We will have new story content in every DLC

According to a post on the forum from dahanese

"We will have new story content in every DLC - details will be coming later, but you can count on that."

This has sparked debate on the forums, in my opinion their definition of story and ours differ.

When we look at the story content that came with DLC 1, which included a few data recorders tied to missions with a few cutscenes introducing arenas.

Trick has said that the story in DLC 2 will be a short introduction mission that will serve as a tutorial for calling down arkfalls.

What I personally am looking for is an addition to the main story that I have already invested in, perhaps that will come in Season 2.

What do you think we will see for the story?

Trick Dempsey wrote a post explaining the outline for the story in the upcoming DLCs.

So, here's the quick reply, it's been a busy day.

The storyline missions in DLC 2 revolve around granting the ark hunters the capability to call down arkfalls from the arkbelt which will allow them to descend into the arkfall interiors. It's punchy, answers a few questions about what Dark Matter is up to now that Nim is gone, and largely happens in the open world. It was much more fun to see hunters pursued by Dark Matter ambushes in populated areas rather than private instances or phases.

It was emergent fun. I like that.

So the DLC 2 storyline has more mechanical punch than drama or lore. It's a chase for power, and the ark hunters are going to win. Then they get to use that power to explore new content.

The DLC 3 storylines are much more lore focused. We're creating a new kind of content, of course, but we're also crafting some storyline experiences around it. There will be more tie-ins with the show coming with that update, and those will be released as appropriate. We don't gate crossover content to DLC purchases. Yes, that would make us money, but it would not be kind to the fans. 

We're going to follow up on Von Bach in due time. He's not forgotten, not by any means, and we're going to do his return justice. He's been drawn into events beyond his control, and that's a new experience for him.

Once the second DLC is out the door, I'm going to be excitedly talking about the upcoming stories, but that's all I can speak about on the subject for now.

To sum up:

1. The bay area story will continue

2. We are doing more crossovers with the show

3. DLC 2 contains a storyline which unlocks new content
