Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
When Shin Megami Tensei IV launches in North America, players will be able to access a number of DLC items. Atlus shared details on some of the content coming to the game the next month, such as:
- Three custom looks will be available for the protagonist to alter his look by changing hairstyles. These DLC items will be permanently free for anyone to download.
- In addition to fighting in style, there will be a beneficial armor item free for the first month. The Platinum Surcoat Set offers a little bonus to stats in the early stages of the game, and will help players new to the franchise keep the upper hand. The armor will be available for free for the first month after SMT IV’s launch on July 16. After the first month, the price of the armor set will revert to $1 permanently.
- There will also be a map pack available at launch to help players gain more experience. Suitable for the early stages of the game, the new maps will help players gain extra experience to boost their characters with enemies and a collectible demon exclusive to the DLC. The map pack will be $2 at launch.
Atlus will announce additional DLC items closer to launch.
