The update will allow fans to discover Octavo’s true intentions and push players to understand the villain’s takeover of the land further. To experience the new content, fans must have completed the main campaign. Once this is done, Octavo becomes a playable character in his own story, letting you further understand this deep character.
The game still keeps the initial theme harnessing the power of dance to defeat all of your foes. There are other minor updates, but the core concept stays consist within this DLC. This free holiday surprise is already the talk of many online communities as they seek to dance their way through all of this bopping bonus content.
A new campaign is not all that has come to the game. A new “Dungeon Mode” is also being added to the game. It is a challenge for those who have completed the main quest and want something new. This new mode retains the controls of Crypt of the Necrodancer but mixes it with the foes found within The Legend of Zelda universe.
There are sure to be many other minor changes made to the game in this DLC expansion. Fans are expecting balance adjustments and maybe some minor bug fixes to be slipped into the update.
The one aspect of this DLC that has fans more excited is a very small change. Now you can pet the dog in Cadence of Hyrule. Fans of the game have flocked to give their appreciation of the digital pooch and assure the dog that it is, in fact, a good dog.
This game is available on the Nintendo Switch only. It is available in both physical and digital forms.
