Eventually the characters will become available to all for the price of absolutely nothing. Designer Katsuhiro Harada had to remind fans it costs nothing after a barrage of angry tweets.
The new gameplay trailer stars Michelle, Ancient Ogre, Angel and Kunimitsu. The free DLC will be releasing this September for those who pre-ordered; later for others.
Tekken designer Katsuhiro Harada confirmed earlier that they will not be having paid-for DLC that’s locked onto the retail disc. ”Tekken’s never really done that before and charged for it, however we did have an unlock system in Tekken one to five,” he said. ”The character locks were like that - we never took money for it but the concept itself was there. I think really the players’ opinions and the heated discussion is whether you charge for it or not.”
Fans got angry when they heard ‘new characters’ and ‘downloadable content’ thinking it was going to carry a premium price and already hiding on the disc. ”Just because it’s DLC doesn’t mean it’s paid DLC. U GUYS ALWAYS JUMPING THE GUN THANK U SO MUCH,” twittered Harada-san.
Tekken Tag Tournament 2 releases on Xbox 360 and PS3 in September.
