Teenaged Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge has only just launched, but many fans are already wondering about potential DLC plans for the long-awaited title.

Initially, it seemed as if the game would not be getting any DLC like alternate costumes, based on comments from Tribute Games Narrative Designer Yannick Belzil in an interview with IGN. In that interview, Belzil explained that such a feature would be challenging to implement due to the detailed nature of the game’s sprites:

“For alternate costumes, it really was not thought of during production because we’re very proud of our animations, and the animations are really detailed, and they’re filled with character. They’re really animated with minute details, which means that making them takes a long time.”

“I always thought that it’d be cool if the Turtles could be in trench coats and hats the way they were incognito in the old cartoons, But again, that would take a whole lot of time, and especially with our animators – like, they’d want the trench coat to be flowing, and you’d want it to be dynamic.”

Following IGN’s publication, Dotemu CEO and Executive Producer Cyrille Imbert clarified on Twitter that while these comments confirmed that the game would have no alternate costumes at launch, they were not meant to rule out the possibility of DLC. According to Imbert, although there are currently no DLC plans for the game, this could change depending on its reception and feedback:

Some clarification here: There won’t be alternative costumes at launch and we don’t have DLC plans so far, but we never said “never”😉 It will depend on many factors like the game's reception and the ideas/feedback that the awesome community will send us. https://t.co/l51aqNmYKI
