Posted on 2 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity ended up with two rounds of DLC as part of the game’s Expansion Pass. However, according to the development team, that wasn’t always the plan.
In a previous interview with Nintendo Dream, the Japanese magazine spoke with director Ryouta Matsushita, producers Yosuke Hayashi and Masaki Furusawa, and artist Yu Oboshi. They revealed that the DLC only came about later, largely following fan requests. According to Hayashi, the team wanted to focus on “ideas that we couldn’t put in the main game.”

A previous issue of Japanese magazine Nintendo Dream featured an interview with some of the core staff involved in the production of Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity where they spoke candidly about their experiences developing the game. The discussion included development producer Masaki Furusawa, director Ryouta Matsushita, producer Yousuke Hayashi, and art director Yuu Oohashi.
One of the team’s biggest challenges while developing the game is probably not something you’d expect – the grass. According to the staff, it took the team half of the development time to get it right and involved hundreds of people from departments all over Koei Tecmo.
