POKEMON SNAP 2 FOR FREE
Was the free update a test, to see how many people would play for free before internally committing to larger paid expansions? Or were there just three maps not quite ready for launch that were eventually booted out the door a few months later before the project officially closed? I’m struggling to understand the point of it all. One single free update doesn’t make a game a live-service game, but it feels very odd that a game no one was really expecting to ever deliver more content (as much as we hoped it would) suddenly dropped a surprise update then went silent again.

In early autumn last year, three new free maps were added, bringing with them a host of new Pokemon - including some oversights that felt as if they had been held back, like Gyarados. It doesn’t seem built for expansion, but there is the notable fact that it got one. The more likely outcome might be a whole new game - a prospect I wouldn’t complain about, but would slightly lament the long wait for another meaningless story and whole new infrastructure when a few new maps with different Pokemon is all it takes. Pokemon games haven’t typically dabbled in DLC until recently, New Pokemon Snap has all the trappings of a standalone game, and we were never promised it would be live-service. In some ways, you’d think that would be a straightforward question with an easy answer.
