Today’s Nintendo Direct Mini: Partners Showcase began with some big announcements of content coming to the Zelda rhythm based game Cadence of Hyrule: Crypt of the NecroDancer Featuring The Legend of Zelda.

Nintendo announced that there are a total of 3 separate DLC packs arriving this year, with the first DLC pack hitting the eShop today (July 20, 2020) at $5.99. We pulled the following info from all three DLC packs and have listed them for you below:

• Pack 1 is a character pack – In this DLC pack, you get five more playable characters added to the game.
• Pack 2 is a song pack – In this DLC pack, 39 additional songs will be added to the game. Some of these will even be remixed versions of the game’s music. You have the ability to change the background music in the game whenever you want, so you can listen to your favorite songs as you play through.
• Pack 3 is a story pack – In this DLC pack, you’ve unlock extra game story content. Sympthony of the masks lets you play as the skull kid where you venture through a new map which has additional songs and story content. Skull kid has the power to use extra abilities which come from the masks that he equips.

While pack 1 of the Cadence of Hyrule DLC releases today on the Nintendo Switch eShop, packs 2 and 3 will be releasing later on, sometime before the end of October. DLC pack 2 will be $5.99 and DLC pack 3 will be $9.99. The season pass will be available for $14.99. If you pick up the season pass, you can snag all three of the DLC passes the moment they become available and you get additional bonus costumes for Link and Zelda.
