Unicorn Overlord: From PS4/PS Vita to Switch – No Plans for DLC

Vanillaware’s latest title, Unicorn Overlord, has taken the gaming world by storm since its release a few weeks ago. The game has already sold over 500,000 copies, marking a significant success for the developers. However, what many fans may not know is that Unicorn Overlord was originally intended for release on the PS4 and PS Vita, before plans changed to accommodate a worldwide launch across multiple platforms.

In a recent interview with GamersBraves, developers from Atlus and Vanillaware revealed that Unicorn Overlord began development back in 2016 with the intention of being a PlayStation exclusive title. However, as the gaming industry evolved over the years, the decision was made to expand the game’s development to include the PS5, Switch, and Xbox X/S for a simultaneous worldwide release.

Despite the game’s success and positive reception from players, there are currently no plans to release any DLC content for Unicorn Overlord. The developers wanted to focus on delivering a complete and polished experience to players without the need for additional downloadable content.

The interview also delved into the initial pitch for the game, its inspirations, and how the developers worked to break genre conventions with Unicorn Overlord. They also discussed the steps taken to ensure that the game’s opening hours were accessible to all players, without an overly steep learning curve.

Unicorn Overlord is now available on the Nintendo Switch, and players can read the full interview with the developers on GamersBraves’ website. For more information on the game and its development, players can check out the review on nintendoeverything.com.
