Here’s how the publishers are going to change gaming. Firstly, the game will be released digitally first later this year, and then through retail stores in 2016. Second, No season pass. That’s right, no. Season. Pass. You read that right. Third. No DLCs. Again, that’s No DLCs. Square Enix and Io-Interactive believe that forcing people to pay for more content that should be int eh game anyway is a terrible business practice. Their words were ‘wrong approach’. and as a gamer, that sound exactly right. Everything will be included in the $60 price tag. Finally, someone gets it.


Instead of releasing paid DLCs or having micro-transactions, Square has promised that all of that will come, and be free with game updates. New content, new missions, and new locations will be offered in regular updates. These are huge changes, both in terms of the business practices of game companies and the delivery of their content. Square Enix has put itself ahead of the curve in that regard. Now its only a matter of waiting until December and beyond to see just want sort of impact those moves have made. Will the assassin community really come together as planned? How will the new content delivery work? Just how much will all those choices matter? Is this the first game in a trend moving away from DLCs? only time will tell. Check out the reveal trailer below.

That's from Forbes, that pretty much says I'm not the only one that has the theory they're using a split game as a means to release free DLC, I have no problem with that either.
