Capcom Revealed Deep Down Microtransaction

New details regarding the upcoming PlayStation 4 exclusive free-to-play game Deep Down have been revealed by Capcom.

Deputy head of consumer games Yoshinori Ono on the Capcom website explained the approach the game will take when regarding microtransactions and player engagement.

"When we develop an online game, we aim to create a game that allows people already playing it to continue enjoying it. At the same time, we try to avoid boosting the number of players just for the sake of getting new people to play," Ono said.

"The game Deep Down is provided free of charge, but players are required to pay for additional items and other game content," he added. "To ensure people playing the game don't lose interest, we will keep working to deliver stable long-term services."

Ono also said that Capcom is looking to offer a "large variety of content at reasonable prices" for Deep Down, but failed to provide any specifications.

"The best thing to do is monitor trends in the days immediately following a game's release, and then put out DLC which reflects these trends within a month," he said.

Deep Down is set in 2094 New York and runs on Capcom's new Panta Rhei engine.
