Big news for Hyrule Warriors, and the game hasn’t even hit the shelves yet in the states!
Koei Tecmo released screenshots of the first official DLC pack for Hyrule Warriors. Yes, you can pre-order and get some minor DLC, but we’re talking full fledged, new maps, scenarios and, yes – NEW playable characters!
The main baddies of this game, Cia, Volga, and Wizzro, will be included in the DLC, along with a few menu customization options. As far as we know, these characters will be free in conjunction with a 1.3.0 software update due out September 30.
The pricing on the DLC is listed in yen, so the dates posted might only reflect Japan release dates. No official confirmation for North America has been given, but come one, we’re sure we’ll see it.
Here is a breakdown of DLC Packs and their (tentative) release dates:
Hyrule Warriors Master Quest pack
- October 16, 2014
- 1 new scenario
- 1 new weapon
- New Adventure Map
- 2 costumes
Twilight Princess pack
- November 2014
- 1 new character
- 1 new weapon
- New Adventure Map
- 2 new costumes
Majora’s Mask pack
- January 2015
- Two characters
- New adventure map
- 3 costumes
Ganon pack
- Out in February 2014
- 2 new game modes
Koei Tecmo is offering a special promotion for Hyrule Warriors players. The four packs can be pre-ordered for only 3,000 yen. Again, we’re still waiting pricing and confirmation for North America, but we’re pretty confident we’ll see it soon.
Users can get a free Dark Link skin by pre-ordering all pieces of DLC.
