Hyrule Warriors Free DLC Update Makes Villains Playable on Nintendo gaming news, videos and discussion

Koei Tecmo has announced that the three villains of Hyrule Warriors, Cia, Volga and Wizzro, will all become playable in a free update that will arrive in Europe on 16th October.

This patch will also allow for enemy appearance cut-scenes in Adventure mode to be turned off.

Four paid DLC packages were announced, too, planned to arrive over the coming months in Japan. Expect Western details in due course.

Although said to be arriving in the same months as Japan, no other details such as exact dates and prices of individual packs were mentioned.

I do appreciate that they're doing free updates alongside paid ones. Making the three villains playable in a free update was a good call. If Majora's Mask is going to get a shot now, I hope The Wind Waker still has a chance. Hope the prices are decent enough, or at least the one for the bundle.

I'm willing to pay for good content, though. Still so much untapped potential in this crossover.

It's awesome to see this game is getting so much post-launch support. I've been playing the game for a few days now and it's really great. More content is really welcome!

I was puzzled as to why those 3 villains weren't playable anyway, I suspected they'd be the first DLC. I'm glad it's free though.

MM stuff, sweet. Probably Skull Kid... And Darmani, Lulu and Fierce Deity costumes.

I wouldn't count on TWW. Hopefully in HW2, but the biggest problem will be merging the artstyles. It could be weird to have a tiny, bright-colored Link running around.
