Speaking in an interview with IndustryGamers, Naughty Dog creative director Amy Hennig confirmed that downloadable content for Uncharted 2 will be available before the new year.
“We’re working on that now, and what we’re prepared to say is that there will be DLC available before the end of the year,” Hennig said about DLC. “Without going into specifics, it’ll involve new maps, new characters, things like that. Some of it will be free of charge and some of it will be purchasable.”
This goes along with what Naughty Dog has previously said about DLC, as they’ll be focusing on the competitive multiplayer when creating new content.
Elsewhere in the interview, Hennig gave some insight into just how pleased Naughty Dog is with Uncharted 2’s sales so far. “I would definitely say it’s exceeding expectations,” she said. “Being in the industry for a while you learn to try to manage your expectations because you’d rather be surprised with good news than disappointed.
“It’s a tough business,” Hennig continued, “but from the early numbers I’ve seen getting reported back it’s exceeded any estimates we had internally, and it’s certainly outsold the first game by many, many times. That and the critical reception so far has been really gratifying.”
