Det finnes mange planer for DLC-innhold til Destiny (den første pakken bærer navnet The Dark Below), og ettersom mange spillere allerede har kommet over låste områder som skal åpnes med en kode, har mange spekulert i om DLC-utviklingen startet før hovedspillet i det hele tatt var ute. Denne slutningen vil imidlertid Harold Ryan fra Bungie ha seg frabedt:
- No, Eris and her story were built over the last three months, long after the game was done. For example for The Dark Below, that included the activities and the bosses and all of the polish of it, kommenterer Ryan til Eurogamer.
Hn fortsetter:
- There's a bunch of shared-world content we've shipped on the disc specifically to limit download sizes for people. Both inside the US and all over the world, how much you download on your local home internet connection can be a problem, and even how much storage space it takes up on your console. So we share a lot of assets across all the activities in the game. When people get into areas that aren't unlocked right now, they're seeing pieces we built and shipped ahead of time, but they're by no means the finished experiences or even the finished content.
Videre bekrefter han at historien i den første utvidelsen vil være strukturer annerledes enn i hovedspillet, og at dette faktisk er et resultat av feedback fra fansen:
- The structure of the story in this expansion is different than the story in the core game. Looking at how the story plays and how we wanted to repackage it and reacting to fan feedback, we're taking a different approach to the story in this one. So it's going to be driven in a very interesting way for players, as you meet with Eris in the Tower and follow her guidance through the story. What you'll see in this expansion, it's going to be a very different approach to telling a new story to players than the thematically-driven story from the original launch of the game. It's going to feel much more loot driven and story driven in that it's going to feel faster-paced with more action as you go through it, and with exposition. The important thing about Eris is, this story is going to be her story, and she's going to send you on a mission that's a lot of fun.
The Dark Below-pakken skal slippes til alle formater den 9. desember.
