Second DLC For SHIFT 2 Announced - Still No News For PC Gamers


EA has put up a new trailer announcing The Speedhunters DLC for SHIFT 2 Unleashed that will be available on XBOXBlive and PSN on May 17th. Still no news on the release of the first DLC, GT Legends, for the PC. EA tweeted that PC gamers should stay tuned for an announcement back in April. After some digging around in the forums, I found that Slightly Mad Studios had patched in PC DLC support in the second patch (it was stated in the patch notes) with an added note that it was a publisher driven release decision. Not exactly sure what that means but I think the ball in in EA’s court. It is up to them to release the DLC for PC whenever they want. And their track record isn’t very encouraging(with similar ordeals with Burnout Paradise and Need for Speed Hot Pursuit DLC’s not released on the PC). This shifty behaviour(no pun intended) from EA is very unbecoming of a large PC game publisher. They should come right out if the DLC’s wont be available for the PC instead of playing the wait for announcements game. Maybe they’re afraid of lost sales because of not having DLC’s for the PC, but EA! Do the right thing!
