You didn't think Counterplay Games would release Godfall as part of the PlayStation 5 launch and then call it a day, did you? Of course not! A more expensive version of the game, titled the Ascended Edition, has revealed it will receive at least one piece of DLC in 2021 that will expand the experience with new content. What's more, the fact that it's labelled "Expansion I" does indeed suggest there will be more to come for the PS5 title.
There's more to this Ascended Edition than just an expansion though as bonus in-game items are all themed around gold. You'll get an exclusive orange vertigo valorplate (whatever that means), three more gold valorplates, a gold royal banner and zodiac knight lobby title, a gold weapon pack and shield, and all of the pre-order bonuses. Yeah, if you like gold, this is the version for you.
Speaking of which, those pre-order bonuses include a starter pack of items, Zero's sword (who's that?), and even more valorplate skins. It might sound like we're dunking on Godfall with all of this content, but at least it looks pretty good in the latest trailer released. It'll be interesting to see whether those who pick up Godfall digitally on PS5 will still get those pre-order bonuses though, since there's no way to pre-order the game before you actually get the system. That is unless we'll be able to pre-purchase it on PlayStation 4.

sniff sniff
you smell that
it smells like an unfinished live service game that will be worth its asking price in 2-3 years. maybe if i buy 15 expansions i'll feel satisfied with my purchaseeeeee
‘This is a whole game, not live-service’
Anyone else hear that a while back?
Ahh, it begins. The scourge of modern gaming is already thriving on next-gen, and it hasn't even come out yet. DLC being announced before we even have the game.
Anyone know when we can pre order this in the UK? Can't find it anywhere!
When have you heard of a AAA that didn't get an expansion? Doesn't mean it's a live service like The Witcher 3
@TheFrenchiestFry Are we going to have the same reaction when Cyberpunk 2077 announces its DLC before launch, something CD Projekt Red has already confirmed will happen? Calm down lads 😂
As for the Zer0's Sword - https://twitter.com/PlayGodfall/status/1304875006208475137
@LiamCroft Difference is Cyberpunk doesn't look like it's going to rely on expansions for the sake of longevity since the game is already massively single player focused and has a proper campaign that doesn't require expansions to make it actually decent unlike a lot of live service games.
@TheFrenchiestFry Who's to say that Godfall relies on expansions and won't feature a fully-fleshed out campaign?
@LiamCroft I'd like to be as hopeful as you, but it's a game by Take-Two following a similar model to Destiny and Anthem, so I'm going in with extremely tempered expectations
Isn't $70 enough? Man this will be expensive generations for sure.
Everyone has after launch content now, even Nintendo. But people still pick a random game to bitch about Expansions or a season pass🤦♂️
It's DLC. In no way does this make this a live service game. Geez, people are touchy.
@TheFrenchiestFry Nothing about this game is a "similar model" to the games you mention.
Any interest I had in this game died just like that. How about releasing the game first and giving us a reason to want more before acting like it's going to be a game everyone must have.
Also, CDPR have a solid reputation they've built up over time by treating gamers with a bit of respect. I think all the dlc for Cyberpunk is free if I'm not mistaken too.
@Old-Red The expansions will be paid for.
@LiamCroft Ah well, that sucks. Both situations are a pile of **** then. CDPR have still built up a certain amount of faith though, so the situation isn't the same really.
Isn't is gearbox, so maybe 'zero' is a reference to borderland 2's sword swinging Zero character? Just a guess!
soon as £70 price tag and expension popped up, instantly went on waiting list for full edition and price drop when ever that will be. load of other stuff to play in the mean time.
Might get this when it's down to a tenner in CEX in 2027
There is no reason ,that this 'expansion ' could not have been added to the base game,especially at that price.
And it is shocking to see how people are cool with this,even defending it,is this how you want to start next gen,with dlc's?
I was really looking forward this game, but this is the end. I.... really hate dlcs. Especially those announced far before release of game.
Imagime how many thousands of hours could be invested into bug fixing or creating new games instead of wasting it on dlcs? There would be no day one patches and hundreds of games to play....
@nessisonett I thought that was Outriders?
when I first saw this game, I though yeah looks interesting. almost a year later, I know as much as I knew from that first teaser... nothing... stuff your stupid DLC and plans.. wouldnt pay 1 for this bs game.. its becoming annoying reading about it
@resigamer28 - 2027? I can see this being a tenner in CEX before this DLC is out!
Godfall looks like it has all the looks but no personality to go with it.
All these trailers doesn't seem to shake my feeling that it looks like a generic game.
Why am I not surprised? I'll be waiting for this to hit bargain bin sales in a few years.
@Old-Red...... The situation is exactly the same... Just be honest and say you are a CDPROJECT RED fanboy.....and even if they release a game that is like Anthem you would not throw a fit........ So stop berating this game while praising CP2077 for the exact same thing..... If the expansion is bad for Godfall then it's also bad for CYBERPUNK2077 irrespective of CDPROJECT RED'S good customer relations don't pick and chose.....
