[2024] Do you think TFP will release dlc?

Originally posted by 𝓢𝓓𝓑: Already did release DLC if you count the console version. They had a few skin packs...

That was at the sole discretion of the publisher of the console version Telltale Games without strictly needing TFP's approval for doing so.. The same publisher who called that console version a fully released product as a last ditch effort to wring some money out before they went bankrupt.. Unfortunately, in doing that(calling it 'fully released'), they tied TFP's hands and made it impossible for TFP to bring that console version to to snuff with the PC version, which is why they're making a new console version.

To answer the OP, No, I don't think they'll launch any official TFP DLC before the game officially releases out of Early Access as a 1.0 version.

Technically, they already have, and recently.

There will be post-release content updates that they've wanted to do but can't fit in time-wise before they release. The first round of updates at least will very likely be free updates that continue to fix bugs, and add more content that was planned but pushed back.

Paid DLC for a game like this is tricky because modding can be so comprehensive. Unless it is something significant like an entirely new biome or huge story-based endgame content, modders could probably offer something "close enough" for free.

Because the development of this first game has taken so long, I think they would be better off simply doing needed updates for bugs and some new content and then focus on 7 Days to Die 2 and hopefully push it out faster based on what they learned and the systems they created with this game. If they had finished this game say 5 years ago and then done a DLC a year for the next 3 then put out a sequel the next year that would've been fine. But with it being 10 years....they should get to their next game after they finish this one.
