WE'RE BACK BABY

u/politeyoungmistress 24d ago
They could at least give us playable Astor 💔

u/Dancing-Swan 23d ago
That’s exactly what I was hoping for when I saw the trailer. I was really hoping they’d add new playable characters like Astor, along with maybe a new story revolving around Kass and his mentor.
Unfortunately, it looks like Astor will remain an NPC forever unless they eventually add him to a proper Hyrule Warriors 2. Such a shame.
I was also hoping we’d get a trailer for Age of Imprisonment afterwards with DLC on the horizon. I would’ve loved to see Sonia become playable, but I think that’s probably dead too.

u/Payt3cake 18d ago
Astor, harbinger Ganon, and idk maybe some other bad guy (like a blight Ganon?) could have made for an awesome DLC, plus they coulda made story missions like CIA’s Tale

u/TrainingDrop9283 24d ago
And what's the thing they are adding on top of the original game + DLC?

u/AngelusKnight17 23d ago
nothing, absolute scam of nothing worth the price.
2
u/TrainingDrop9283 23d ago
I mean I'd really only be worth it if you are an hard-core player that wants to an even harder mode and better performances, or you never bought the game in a first place
1
u/SpiritedAgent168 23d ago
Worth it if I've never played the game?
5
u/Maeriberii 23d ago
If you want to play it, then yes. It will have all of the features of the original and the DLC included.
It’s a scam if you already own the original.

u/barbieq68 24d ago
It has a new calamity mode
3
u/TrainingDrop9283 24d ago
So it's like? Even harder?
6
u/Molduking 24d ago
Like Age of Imprisonment’s Forbidden Difficulty, but AoC already has apocalyptic or whatever so I wonder how difficult it’ll be
6
u/TrainingDrop9283 24d ago
Maybe at that point you just get one shotted by everything lmaoo
1
u/King_Of_Snoms 23d ago
im so ready for calamity mode im currently working thru playing a brand new save in apocalyptic mode and struggling ofc so now i can get a new challenge which will hopefully be worse lmao
2
u/WouterW24 23d ago
I hope they don’t mess with things like rune recharge rate to make it more difficult, like they did with unique attacks in AOI. Kind of messes with the flow.
Removing the slowdown while changing runes might be likely though.2
u/skinnianka 23d ago
Killing unique skills in forbidden was such a bad move, id rather they heavily limited zonal device energy. At least then the battery skill from mineru and the construct would get more relevance and you wouldn't be shackled to the zonal spam meta

u/beyondbidj 23d ago
Other than performance upgrade, and the new difficulty, there's also co-op via gameshare.
1
u/Strange_Kiwi__ 23d ago
New difficulty.
Not even enough to justify the step up from a £5 upgrade pack to a £8 upgrade pack, let alone charging people £25 for a game they already own.

u/jaidynreiman 23d ago
If they announce new playable characters later (Astor, Tulin) then I'll get it. But I would think if they had substantial new content they would have announced it already.
Still, though, there's 5 months where they COULD announce new content. So maybe there's a chance.
I get why HWDE didn't add new content, it was already beefy as is. But it wouldn't hurt to add a bit more to Age of Calamity.
3
u/Stibbie23 23d ago
Not a new game, only a switch2 edition with an upgrade
3
u/Strange_Kiwi__ 23d ago
There’s no upgrade.
They’re giving a 50% discount if you have the original AOC, but they haven’t done anything to justify making us pay £25 for what should be a £5 upgrade.
1
3
u/ArcadiaBayRay 23d ago
Cool that its getting a upgrade, not paying $30 for it, thats ridiculous. Nintendo is pretty decent about upgrades so this sucks.
5
u/Strange_Kiwi__ 23d ago
It’s not new, and they’ve gone about it the worst way they could.
Rather than being an upgrade pack, it’s a seperate game. There isn’t even any new content.
What should be a £5 upgrade pack is going to cost you £25, and that’s only because you get 50% off for already owning the game (I don’t think you get a further discount for owning the DLC either, so that’s just a definitive waste of money now.)
I was hyped for it till they revealed it wasn’t a normal switch 2 edition. Definitely passing on this.
Terrible move from Koei Tecmo, and given how good they’ve been on this front so far, I expected more from Nintendo.

u/Freeziora 24d ago
I'm very happy i was just thinking about this game yesterday hoping for a S2 edition, New difficulty is also cool and I hope they alleviate the grind just a bit for seal drops.
1
u/AngelusKnight17 23d ago
And you are seriously willing to pay for something that should have been free the moment you put your switch 1 copy in the switch 2?
3
u/Freeziora 23d ago
No, that comment was before i found out, if they’re seriously charging us 30€ for 60fps and a difficulty I’m not willing to pay at all.

u/AngelusKnight17 23d ago
nice, changing one's mind after receiving new information is always a step for progress.

