Forums - Gaming - Watchdogs ps4 dlc may only be six month exclusive

http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/10/24/watch-dogs-ps4-dlc-may-come-to-xbox-one

Ubisoft has revealed that the PlayStation-exclusive DLC for Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag and Watch Dogs may be available on other platforms after six months.

The information comes courtesy of yesterday's new PlayStation 4 trailer. At around the 1.15 mark, small print first spotted by Shack News explains that the content will only be exclusive to Sony platforms for six months.

While we knew previously that the DLC was only a timed-exclusive, this is the first time we've been given an exact timeframe to work with. What's especially interesting though is the fact that there's no such small print in the European version of the trailer.

In terms of what the exclusive DLC contains, anyone playing Black Flag on Sony platforms will be given access to three missions starring an older Aveline de Grandpré from last year's Vita title Assassin's Creed: Liberation. Watch Dogs, meanwhile, will come with four bonus missions that unlock an extra outfit for protagonist Aiden Pearce.

The implication of this is that the DLC will be available on Xbox One and other platforms once the timed deal expires; we've reached out to Ubisoft for clarification exactly what platforms should expect to see it, as well as what the lack of small print on the European trailer means. As soon as we hear back, we'll update the story.

all this exclusive deal stuff is so laughable. i wonder how long the titanfall deal or how long some of the many deals for indie games on ps4 will last. warframe is 3 months if i understood it correct. wonder how it will be for something like transistor and titanfall maybe 6 months so that it will release in time on ps4 fo the holiday season lol.

Just like Titanfall's ½ years exclusivity. ;) Easy now.. Just teasing.



It's nice to see Sony trying to get exclusive content, but I don't think that this is the way to do it. 60 minutes of extra gameplay and a bonus outfit...is this what is supposed to entice gamers to pick the PS4 version over the X1?

More exclusive deals like what MS got with Titanfall, less extra outfits, please Sony.



Timed dlc?
What a waste of money sony

Sounds like what they did with the AC II, in which case, it's a cost effective move for Sony.
