Hyrule Warriors’ development is complete, and the game has now been released in Japan. However, Koei Tecmo doesn’t intend to end its support anytime soon.
On the official Japanese Hyrule Warriors Twitter account, a message posted states that the game will receive “long-term updates and a large-scale mode expansion”.
Here’s the full translation:
“New information to commemorate the release. Hyrule Warriors is a “festive Zelda title” that was made with much effort. In order to have you folks enjoy it for longer, we’re currently planning long-term updates and a large-scale mode expansion. We’ve received a few bug reports, so we’ll be working on that as well.”
“For these reasons, the development staff will be working in the midst of Obon (Japanese holiday). Keep it a secret from everyone!”
