Titanfall will be getting a mix of paid and free DLC, along with a Season Pass, according to Respawn founder Vince Zampella.
Speaking to
GameSpot, Zampella disputed
claims from earlier this month that the game wouldn't utilise a Season Pass model, and also explained some additional content will be released for free.
"We plan to do DLC to support the game. We’re going to do paid DLC. We’re also going to do free updates," he said. "We’re going to add in – there’s things that we want in the game that we didn’t get to ship in the final game, so we’ll add private matches and things like that for free. We’re going to do a season pass just because if you buy it up front, you get a deal. We’re not doing micro-transactions. So, you know, a season pass is just, buy it up front and get a better price.”
We also heard last month that there
wouldn't be an Online Pass for Titanfall, which isn't hugely surprising seeing as
EA has said it's abandoned the practice. The upcoming shooter
also won't feature microtransactions.
In case you missed it a couple of weeks ago, it was revealed that
Titanfall matches would be capped at six human players per team. When this elicited fan backlash, the developer explained that mechs and AI bots will mean
there'll be 48 combatants in every match.
Titanfall will hit Xbox One and PC on March 11, 2014 in North America and March 13, 2014 in Europe and Australia, replete with a
pretty impressive Collector's Edition and an
even cooler limited edition Xbox One controller, though it
won't come with mod support at launch. The Xbox 360 version is set to arrive on March 25 in North America and March 28 in PAL territories.
