'The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild' News: More DLC Planned After 'Champion's Ballad'?
Now that "Champion's Ballad," the second major downloadable content (DLC) for "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" is out, director Hidemaro Fujibayashi is ready to look ahead into what the future holds for the hit game.
In an interview with IGN, he hinted that more content might be released for the title, but nothing set in stone just yet:
I can't say at this point if it will be in sequels or in continuations, or what form it will take, but I definitely have lots of ideas and lots of motivation right now.
Fujibayashi said that whatever the new "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" content ends up being, it will likely be the result of ideas that he garners every day as he and his team continue to work and promote the game:
I think while we were working on both the main game and the DLC, it was a process of constantly getting lots of different, new ideas as we refined the game, and finding new things we wanted to do. Even in situations like this, talking to people and finding out that people want to pet dogs gives me a lot of motivation, a lot of ideas for things we could put into the game.
Producer Eiji Aonuma, on the other hand, hinted of new "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" DLC as he talked about how the expansions allowed them build on the world without having to do a full-on sequel.
After all, "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" serves as the first installment in the popular long-running high-fantasy action-adventure video game series to get the DLC treatment.
In the past, we always had to start from zero again, to completion. Usually we'd be thinking, "Oh, I wish we could add this, we could do that." What we couldn't do in that game, we would start fresh in a new game. But because we did a DLC, we realized it's a great way to kind of just improve that world, and kind of enhance it, and kind of raise it like your own child.
While fans wait for official news about new "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild," they can first pass the time by exploring "Champion's Ballad," which is out now.
