Yes, DLC! In the end, we have released additional content for some of the games, which you can see below.

Return
“Returnal has caught my attention since it was announced last June.

“If there’s one thing ArcSystem Works can do, it’s beautiful fighting games.

Kena: Bridge of Spirits
“It makes sense that Ember Lab, the developer of Kena: Bridge of Spirits, started out as an animation studio. Just looking at this wonderful world and the Pixar-style character designs, you realize that this is a team full of experience creating stunning digital artwork, including Terrible Fate, the fan movie Zelda: Majora’s Mask. While Bridge of Spirits’ gameplay falls short of the exceptionally high quality of its visuals for a number of reasons (including some related to storytelling and superficial progression), this 3D open-world adventure is still an impressive achievement thanks to its engaging combat and seemingly simple and simple great balance between action, puzzle solving and platforming. “

Unfortunately, the mission designs are familiar to everyone we’ve played in the base game, but it’s worth taking any opportunity to visit this stunning world created by Sucker Punch again. “
