Hyrule Warriors Free DLC Update Makes Villains Playable

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.

Twilight Princess Pack - Late November, 1200 yen
Contains one new character, one new weapon, an Adventure map pack and two new costumes.

Majora's Mask Pack - January 2015, 1200 yen
Contains two new characters, an Adventure map pack and three new costumes.

Boss Pack - February 2015, 500 yen
Contains two new game modes.

Fans can pre-purchase all of the above DLC in an all-in-one package from 30th September in Japan; doing so will net a Dark Link costume.

Nintendo of America has tweeted to say the all-in-one pack will cost $19.99, whilst it is available to pre-purchase now on the UK eShop for £13.49 and in Europe for €14.99. 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.
