Hardcore Gamer: The future of DLC for PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale is in jeopardy. Abe (from Oddworld) was planned to be made available for the spring, but plans for that have been scrapped.
While Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale didn't get the best review, there are still some aspects of the game that deserve some credit.
Though PlayStation All Stars Battle Royale is a bit of a cult classic, it could have been a big hit if it launched in 2022 instead of 2012.
It wouldn't have mattered, Sony would've rushed it out and left it to die. More so now than before with their focus now being on SP narrative driven AAA games.
Oh, but somehow Smash Bros. 64 made it work?
It just couldn’t compete with Smash Bros. and it wasn’t a free-to-play game like Multiversus.
I think it released at the right time. It's just after the success of Smash and Multiversus, it's finally time for a sequel.
I'd be all in on a remake or remaster of the original. I enjoyed it because I didn't sit there and compare every aspect to SSB. I just enjoyed it as it was.
Sony should make part 2 and dump a good amount of money on it. Scrap super only kills and it's bound to succeed.
God of War: Ragnarok has plenty of fun references to PlayStation history, but now fans have discovered a conversation that calls back to PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale — the crossover fighting game released for the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita.
That’s interesting. It actually does make it canon lol. He mentioned it in a mainline game. I’d say that’s pretty cool.
Oh not cool man not cool
So for all the people defending the decision to add poor third party characters and even poor first party ones since a ton were still left unused where you said "They'll be added by DLC".....yeah I don't think that's going to happen
This game could of been so much more but they rushed it and give it to a new Studio with no games under their belt, I mean so much pressure was on them.
They should of waited longer to make this game, got the characters WE wanted and not for promotional reasons for the selected characters new games released/coming up and then give it to a good studio who has proven themselves over the years
Already has been updated they are still looking for opportunities for dlc. Abe has been canceled though sadly.

We shall see whats in the future atleast we still get Kat. If they are gonna do another PSASBR they better get a studio with a pedigree. 3 years and everything besides the gameplay was in alpha stage.
These guys were obviously not ready to do a retail title and Sony should have seen that 1 year into development of the title.
not surprised
ps4 is coming, thats why.
Lool
