Mimimi Video games, the individuals behind the superb Desperados 3, the superb Shadow Techniques, and the superb Shadow Gambit, has one final current for us earlier than it closes its doorways eternally. The studio has introduced two upcoming DLC expansions for Shadow Gambit, set for launch on December 6 and “marking the final word chapter from us as Mimimi Video games.”
I would like to inform you exactly what these two DLCs will likely be, however Mimimi is taking part in its playing cards near its chest even with simply two weeks to go till their launch date. There are a couple of particulars to tease out, although. For one, each items of DLC will add “a number of hours of contemporary content material” onto the bottom recreation, and can between them add a brand new character, an uncharted island, and a brand new, six-mission story marketing campaign.
“Put together to welcome a brand new playable character, armed with distinctive supernatural talents and able to be part of the ranks of the cursed crew,” reads the DLCs’ announcement blurb, which boasts too of a “mystical, uncharted island within the Misplaced Caribbean, ready to be explored.” Personally, have been I to find a mystical and uncharted island within the Misplaced Caribbean I would just depart effectively sufficient alone, however I suppose this is the reason I write videogame information as a substitute of plundering the excessive seas.
Mimimi says the brand new add-ons will combine into the primary recreation, which means you can use any new characters to your fundamental marketing campaign hijinks. That is all we all know proper now, however given the very restricted period of time between right now and launch, that’ll in all probability change quickly.
Releasing two sizeable-sounding DLCs on the similar time is a positive strategy to exit with a bang, however this complete state of affairs is bittersweet. Mimimi has launched some sensible video games over time—Dominic Tarason scored their most up-to-date recreation 87% in his Shadow Gambit evaluate—and it will be unhappy to see it go quietly into that good evening, even when it is for the comprehensible cause of “[prioritizing] our well-being.” No less than the launch of Shadow Gambit gave the studio the sources to “pay out a bonus to all workers to assist them throughout their transition.”
