Closing Fantasy 16 has one other little bit of DLC nonetheless but to come back, although it feels like there may very well be extra after that (you simply should not maintain out a lot hope).
When Closing Fantasy 16 launched final yr, its lead devs weren’t truly certain if it could get DLC or not – that trusted how effectively it did. Clearly, it carried out adequate to warrant two rounds of expansions, the primary being Echoes of the Fallen which launched final December, the second being The Rising Tide, due out this spring. Now, in a current interview with Sport Informer, Closing Fantasy 16 producer Naoki Yoshida and DLC director Takeo Kujiraoka spoke of what the longer term for the sport is perhaps relating to additional rounds of paid content material.
“That is a troublesome query,” Yoshida responded. “My trustworthy reply is, ‘I do not know in the mean time,’ however on the identical time, the likelihood is not solely zero. I do not need to bar out any actual potentialities presently. The reason is is that we did spend loads of effort […] and time creating this recreation […] and we put loads of innovative know-how into this recreation.
“And due to that, we have been in a position to achieve loads of expertise, loads of learnings, that we are able to probably apply to our subsequent mission or title. So my trustworthy feeling is that the staff does need to tackle a brand new problem and transfer on to a unique mission – perhaps it is a utterly new recreation, maybe in a very new type of leisure. I really feel like in the end, that is perhaps the most effective route for not simply the gamers, however for us as effectively, too. However once more, to reiterate, the potential of extra DLC content material for Closing Fantasy XVI just isn’t zero.”
Whether or not Closing Fantasy 16 does get extra DLC or not, we’ll have to attend and see, however we definitely should not anticipate a sequel, as Yoshida has mentioned there are not any plans for one. He has shared his ideas on what Closing Fantasy 17 may appear to be, however he additionally thinks another person ought to make it.
