Free Conviction DLC every week

MCV Staff 15th April 2010 Business News

Ubisoft has stated that recent release Splinter Cell: Conviction will receive new DLC on a weekly basis – and best of all, it’s going to be free.

CVG reports that the first download will be the MP7A1 Machine Pistol, which will be available on day one come the game’s European release tomorrow, with new DLC arriving every Thursday.

Future DLC will include new weapons, skins and multiplayer maps.

The obvious question to ask is whether the DLC is content that has been produced post-release or whether in fact gamers are simply being granted staggered access to content already on the disc.

The latter approach has recently got 2K Games into hot water after it was discovered that premium DLC for BioShock 2 was already on the disc. That news was all the harder for gamers to swallow considering 2K was charging for the DLC.

MCV has contacted Ubisoft for clarification.

[Industry news] Core Keeper’s ancient Core becomes a one of a kind gaming PC, to be won for charity

More than 4 million people have played Core Keeper, and every one of them started the same way, waking in a dark cavern beside an ancient Core that has lain dormant for aeons. Pugstorm and Fireshine Games, the game's developer and publisher, have now worked with Scan to build that Core into a real gaming PC. It is one of a kind, and it is the prize in the Global Games Draw, a new prize draw for Into Games, a UK charity that helps young people from working class backgrounds into careers in games. Every entry raises money for that work.