@GREGORIAN Erm... I did say both situations were bad after being corrected. I'm perfectly in my right to dislike modern industry practices just as you're allowed to suck that gunk up.
You are a hypocrite......... If the little interest u had in the game died because of the announcement surely your interest in CP2077 should also have died when they announced expansion for the game....... Unless CP is getting leniency cause you are CDPR fanboy..... It's no shame to be a fanboy....... Just don't be righteous about not supporting bad practices but you look the other way when those bad practisies are done by your favorite dev..... So it's doom and gloom when other dev do it but all roses when CDPR does....... You sound like those gaming journalist who get paid by EA so Fifa gets positive reviews when Pes gets slaughtered for every mistepp taken by the game.... I mean Fifa 20 is a mess of a game yet you wouldn't know unless you buy the game cause it has goods reviews across the board yet you will get the commentary of Pes being hammered and emphasized as a bad point in each review...... Cause everybody wants to remain in EA's good books...... If you truly don't like the practice then surely CDPR have already lost a sale from you... Otherwise you are just a CDPR fanboy hypocrite and should just Zip it and stop giving Godfall undeserved bad press.........
@Old-Red.....

@GREGORIAN I genuinely don't know what to say. If I am a fanboy, I'm a Nintendo fanboy. Of CDPR's games I've only played the Witcher 3 on switch so I really don't have any strong affinity towards them other than I like that they will upgrade Witcher 3 on PS5 for free and I have a general impression that Cyberpunk 2077 will give me good value for the £45 I will spend on it.
As I usually do, I will probably not buy any of the DLC they release until I see a Game of the Year edition for cheap in 2 or 3 years time if I really like the game and want to play more.
As for Godfall, the game looks bang average and I don't think they should be pushing extra content until the game has come out and proven its worth. Again, I don't think CDPR should be pushing DLC before the game is released either. I don't know what you have invested in Godfall, but you're clearly looking forward to it and that's fine. Enjoy it, but don't think you can tell me what to think, feel or say. The comments sections here are for us to express our opinions. Just because mine don't match yours doesn't mean I'm not allowed to express them.
TL:DR Chill out man, it's no biggie
@Old-Red...... Godfall is looking bang average to your eyes and you have a right to agree with your eyes and mind which means you have not been impressed by what's shown so far which is fine and it means you probably not gonna get the game which is also perfectly fine and this is your choice. But then why try to take away other people's choices by giving underseved bad press to the game... There people working on Godfall is their lively hoods and they are putting their hearts and souls into the game, now you want to rob them of their hard earned money by spreading negativity about the game without even playing it or see it running in full resulting in less sales for the game. I bet the Witcher also looked bang everage before in gained its popularity.......... Why you doing is the same reason The last of part 2 sales momentum was derailed because of you tubers leaking the game before release and spreading negative around the game...... We all know that word of mouth is more powerful than any expensive marketing campaign and in gaming in particular word of mouth is how a lot of business is done........e.g GTA 3 is good technically as game and it change gaming by opening up the a gaming that could be freely explored by the player as they like...... The game went viral not much because of reviews.....but more because when the game launch as a gamer you either heard another gaming talking up the game or your friends were taking about it and that how a lot of people tried the game and it exploded...................... Same reason Fifa and COD sell obscene amounts each no matter how bad state they release in........... It's okay to not like a game but please stop spreading negatively on the work of people who lives depend on it......... If you don't like rather keep it your selves...... The only time gamers should vent and rant is when we get released games such as Anthem, WWE 2k20 and No Man's sky(in its initial release state)........ I mean look at days gone... All the press gave it a thumbs down.... Yet the good press of the word of mouth from gamers made a lot of people who were not sure about the game to buy which will probably result us in getting a sequal and also Sony potentially funding Bend to finally revive the Simphton series....... Otherwise if it was not the good pree from gamers Sony might have canned the sequal and got Bend to work on some else errelant or even just close the studio...... If you like gaming please always keep in mind the souls putting their sweat into games this is what allows the industry to thrive when we have different games and experiences........
OH on another note I think world in CP2077 looks great.... The combat is probably gonna be biggest thing about the game...... The story or narrative so far from what has been is absolutely bang avarage And generic.......also they ripped off Quantico dreams Detroid Become Human mechanic on their mind heck game play they should in on of the gamplay showcase and I was not impressed by it cause Quantico Dream did it better on Detroit Become Human.......... But that's my opinion.....
@TheFrenchiestFry how wrong u were. Cyberpunk has bn confirmed to be the biggest mess of a game ever to release, its worse than fallout 76 😂 ps, I was gutted also when I saw it.
@Bobskie77 I haven't bought the game yet but when I do it certainly won't be on consoles for reasons that are pretty blatant with one look at Twitter
I'm saving my money for P5S on Steam now lol
