Mewgenics, the cat breeding roguelike tactics game from Edmund McMillen and Tyler Glaiel, is getting DLC at some point in the future, its creator has confirmed, but it won’t be free due to the effort involved in developing it.
The title had a successful launch week, recouping its development costs in just a few hours and reaching a concurrent user peak of over 115,000 on Steam.
Mewgenics DLC Won’t Be Free
When asked whether or not Mewgenics’ upcoming DLC will be free, under a tweet providing a few brief updates on the roguelike tactics game, McMillen replied with the following straightforward answer: “No, it’s going to take a lot of work/people.”
As for when we can expect the upcoming Mewgenics DLC to drop, its creator discussed the matter in a Reddit AMA that went live a few days before the game’s release.
“I assume we will start on DLC in a few months after seeing what people like and want to see more of,” McMillen wrote. “We have a rough idea of something small, like a few more classes and more areas, etc., but don’t wanna start on it till we fully understand what people really like about the game.
“I assume it will take a year from when we start to release a dlc.. maybe?”
Although Mewgenics’ upcoming DLC won’t be free and will take a while before it launches, the title stays true to the developer’s previous output, having plenty of content to keep us busy in the meantime.
An update is scheduled to include a series of bug fixes “soonish,” while McMillen has reiterated that the game is coming to consoles, promising to provide details at a later date.
