Wait what? final DLC?

[Fadden]

Is the game abandoned after the storm DLC???

[Homer Morisson]

Final DLC doesn't necessarily mean final patch/update... but who knows.

While I'm hoping for more than just characters as DLC, and I'm disappointed if this is the end of their DLC, it's a far stretch to call it abandoned since they've released a complete game with a full story.

You're right, it definitely wasn't abandoned, I was just hoping for more post launch content is what I should have said. Badly phrased on my part.

It's Jake Solomon's last.

But I doubt it's the last DLC given new Season Pass crazy CEO.
2K+Firaxis gonna milk MMS for all it's worth...cos we're suckers for more DLC

For those who still can't quite figure it out, this is the last DLC this game gets.

I'll be honest, I don't think the Season Passes or DLCs sold all that well for this game. A lot of people ended up getting the Legendary Edition at a massive discount, giving them the base game and the Season Pass content for the same price the Season Pass costed on its own. And considering they're currently working on Civilization 7, they're likely putting focus on making sure Civ's massive fanbase are satiated.

As for abandoned? Well, I suspect they'll likely continue providing patches and updates to keep the players happy.

I'm 95% sure there wont be any more DLC for this game after Storm. Maybe a couple of bugfixes and balance changes.

[Potches]

Looking at how the Storm DLC was handled..

Why did the team announce a post for a future announcement post?

I think the team sat on the twitter post for a week before announcing, to find the best way to say goodbye to the game

[Immortal Aura]

not a chance we get anymore dlc. its no secret this game didnt sale well, and id imagine the dlc sales are even worse. as much as we like the game, it was a total flop.

Blood Storm is the last DLC and the Nintendo Switch version has been cancelled.
The game was a commercial flop.

XCOM3 is coming

The Switch cancelation is rather sad. I mean, I can see how it can be a challenge due to the touch screen, but it'd have been fun to tap on cards and dictate movement through your fingers rather than by a controller.

it is kind of weird though... xcom 2 and the civ games had alot of dlc. even over a year passed

XCOM Collection was also released on touch screen - so wouldn't definitely see a challenge for this game to be on switch except for poor sales.

Wow, Barely 6 months after the games launch they are calling it quits? Do they not realize that 100 dollars is a lot of money for a lot of gamers? Even 60 is a lot especially for Niche games. I've bought 3 games on launch the last 10 years, more often than not i don't even think about a game till a year or so later.

Making announcements like this does nothing to help their cause, Now anyone thinking about grabbing it will say, It's a dead game and wait for a 10 dollar sale. Talk about BAD marketing

Who's dumb idea was it to market a game with a season pass on day one? release a game, patch up the game, add a little to make the players know they are working on it, and then drop a pass 6 months or a year later. because if your going to to it that way, you at least need to cut the price. Base game 30-40, pass 25-30, which makes it just a hair over a AAA game, not nearly double the price.

This was just a colossally bad marketing, especially for a super hero game. Maybe they will learn something from this, but all i see is a massive blunder. Also, People don't like live games for the most part, for every one that works there are tons that don't. Looks like they just wanted to make bank seeing marvel movies make so much cash and saw a gold mine, and forgot that games are different.

I'm not blaming the devs, I'm blaming an incredibly bad marketing plan and dev cycle management and thinking they are planning to make 100's of millions verse the game dictating what it should be making.