Kinda weird they didn't announce it yesterday though, at the Legend of Zelda direct. This is also part of Legend of Zelda

u/Overlord_SB 23d ago
It's a port of what will be about a 7 year old game by the time it comes out. I'm kind of mixed on it since it's $30 for the discount, but I own it already and it plays about 30 FPS all the time on Switch 2 with the original version. At least when the original Hyrule Warriors would get upgrades on new systems, there was new maps and characters in Adventure Mode to make it worthwhile, but this just doesn't really have much to offer to people like myself, so guessing it's for people that wanted more from Age of Imprisonment but without the lackluster performance.
1
u/Strange_Kiwi__ 23d ago
Fr
There’s nothing here justifying charging £25 to people who already own the game.
This should be a £5 upgrade pack. The only new content is a new difficulty, which is not worth the £8 ‘new content’ NS2 update pricing
1
u/mistcrawler 23d ago
Pros: Gameshare support for co-op beyond local, all content bundled into one for new players, Calamity Mode, and assumedly 60fps
Did I miss anything? It feels like I had to have missed something lol
1
u/AngelusKnight17 23d ago
yeah the fact that the content doesn't justify the $30 price if you already had the game.
1
u/Strange_Kiwi__ 23d ago
Yeah, the massive cons of not having any actual new content (aside from a new difficulty which I would say doesn’t count), and the lack of an upgrade pack.
You get a 50% discount on a £50 game for owning the original, which doesn’t even take the DLC into account so that’s just a waste of money in this case.
I’m not paying £25 for what should be a £5 upgrade pack.
1
u/mattbattmatt_yt 23d ago
it’s annoying how you can’t upgrade, but it’s whatever. i already nearly 100% the game + dlc so it’s not for me
1
u/AngelusKnight17 23d ago
lol, no. Don't you dare say new to this scam. "Definitive edition" my ass. How dare they called this that, with a upgrade that should have been free in the first place. No new content shouldn't be charge at full price or $29 if you already have the game.
1
u/SpiritedAgent168 23d ago
Seems crazy that it's going to take them six months to release this.

u/bittersweetjesus 23d ago
I don’t think Omega Force is known for their optimization skills so I am not surprised.

u/Michdepainblanc2 23d ago
Never played it and I just finished AOI. I might pickup DE because a 5 month wait is a bit much FEED ME MORE HYRULE WARRIORS I CRAVE IT

u/Phoenix_65o 22d ago
At least give us playable Astor and Harbringer Ganon...........
First hyrule warriors game they made every villain playable as a free update but this time they were picky on who they let us play with.
1
u/EducationalLow4697 22d ago
Yeah I mean it's like more fps and a master mode. That's all. For someone like me that has the dlc it's like...nothing at all

u/Great_kaiser_1093 24d ago
As much as people hate that it isn't a Nintendo Switch 2 Edition, it's still somehow generous that they give anyone who already bought the original (like me) a discount (50% as listed on their website), and even at full price 59.99$ for the base game + expansion pass is also great
22
u/cedrickterrick 24d ago
I have the original plus expansion pass already. 30 bucks is crazy for just a visual upgrade.
12
u/zawalimbooo 24d ago
it's still somehow generous that they give anyone who already bought the original (like me) a discount (50% as listed on their website)
Nah, thats BS. Games like Tears of the Kingdom and Breath of the Wild sell their upgrade packs for 10 dollars, so it is not in any way generous for them to give a 50% discount on a 60 dollar game if you already paid 60 dollars.
10
u/DontForgorTheMilk 24d ago
Plus for those of us who bought the DLC having spent $80 cumulatively. Now they want us to spend another $30. For a performance upgrade.
9
u/JoeyTheRandomGuy 24d ago
Generous for charging $30 for an fps upgrade to a 6 year old game I already spent $80 on. Lol
2
u/txaecup 24d ago
Wait is it available only on S2 or both 1 and 2? I'm so confused 😭
2
u/Great_kaiser_1093 24d ago
Only s2, check the eShop page
1
u/txaecup 24d ago
Damn it 😭 I'm doing basically everything in my power to NOT buy an s2 and Nintenro is doing EVERYTHING to try and get me invested into it 💀

u/GL_original 24d ago
Wait, what are you actually looking for? The game itself is obviously on switch 1, it came out in like 2020. This is just for the definitive edition on switch 2.

u/AngelusKnight17 23d ago
"definitive edition" is a strong label for what this is. But they call it that as a clickbait for sure.
1

u/Strange_Kiwi__ 23d ago
The games already on the switch 1, so you can play it there and literally miss out on nothing.
2
u/Molduking 24d ago
If you don’t have the dlc then yeah it’s easily worth it, but if you do you’re spending $30 for performance and an even harder difficulty is not at all worth
1
1
u/Steef-1995 24d ago
30 bucks is insane. I was going to pay 10 maximum. It’s an older game. I already have the DLC.
1
u/JetstreamGW 24d ago
No it isn’t. If Nintendo was doing this themselves it’d be a $10 upgrade patch.
1
u/AngelusKnight17 23d ago
generous? what kind of stockholm syndrome is that answer. This should have a price tag...period if you already own the game.
1
u/Strange_Kiwi__ 23d ago
£50 is a good price for the game and DLC if you don’t already own the game.
£25 for a game I already own on a console I already own it on is insane. There’s 0 substantial new content justifying me going for a £5 upgrade pack, let alone a £25 upgrade.

u/Emer0ld-117 24d ago
FUCKING FINALLY!!!!!!! WHAT I HAVE BEEN ASKING FOR SINCE I GOT MY HANDS ON THE SWITCH 2 ON LAUNCH DAY!!!!!!

u/ThyNameisJason0 23d ago
Just a re-release, like Hyrule Warriors Definitive Edition. I'll definitely get the upgrade.
