"Our first DLC is coming up and we will be revealing that release date soon…it will not be out this month. Fine, we will tell you that it will be in August but don’t’ tell anyone else..."

Sounds like they are trying to make the situation not sound as bad as it is. Really doubtful they can get four more done before the show returns. This DLC will com with many problems which will all require fixing and who knows how long that will take.Quote:

Dev Blog: Castithan Charge Pack and the future of Defiance
Posted on: 07.23.2013
Ok, time to write the introduction blog. Hello. My name is Chris Lena and I am the new Executive Producer for Defiance. I have been working at Trion for over three years and started on Defiance last November (almost exactly 6 months before launch). My background is a long history of working on massively multiplayer games both live and in development which has driven home the fact that those that play your game are not just customers but partners. That there is a back and forth, a blurring of developer and player, that doesn’t happen with other games and is one of the main reasons that I love working in this genre. But enough about me, let’s get down to business.
Our first DLC is coming up and we will be revealing that release date soon…it will not be out this month. Fine, we will tell you that it will be in August but don’t’ tell anyone else. Ok? I know I can trust you. We did want to get this out sooner but we had some launch issues to care of first.
I like how he mentions the 5 dlcs will still come out this year, but I would put a huge disclaimer on that with regards to unexpected issues/bugs.
They can put 5 dlc out no problem.Quote:

People are under the false impression that all dlc is going to be quite substantial and if history has shown us .... most dlc for a game is utter garbage (yes horse armour, i'm looking at you).
That is true, they can make 1 outfit and call it their 2nd DLC.Quote:

They stated the 5 DLC's would come out after the first season of Defy was over - it's over. So pretty much anytime between your next b!tchrant and season 2 will tech. be within their attempted timeline. The only dupe here is you. If you're so inept as to not understand how & why then feel free to PM me cuz' I really feel like dropping F-bomb-laced logic in yo' face.
*looks for an appropriate Picard facepalm but can't find one that goes to warp 11*
They've already stated that the 5 DLCs would serve as expansions, with content updates coming in between them. So yes, the DLCs will be substantial.Quote:

He would've been smarter to buy himself more time by saying until season 2 of Defiance starts in June. So he cut off 2 months of wiggle room he could've had at a time when they need all the wiggle room they can get.
