Namco considering platform-specific DLC for Tekken 6

Namco has revealed it may incorporate platform-specific content in the upcoming home console port of Tekken 6.

Game Director Katsuhiro Harada said in an interview in London this week that the company is flirting with the ideal of downloadable content, despite the fact development has yet to make the transition from the Arcade format.

“We’re still working on the Arcade version, so there are no concrete plans [for the console versions] at the moment," he said.

Though keen on the idea of exclusive content for each format, Harada conceded that it would likely prove difficult to secure.

"Of course we would like to have something – as far as downloadable content goes – specific to platform. However on the other hand it is quite difficult to get Microsoft and Sony to sign off on having differences between the platforms,” he explained.

"It is something we’re considering, but it is pretty difficult."

Tekken 6 is scheduled for release on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in Fall 2009.
