once in a while, you can actually hear them talk about "the other hive city". The one "no one talks about". Is that good enough for a DLC?

While i hate the current cash grab Fatshark actualy spoke that they wont release DLC in the Winds of Magic style with Maps being cutoff for the players unless you empty your purse for it. Now if they will respect their promise is something else.

Yeah, this is more what I meant. Are the maps and updates going to be free, in exchange for the cosmetic shop? Because I can't be dropping 200$ on DLC for this game just to have all the maps and classes and ♥♥♥♥.

It's clearly going to Slanesh DLC, with maps that look like a Disco-tech with all kinds of Demon-Strippers, from the Heir Metal Mountain. However there is no way we will get to see the three ancient demons Uno, Boggle and Yahtzee.

yeah, again, not asking if they are going to have updates, im specifically asking if it's going to be 30$ DLC packs, like VT2 did. we're getting updates for sure. the question is am i pouring in 30$ more into this game every 6 months to keep up with them? games good at 40$, i wouldnt mind 10$ dlcs, but a big reason i stopped playing VT2 was because i stopped playing for a few months and to get all the new ♥♥♥♥ I was going to have to drop like 100$, and it just wasn't worth more than double what i paid for the game in the first place.

We've got content coming January and February.

Beyond that, we can only speculate on future DLC.

People thinking about DLC when some stuff aren't out yet, we don't have end game content on this yet.
Mazus Dec 24, 2022 @ 9:27pm 
fix their game first, then we can talk about DLC ideas

yeah the new dlc is the crafting system dlc and the any map any difficulty dlc and the refresh armory shop dlc and the class balance dlc and the build variety dlc. Also countless game stability dlc lmao.

Fatshark is incapable of doing that and they know it. Each new class for vermintide 2 took like 7-9 months to complete. With the state of the game being this incomplete there is no ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ way they will be able to pull off and new class every quarter. They are to mismanaged and to unorganized to ever hope to do something like that lol
