Koei has been dipping its toes in the downloadable content waters for a while now, which is unsurprising since the publisher loves to get as much mileage as possible out of every game it releases.Samurai Warriors: Xtreme Legendswas the firstWarriorsexpansion to be released on the Xbox 360 as a purely digital download, and it seems that Koei is continuing its commitment to DLC withDynasty Warriors 6: EmpiresandDynasty Warriors: Strikeforce.
Koei Warriorshas heard thatDW6: Empireswill be getting DLC in the form of extra costumes and even background music. That’s somewhat lame, but every time Koei dabbles in DLC, it reignites hope that it may finally realize the Internet canalsobe used for online play (at least outside of frigging Japan), so I’ll let it slide.
Less rubbish is the fact that the rather goodDynasty Warriors: Strikeforcewill be getting downloadable missions. This was already confirmed for the Japanese PSN, but it has since been revealed byKoei Europethat we’ll be getting DLC in the West as well. I quite likeStrikeforcedespite its faults, so this is a welcome addition, not least because my little factsheet says that the missions will be FREE. I doubt we’ll be getting theFamitsuSword like the Japanese DLC, however. I shall have to demand that Koei makes an exclusive Destructoid Spear for us Westerners.
Stay tuned to Destructoid tomorrow, where we’ll be having our full review ofStrikeforce.
