Dragon's Crown DLC Debuts With $0 Price Tag

Atlus announced the first DLC addition for Dragon's Crown this morning, alongside word that it will be a free download for a limited time.

Dragon's Crown, an upcoming stylized beat 'em up from Vanillaware and publisher Atlus, won't hit store shelves until August 6, yet we're already hearing word of the game's first downloadable addition. Appropriately dubbed the Voice Pack, the $2 DLC is said to "offer players the ability to customize their story with different narrator voices from each of the six playable characters in the game: Amazon, Dwarf, Elf, Fighter, Sorceress, and Wizard." These voices replace the game's default narrator with your chosen character, adding a bit of customization to the game's plot for those who find themselves particularly attached to any one of the game's six ambulatory fantasy tropes.

Oh, but that's not the best part. According to Atlus, the Voice Pack DLC will debut alongside Dragon's Crown on August 6 and for the first month of the game's existence players will be able to download the Pack for the very attractive price of absolutely free. After that month the Voice Pack will revert to its standard $2 price point, so I'd advise you to get the thing while the gettin's good.

Day One DLC that is free for early adopters sounds like a compromise that potentially makes both sides happy.

The Sorceress narrating while I stare at that lovely body of hers while I play?

For free?

Yes please.

This is the kind of DLC I don't really mind. It's just some minor customisation, y'know? It's cool that they're doing it free initially, but since it's obviously it's done pre-release it'd be even better if it just came with the voice packs, but whatever the fuck, right? It's just voices.
If it was a level or character or something that wouldn't be free ever it'd be justifiable to say "fuck this game."

eh, i'll probably just wait for a price cut if i were buying this, cause 2 bucks isn't gonna kill anybody

nice gesture though

"Day one DLC" that is free for the first month? That doesn't require a pre-order? That does not effect the difficulty of the game? Wow, sounds pretty good to me.

This is the way a company should conduct itself when it comes to encouraging pre-orders or first week/month sales. Time limited offers, buy now and get a free !

It's like game developers have remembered what Marketing 101 taught them.

Atlus being cool?

This is pretty normal.

 

[Lunar Templar]

unless its coming to steam, gonna have to pass on DC anyway, but I approve of this 'limited time free' offer, wish there where more such instances of this.

I'l just wait for the "NOT selling myself off as a cheap whore like my original outfit" costume pack for the women, then i'l think about buying it.

I think it's kind of funny that they made such a big deal about the sexist art of the sorceress and then they use it as the image for the news article.
Well done, Escapist, as always.

This..


Seriously though, Atlus could be trolling everyone and have her with a deep gravelly 40 a day voice.

She actually has a really quiet voice, there's just a massive echo from her giant breasts.

The Elf is very reasonably dressed. I think you mean "woman".

I ended up preordering the game just because of how much the backlash against it annoyed me.

Adult thing to do? Probably not, but I end up feeling better and I suppose that's what is important .

Do think that I am starting to become indifferent to DLC. Of course it's not going to go away so I have to accept it. Know even the booby lady is indifferent as well.

Yes, thank you for correcting me, The elf is very good, sorry for my mistake.
