God of War: Ascension - Keine weiteren DLC-Inhalte mehr

Sony Santa Monica hat bekannt gegeben, dass sie keine weiteren DLC-Inhalte (Karten, Waffen, Rüstungen etc.) mehr für God of War: Ascension (ab 17,57€ bei kaufen) veröffentlichen werden. Die Entwickler wollen sich auf neue Projekte kümmern, heißt es im PlayStation-Blog . Trotzdem soll der Support für die Multiplayer-Komponente nicht eingestellt werden. Später im Oktober soll noch ein größeres Balance-Update erscheinen und da die Statistiken des Spiels bzw. der Spieler tagtäglich überwacht werden, sollen auch in Zukunft alle möglichen Balance-Exploits schnell behoben werden.

"As of today, we will not be producing any more DLC content (maps, weapons, armors, marks) for God of War: Ascension Multiplayer, as our primary team resources start to transition to other projects here at Sony Santa Monica. However - this is not the end of support for God of War: Ascension Multiplayer. Here’s what’s going down:

• Upcoming Balance Update - our Designers have plowed through mountains of gameplay feedback and are currently working on balance improvements that will tune-up all the Allegiances. We are aiming for this balance update to release later this month. Rest assured, things like the Ares Olympus Armor -20 (PR) is being heavily diagnosed.
• Dedicated Online Support - we will be monitoring online 24/7 and any new major balance exploits discovered in the weeks or months ahead, we will assess for fixing.
• PSN Digital Release in October - This month, we'll be releasing the digital download version of God of War: Ascension to the masses that have yet to experience the beginning of Kratos’ journey and our Ascension Multiplayer. The digital version will be released on October 15 for North America, with other regions to follow soon after. Make sure to check www.godofwar.com for updates on the digital release in your region.
  -All DLC items will receive special pricing options upon digital version release in their region (NA pricing options released on October 22, 2013).
  -The God of War: Ascension Soundtrack will be made available as a free download for all on PSN for a limited time only.
  -Double XP Weekend returns October 18 to October 21 worldwide.
