Why do they call it GOTY when there is no DCL?

[Kevfactor]

JJust wondering. Makes no sense to me for some reason lol.

Because it was selected as Game of The Year, obviously.

You get three unlockable outfits and new boss challenge mode.

That was more of a free update than dlc tho, no?

I don't understand what DLC has to do with the game being a GOTY...?

[Frank]

It's says GOTY because it won GOTY in 2019.

Many games have GOTY editions (wether they won goty award or not) which include all DLC. That's what OP meant I think, since sekiro never got dlc it's same as base game a year ago

[Hogarth]

ah yes the infamous DCL

[ice]

because believe it or not it's possible to make a great game without it needing dlc and microtransactions!

maybe you don't know because you're young child but once upon a time there were games released in a fully completed state instead of trying to sell extra bits and pieces of it

Yeah I mean this. most games that use GOTY edition (or any other type of edition) were not compete at the state. e.g. Boarderlands and it's expansions. Also, when you add the word edition to a game, it's referring to that there are other versions of the game too hehe.

Im a souls fan btw. Sekiro rocked :)

Idk i just say this during the sale and thought was there DLC that I missed lol

yeah, no, there was only a free update that added the boss rush mode and skins. that was all. I wish they made sekiro longer or even made DLC for it maybe if need be rather tan getting overrated open world dark souls 3... luckily I can keep playing sekiro for ages thanks to mods :-)

back on topic. I think this GOTY edition thing is purely marketing. Just so to draw a few more ppl in. even if they were just to check the info page to see if sekiro got dlc,
or if they'd buy the game regardless and thought oh well, seems game got DLC and updates over the years so I guess I should buy it now during a sale,
or merely slapped it now due to fact it won actual goty award...

whatever the reason, yeah, all it got was small few patches for few bugs and balance changes and that one "big" free update that added boss rush mode aka gauntlets, ability to replay boss fights, 3 skins and one new combat art.

it never got any real proper expansion; so yeah, a bit misleading since goty editions usually indicate that it's a package with DLCs and not that game won goty award.

i always found it weird that they often call DLC editions GOTY edition instead of some other non sense they usually go for like full edition, super ultra delux golden jesus on a unicorn edition, etc...
