Naughty Dog’s Justin Richmond would rather not work on any single player downloadable content for Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception. Instead, he’d prefer to use those man-hours to develop Uncharted 4.
”We’d rather build out another game than we would do episodic content,” said Richmond. ”We’d much rather be working on the next game, producing the game quickly and having people play another adventure.”
This has held true for the entire series. The first Uncharted had no DLC of any sort, and while Uncharted 2 had a bevy of DLC released for it, all of it was content for the game’s multiplayer.
”We’re so small that we can’t afford to have a whole team working on DLC,” Richmond added. ”Whenever we sit down and think we should do some single-player DLC, someone pitches something and we realize - that’s a five hour level.”
Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception is due to be released on 1st November, 2011.
