Canvaleon’s free DLC now coming this month

Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 1 Comment

Some of you may recall that free DLC was planned for the Wii U eShop title Canvaleon. In October, a November launch had been announced for the content. But that month came and went though without any news from developer OXiAB Game Studio.

We still don’t have an exact date yet, but the DLC is now targeted for “the Christmas Season.” Canvaleon is also coming to additional territories this month. Cyprus, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Slovakia, Slovenia, Bulgaria, Croatia, Hungary, and Romania will have the game on December 10. A release in Germany, Australia and New Zealand will also be happening later this month.

Here’s a refresher of what’s included in Canvaleon’s upcoming DLC:
