Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity Expansion Pass

“New Game+ awaits.”

So, you’ve purchased The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, played it to death, loved every second of it and wish to keep the adventure going, but how? Once upon a time, back when we would purchase the games we love, it’s a case of compulsively playing them, playing them again and again until that’s your lot.

The only way the story would continue is if there was a sequel or another game in the series, but then came along Expansion Passes and DLC and while Nintendo was slow on the uptake, it’s finally something they’ve embraced wholeheartedly in the last decade and now those great games of theirs, have become games that keep on giving.

Granted, not every offering has provided players with free downloadable content, such as ARMS, Kirby Star Allies, Super Mario Odyssey, but there is a great number of titles that have unmissable paid DLC that well and truly help keep their associated games alive and those are the game’s we’re dedicating this guide to.

Any Deluxe or Definitive release that comes with all previously released DLC packaged in, will not get a mention in our line-up of games and nor will the likes of Daemon X Machina, which has a huge offering of DLC, but that’s Individual DLC, whereas we’re focusing on Packs and Expansion Passes, something you only need to purchase once but get tons of content in return.

What’s more, in this guide, we will only be focusing on games that offer DLC that have either been developed and/or published by Nintendo, although we will be including the Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle, purely because it is Mario in nature, and with the Donkey Kong Adventure story being part of it’s associated DLC pack, aka God tier DLC, it would be foolish not to include it.

Every game featured, are listed in alphabetical order, and will information regarding pricing and contents of said DLC. We’ve also provided the following list, so you know exactly what games we are covering:

  • Animal Crossing: New Horizons – Happy Home Paradise
  • Cadence of Hyrule: Crypt of the NecroDancer Featuring The Legend of Zelda Season Pass
  • Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker – Special Episode
  • Fire Emblem Engage – Expansion Pass
  • Fire Emblem: Three Houses – Expansion Pass

  • Luigi’s Mansion 3: Multiplayer Pack
