Hyrule Warriors: New Game Mode Coming as Free DLC

August 22, 2014 by Tony Ponce

First post-launch update is currently in testing.

Hyrule Warriors released in Japan just last Thursday, but Koei Tecmo is already prepping an update. If you are worried that the powers that be are necessarily turning this game into a DLC money-maker, rest easy — at least for now. That's because this first update will be free!

According to this Tweet on the Japanese Hyrule Warriors Twitter page (and interpreted on NeoGAF), this new update is currently in the bug testing phase. It won't just include fixes, however — there will be a brand new game mode as well! They don't say what the mode will be like, but they suggest that it will be a significant addition.

We'll find out more as news trickles down. Meanwhile, hang tight for Hyrule Warriors' North American Wii U release on September 26.
