[Original story]
Nintendo of Europe has announced that four packs of paid DLC for Hyrule Warriors will arrive on sixteenth of October. On top of this, there will be free DLC granting the ability to play as the villains Cia, Volga and Wizzro also arriving on the same day. If you pre-purchase all four paid DLC packs you will receive a Dark Link costume for Link straight away. There is no word yet on whether this will be made available for North America, although I cannot see a reason it won’t be.
Will having even more content available push you towards picking up a copy? Let me know your thoughts in the comments.
Firstly, you should add another update detailing the DLC (I had to look elsewhere for the DLC details). Once I found everythingNoffered in the DLC, I will DEFINITELY be purchasing this DLC (which is better than Tecmo Koei's usual nothing but extra outfits). Can't wait to pick up this title! ONE MORE WEEK!!
Thanks for the heads up and I apologize for the lack of detail.
My copy of Hyrule Warriors has just come through the post, so be sure to listen to the next edition of Infendo Radio for my impressions.
Also, there will be a review coming next week.
This game has excellent long term support, which is unusual for Koei-Tecmo.
I hope Fierce Deity Link is a downloadable character.
Colin, I am so jealous of you right now! Like I said, I like the number of extra characters they are including in DLC (since it's normally just costumes or (at most) a scenario). It also really helps offset the small(ish) initial cast.
