After the successful introduction of DLC to Gran Turismo 5, publisher Sony and developer Polyphony Digital are planning an even greater range of expanded content for their upcoming sixth entry in the vaunted race sim series.
“I think we cut our teeth on DLC with GT5, and had some reasonably good success. We definitely have a desire to take that to a whole different level,” said Sony Computer Entertainment Europe's Jim Ryan. “Monetisation is obviously a very important part of that, just in terms of business, but equally important is providing an ability to have sustained, ongoing engagement with the consumer over months and months, so they feel wrapped up in this whole GT world.”
While Ryan wouldn’t be drawn on the specifics of Gran Turismo 6’s DLC plans beyond new tracks and cars, he did indicate information will be coming soon. “There’s stuff I just can’t talk about because it’s not announced yet,” he said. “[Polyphony Digital boss Kazunori Yamauchi] was very clear that there’s stuff in the pipeline that can’t be spoken about today because he needs something to get on stage and say at E3 and Gamescom. We – and I’ve got to be careful what I say here – but we definitely have ambitions.”
With E3 less than a month away, expect big news on Gran Turismo 6’s digital offerings soon.
