DLC is the newest buzzword in console games, and EA has been on top of its game when it comes to these microtransactions for retail games. EA recently announced new DLC for their recently-released Fight Night 4, and it’s notable for one golden reason.
The pack headlines Oscar de la Hoya as one of five new fighters gamers can download for use in their game. Boxing’s self-proclaimed Golden Boy leads other notables Vitali Klitschko, Wladimir Klitschko and alternate versions of James Toney and George Foreman in the $10 DLC.
De la Hoya is widely regarded as one of the top fighters of recent boxing, so the strategy of holding back one of the most marketable stars in the sport for this DLC release. Is this a risky strategy, asking users to pay extra for one of the big names in the sport, or is this a smart move by EA to make this particular DLC a must-have for many boxing fans?
