The Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity Expansion Pass finally goes beyond pre-order bonuses this week, with Nintendo pitching the add-on towards the end of its E3 Direct. Wave 1 - Pulse of the Ancients lands this week on 18th June, with Wave 2 - Guardian of Remembrance due in November.
As for what Wave 1 gives you, the details are below (and at the end of the trailer above):
- New playable character - Battle Tested Guardian
- New weapon types - Flail for Link and Master Cycle for Zelda
- New 'Apocalyptic' difficulty setting
- New challenges in the Royal Ancient Lab
- New tougher enemies - higher ranking Wizzrobes, Giant Chuchu 'and more'
Do you have the expansion pass pre-ordered, or are you tempted to take the plunge?

I probably won't be biting on the season pass until there's a discount. I'm sure there's value for other people, but so far it feels lackluster compared to any of the original Hyrule Warriors DLC.
@Mario_maniac Pretty much how I feel. I have already 100%ed the game; this DLC doesn't seem to offer any reason to return.
I care more about why Zelda has the Master Cycle than actually playing this.
Enjoyed the game immensely, but it felt like they were already scraping the bottom of the barrell for characters.
I'm on the last section of the game. I'd only be interested in DLC if there was more story.
My kids finished this playing co-op awhile back, both said they weren't going back. I have 3 of the 4 mythical beasts, and while I wouldn't say no to more, my wallet is. 😉 And yes, I know, devs need to get paid, but I just finished an entire year of ACNH updates, all at no extra cost, so apparently they don't.🤷
I’ll get it as I enjoyed the hell out of this game!
Yeah this DLC is very lackluster. Age of Calamity is a great game but this feels like they expect you to be excited over being able to play as a Guardian and Zelda on a motorcycle. Also, what do these 'new challenges in Royal Ancient Lab' even mean?
Not very exciting. Maybe wave 2 will bring me in but as of now, not a chance unless it's at least 50% off.
I'm looking forward to it...too bad we'll have to wait the end of the year for the second wave!
I agree about the DLC being a bit plain... but that doesn't mean I won't buy it! I absolutely loved the base game, whether it was the story or 100%ing it, it was all great! I also half-predicted a playable guardian, so that's nice!
Where’s Sooga?!
@CheekyZelda 2nd wave of DLC probably
All in on the DLC, I've loved this game. It clicked way more for me than Fire Emblem Warriors did, and the art style makes it all a little more enjoyable than Hyrule Warriors was for me. I'm surprised there's no info about the level cap, though. Is it not rising with this DLC?
@CheekyZelda He's pretry much the one I'm waiting for.
Apocalyptic difficulty!? That sounds intense! Now this is exciting. I wonder how Zelda on a motorcycle will play.
Exciting stuff 😁😁
I'll wait for a definitive edition.
Was the performance ever improved in this game? It was really honestly pretty bad.
I'd say one of the worst 1st party games performance wise on the system.
@moodycat How did you play the original? On Wii U without DLC it was only slightly above AoC in content, it only really got bucket loads of content with DLC.
If only they make upgrading weapon easier, without repeating mission
