No plans for Tomb Raider single-player DLC
You may have noticed Crystal Dynamics releasing a multiplayer map pack for Tomb Raider and wondered, "Why?" or "Will we get single-player DLC?" or "Why?" Because it's not planning to expand or continue the single-player story with DLC, that's why. Or part of the why, anyway.

"Currently there are no plans regarding single-player DLC," creative director Noah Hughes stated in an 'Ask Me Anything' session on Reddit (via Joystiq).
"Now that Lara is more experienced, we are excited to take her on new adventures that challenge her new strength and confidence. It is important that even as Lara grows as a character, so do the challenges she must face."
Tomb Raider global brand director Karl Stewart later added in response to another question, "There are currently no plans in place for any Single Player expansions. All of our DLC is based around the Multiplayer experience for now."
Of course, Tomb Raider's huge slate of DLC does include a few single-player items, but they're small and unexciting bits like costumes or unlocks rather than the expansion some might hope for.
It's kind of a shame, as our single-player review found it quite fun. Onto the inevitable sequel!

I know right? The one time fans seem to want more DLC and it isn't coming.

It's a semantic issue really. I mean, Dragonborn feels as much like an expansion as old school expansions did, but maybe not quite as long and slightly cheaper.
-
Sure, DA: O - Awakening (debately, DA:2)
Fallout 3: Point Lookout
Skyrim: Dragonborn
Those are the ones I can think off the top of my head. I'm sure there are more 'no fooling' expansions around. This is all ignoring the mod scene, of course, which has made some -fantastic- ones.-
-
You'd be incorrect, Point Lookout was massive.

People do genuinely want more content for the games they really like, that hasn't changed. I'm sure anyone who has played DXHR would tell you they want more of it. People who like Borderlands 2 wanted more of that (though what they got may not have been the best apparently). Skyrim was a huge game with a ton of content but people loved it so much they still wanted more.
People generally dislike when DLC comes alongside the game release as an added purchase and feels necessary to the experience. And they don't really care about added content at all if the main game is middling to begin with.
-
To be honest I am sort of relieved. This means that the game is complete as is and they made exactly what they intended to make holding back nothing in favor for an extra buck.
I hope that trend continues for its sequels.-
Now don't mix that up with "I hope that they never have single player DLC"
I just mean that they developed the game with zero intention of holding anything back. The fact that they have nothing planned now means that they didn't develop something with DLC as a priority. Anything that they make from here on out for the single player is something that is fresh and developed armed with understanding what the fans want and liked about the product. -
lol yes, i'm sure there aren't hours of cut content sitting on a server
-
-
or, ignore it when it goes on sale

I said it once and I'll say it again. Tacked on MP=Season Pass and future DLC to be MP only.
You loved Mass Effect MP, well all they released was stupid maps and such. All the SP DLC made for those came out of shame for (supposedly) messing up the ending and not making "gamers" hate them to much, especially since more Mass Effect is coming down the pike.
Keep playing those tacked on MP "experiences" -
-
-
I wonder how much they spent developing the MP. What a waste.
-
-
-
Blah, another case of not every game needs a multiplayer.
-
-
I think this is more a case of "Hey, this game was awesome, we want more!", whereas the usual feeling, especially with SP DLC coming out at launch or within weeks is "Why wasn't this in the game?"
It might be unreasonable, but I think that's pretty much the gist of it. -
First I 100% agree --> Bring on Tomb Raider 2!
I think we are pissed since if your gonna make more content you cares about MP put your effort into the SP which most preferred. Well this is my take.
Bottom line they should put their effort into 2 and move on if no SP content that is worth while, this is what I would prefer.

This makes me sad.
Also, why is there brigade of complainers complaining about complainers wanking about wanting DLC? Would it be better if it was referred to as an expansion pack? PEOPLE JUST WANT MORE. :(
The DLC related bitching usually stems from day one DLC bullshit. (well, from my recollection, anyway)-

Am I the only one who is relieved knowing that the game I paid full price for (which I rarely do) was the complete single player experience?
-
Not really sure where they would fit any SP DLC into that games narrative anyhow, unless they did a totally separate side story type deal like Minerva's Den.
-
Personally I think this is a stupid decision. The SP is where this game shines, and where its existing fans will predominantly gather. The MP isn't creative enough to get my interest, let alone pull me away from my currents favs. The SP on the other hand, I would buy loads of expansions for, so long as they maintain the same level of quality.
-
They should at least make some more tombs to explore...
-
The Multiplayer is ok... but the 'Adventure' is in the Single Player.
