Ferrari Challenge DLC "in the next month"

By Tom Bramwell Published 9 July, 2008

With multiplayer patch due sooner.

System 3 has told Eurogamer that downloadable content for Ferrari Challenge on PS3 will be released "in the next month".

The publisher is also planning to issue a patch for the game to fix problems with the online modes, which aren't working properly for some people. We were told to expect something "in the next couple of weeks" as any update has to work its way through Sony's certification process.

Speaking on AVForums, a member of the development team going by 'Alanok' said: "We are aware of the problem and its being fixed right now.

"It's not going to be an overnight thing and it will need to be tested again so we don't get the same situation, it will then be sent to Sony for approval. Please bear with us it is being looked into."

On the subject of downloadables, he added: "As for DLC the first pack will shortly be released, I think its one track and five new cars some of which are beauties."

System 3 aims to release downloadable content monthly until Ferrari Challenge is home to every single Ferrari ever made.

We should have more detailed information on the downloadable stuff in the near future, and from what we've heard through the oily grapevine the first track will be an old favourite of racing game fans.

    DLC this close to release = Held back deliberately for $$$ = Bad


    By all means continue to develop new things and charge for them but this smacks of holding stuff back on purpose.

  • ShakaCarnage #3 4 years ago

    Well, I'd imagine the DLC is to support new features maybe?

    I thought the plan was to make the DLC *free*? I can't remember where I read that though.

  • ToAks #6 4 years ago

    Yes, it would be much better if they delayed the game until xmas so that we could have all the DLC included ... JESUS guys, you have to whine about everything `... DLC is optional and last time i checked it wasnt supposed to cost money either. That said, its a shame that this game has been pulled back in scandinavia , as supposed to have been out 4th of july... it won't be out until next friday 18th of july....

    I got mine from a Danish online store (coolshop.dk) Monday (and I can see they still have it in stock). It does look like the actual offical release date is still around a week away though - ebgames.dk has it listed for the 16th.

    Good news, I want the Enzo, hopefully Ferrari F1 cars will be added sometime too.
