Speaking to GamePro, God of War III producer Stig Asmussen has revealed that it would make sense for gamers to be offered downloadable content in the form of new challenges.
“It would make a lot of sense to be able to download them [challenges]. That’s something we might see in the future,” said Asmussen. “So, maybe you’ll see the game ship with a certain amount of challenges on it, then later on, we might put a download pack out with new challenges. It’s a good way to keep the series going.”
The content is certainly there to build from explained Asmussen: “We have different enemy types to work with, and the enemies do a lot of different things. Challenges are usually based off mechanics that are built in the game, so all the new mechanics will allow us to do different challenges.
“For example, now that you have creatures you can ride, maybe we’ll put in a challenge where in a certain amount of time you have to get on a Cyclops and kill a certain number of enemies in a certain amount of time. Or, maybe you have to use the Cyclops to get through a certain type of hazard or area or something like that.”
It’s all just ideas right now though, with Asmussen revealing the challenges are always left until near the end of development and the team hasn’t even started on them yet.
“It’ll be interesting to see what we come up with in the next two months,” he concluded.
God of War III is scheduled for release only on PS3 in March 2010.
