I would just like to say: I told you so.
Not anyone here necessarily, but I've seen on this forum quite a few times people implying that the new content would be dispersed through an Ultimate Edition rather than as downloadable content. I kept saying that didn't make sense, considering the digital attach ratio of consoles and PC compared to the 3DS, as well as the amount of storage. But nope, people just kept talking about how they'd have to rebuy the game as an Ultimate Edition.
That being said, I expect there to be an "Ultimate Edition" that acts like an average re-release edition. It will probably come sometime in Q4 2019, if not then Q1 2020. You just won't have to pay another $60 for the expansions this time. It will mostly be an option for those who are new to the game and want all the content.

Yeah, the game had some decent updates in the first few months, but after that it seemed like updates have mostly stopped.

Sales have stagnated for the game and it's currently at 10M as of late august, I dont think this expansion will push the game another 10M. Still, a massive success, best selling Capcom game ever I believe. |
I'm honestly a little bit worried about how this franchise's popularity is going to be going forward in the West. And this is coming from someone who never expected World to flop and always thought it would be at least successful (unlike a ton of the fanbase). I still expect the 2nd game to do very well, but I must admit I'm a bit worried about attachment rate sequel to sequel. Even I as a fan got tired of the game in like two months.
