God Of War III Director Talks DLC News

While challenge rooms have featured in the boxed retail versions of previous God of War games, where they've provided extra content aside from the main campaign, the first new title in the series to land on Sony's PS3 platform may dish out additional challenge content for the game via DLC.

This is according to God of War III's Director, Stig Asmussen, who was asked how the Sony Santa Monica studio is looking to serve up challenge room content in the upcoming sequel and whether the setup will be changed at all...

"It would make a lot of sense to be able to download them," said Asmussen. "That's something we might see in the future. 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."

"Now that you have creatures you can ride," Asmussen continued, "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."

However, Asmussen admitted that, "we haven't even started on the challenges yet," although he was optimistic about what the studio could come up with in the remaining dev time: "There are some ideas in people's heads and other ideas on paper. It'll be interesting to see what we come up with in the next two months."

Is this kind of DLC imaginative enough for arguably the most highly anticipated PS3 game on Sony's books? Personally, we'd like to see additional campaign content dooled out in a kind of episodic form like GTA IV, although there's always the chance that Sony Santa Monica is planning this as well as the challenge rooms but just hasn't announced it yet. Let us know your thoughts in the comments, Sony fans...
