Sorry to say, however in case you had been hoping that The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom would get the DLC therapy, you are going to be fairly disenchanted.
Talking in an interview with Famitsu (translations by IGN), The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom producer Eiji Aonuma was broached concerning the subject of DLC, the place he confirmed that the immensely in style sequel wouldn’t be receiving any. “There are not any plans to launch extra content material this time, however that is as a result of I really feel like we have achieved every part we are able to to create enjoyable in that world,” Aonuma stated. This may come as a little bit of a shock to some, contemplating the sport has shifted shut to twenty million models, virtually a 3rd of Breath of the Wild’s lifetime gross sales.

It is also a shock contemplating Breath of the Wild itself did obtain a two half DLC within the type of The Grasp Trials and The Champion’s Ballad. These two bouts of DLC added in some additional challenges, like an additional exhausting Grasp Mode, the Hero’s Path map characteristic, Grasp Sword trials, new clothes, and extra backstory for the sport’s Champions. Tears of the Kingdom itself was initially deliberate to be DLC, however the scope grew too massive and finally it was determined it could turn out to be a sequel as a substitute.
Aonuma’s feedback did additionally appear to indicate they’re on the very least beginning to plan the following sport within the collection, although he did not utterly rule out returning to the Hyrule established in Breath of the Wild. “Within the first place, the explanation I made a decision to make this a sequel to the earlier work was as a result of I believed there was worth in experiencing a brand new sport in that Hyrule place,” the producer stated. “If that is the case, if a brand new cause arises, we’d return to the identical world once more. Whether or not it is a sequel or a brand new work, I feel it is going to be a very new sport, so I hope you are trying ahead to it.”
For those who ask me, that transfer seems like a “by no means say by no means, however in all probability not,” sort of scenario, and I do not assume they may simply justify a 3rd sport with the identical map. It is a disgrace that there will not be any DLC, as the sport is lacking fan favorite character Kass, and extra frustratingly, you may’t have max hearts and stamina after beating all shrines. What’s up with that Nintendo? At the least add in a couple of extra shrines, only for my sanity.
