In an interview with Seth Killian, lead game designer at Sony Computer Entertainment, Santa Monica Studio, to Push Square, he revealed details about the upcoming Emmett DLC character for PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale gaming title.
Emmett is the main protagonist in Starhawk, a PlayStation 3 exclusive game. The character will use Build and Battle system along with several gun attacks.
"Personally, I've been really happy with the way that Emmett's trending on paper at least. He's got a lot of what they call the 'Build and Battle' system. Starhawk had a lot of great technology where you're always dropping crazy things from the sky, and we've tried to really implement that to represent the character. You can assume that some gun attacks will end up in his design as well, but we really wanted to accentuate this construction mechanic," Killian said to Push Square.
Apart from Emmett, Sony has also announced another downloadable character called Kat for PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale. The DLC will be available for free for the first two weeks of its release on PlayStation Store.
"She is a new character, but she had a huge impact as soon as Gravity Rush released. Obviously, as one of the stars of the PlayStation Vita, and with PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale being on the same platform, we wanted to unite those families. And also, we just need more ladies in the game. Kat's an awesome one too, because she's obviously an interesting character with unique abilities, so everyone on the team was really excited about adding her to the game. Thankfully, we were able to get the Gravity Rush team on board, and now it's full steam ahead," he added when asked about Kat.
Sony Computer Entertainment released PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale for PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita on Nov. 20.
