Mighty No. 9 developer Comcept has said that the game will get “potential DLC” if it manages to raise another $190,000 in funding by the end of this year. The content will include a new stage and a rival boss character named Ray.
Explaining the term “potential DLC.” Comcept said:
First of all, let’s clarify a few things up front, starting with what “potential DLC” means: The “DLC” term is there to make it clear that, no matter what, this content wouldn’t ship at the same time as the game. It would be need to be “DownLoaded,” putting the “DL” in “DLC” 🙂
Otherwise, this content would be “extra bonus content” – working the same way it did with the English voicework – that would be added on top of everything already promised as part of the Kickstarter. That means that, if we get the necessary funding from slacker backers we need to make it possible (more on that later), this would be extra bonus content! (FYI the English voicework will be included with the game at launch, but this DLC would come later.)
Comcept also clarified that none of the developers will begin working on this DLC until work is completed on the retail version of the game, which is “typically” done several months prior to the release date.
As far as the character Ray is concerned, he is Beck’s rival who is “a lone wolf character with no siblings” and “a robot with a big hole in its chest where its essential core should be.”
Is anyone interested in further backing or do you think Comcept might be overdoing it?
