Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity has received an update that will now allow players to purchase the expansion pass within the game menu. The only other changes in this update include slight modifications to the English and Dutch narrations during the game.

The full patch notes are included below.

When the Expansion Pass for Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity was announced earlier this year, we heard that a special bonus was planned. Those that purchase the DLC will gain access to an additional in-game weapon and costume for Link. We now know that the bonus is the Prototype Ancient Sword and Prototype Ancient equipment – check out the design above.

These items can be used starting on May 28. The first part of the Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity Expansion Pass will then arrive by the end of June, followed by the second drop by the end of November.
