It’s looking like we shouldn’t expect any DLC this time around. The original Switch version got those awesome expansions, ‘The Master Trials’ and ‘The Champions’ Ballad’ but industry analysts suggest that Nintendo’s focus for the Switch 2 is on delivering a fully realized, optimized experience from the outset, rather than relying on post-launch content additions.

This strategy aligns with the company’s emphasis on polished, complete games, especially for flagship titles. The Switch 2’s enhanced hardware is expected to allow for a more expansive and detailed Hyrule, negating the need for DLC to extend the game’s lifespan.

This decision, while potentially disappointing for fans hoping for new adventures, indicates Nintendo’s commitment to maximizing the base game’s potential. By leveraging the Switch 2’s capabilities, they aim to create a definitive “Breath of the Wild” experience, setting a new standard for open-world adventures on their next-generation console.
