Arkane Studios is known for releasing memorable DLCs and standalone expansions for its games. Case in point, Dishonored, which came out in 2012, enjoyed two well-received post-launch story content: The Knife of Dunwall and The Brigmore Witches. The game’s sequel launched in 2016 and got a standalone expansion one year later, Dishonored: Death of the Outsider. If we believe the recent sightings, Deathloop, the studio’s latest game, might be leaning more towards the latter as far as its post-launch content plans go.
In a recent YouTube interview, Jason Kelley, the voice actor of the game’s protagonist, Colt, let it slip that he and Ozioma Akagha, the voice actress of Julianna, the game’s antagonist, are still under contract with Arkane Studios.
When asked about codenames, Jason had this to say:
Yes, I can’t say em cause they’re still sometimes hiring us under the codenames.
The tone in the room changes and they try to move on to a different topic. In spite of their best efforts, hawk-eared fans had already heard enough. Now, the cat’s out of the bag and fans are speculating about a potential expansion or DLC for Deathloop.
For what it’s worth, this isn’t the first time we’ve heard talks of a follow-up to Deathloop.
Earlier this year, Kelley teased another project with Arkane Studios. Some took this as a sign of the game’s recently released Xbox Series S/X port, which came with new content, but it’s become clear that Arkane Studios isn’t done with Deathloop yet.
Who knows? We might hear more about Deathloop at the long-rumored Xbox event that’s scheduled early next year that will reportedly feature Tango Gameworks’ next game.
Arkane Studios is currently working on Redfall, which was delayed to next year along with Starfield. According to the latest rumors, the studio is currently thinking about pushing the game’s release date back by a few weeks, presumably for added polishing.
