Developer Klei Entertainment has announced that a new DLC expansion for Mark of the Ninja is in the pipeline, and is currently slated to release this summer on Xbox Live and Steam.
The Special Edition DLC includes a brand new level which acts as a prologue leading up to the events of the main game. In addition to that, the DLC also gives players the ability to perform a nonlethal takedown which should provide several new ways to tackle a mission. Other additions include new items and developer commentary for existing levels. Here’s the scoop:
- A new style of play, which includes a nonlethal takedown ability, and provides a hybrid of lethal and nonlethal approaches to the game.
- Two new items, one more geared to stealth and concealment and one a bit more direct. Both the items and the new play style will be available in the main game as well as the new level.
- Finally, we’ve added a ton of developer commentary to the main game. All the original levels will feature a number of commentary nodes that discuss various aspects of the game’s creation, anecdotes, at least two history lessons and other behind the scenes info from nearly everyone on the team.
- Developer commentary has been fully localized for English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, and Japanese.
