Nintendo Could Be Working on a New Game as “No Plans” Ready for Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Expansion

Nintendo unfortunately has no further plans for The Legend of Zelda Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Similar to other Zelda titles, this game received a global acclamation from fans. However, there will be no more Tears of the Kingdom content, just tears for the fans.

Fans were hoping Nintendo would bring a DLC to this title, similar to The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild DLC. However, it looks like Nintendo has planned to pause its famous franchise for now. To provide clarity, the game’s producer has revealed the reason for the decision. Further, he spilled some details about their upcoming project, which will surely take everyone bowled over. 

No more Tears of the Kingdom, at least for now

Although fans loved the plot of Tears of the Kingdom and were hoping for a DLC, the producer has confirmed that the team has given their best already in the franchise. While giving an interview to Japan’s famous Famitsu magazine, producer Eiji Aonuma said-

“There are no plans to release additional content this time, but that’s because I feel like I’ve done everything I can to create games in that world. In the first place, the reason why we chose this time as a sequel to the previous game is because we thought there would be value in experiencing a new kind of play in that place in Hyrule. Then, if such a reason is newly born, it may return to the same world again. Whether it’s a sequel or a new work, I think it will be a completely new way to play, so I’d be happy if you could look forward to it.”

Aonuma’s statements may have disappointed fans looking forward to additional Tears of the Kingdom content. However, he might have given a silver lining. His statement implies that they could focus on a new Zelda title. Moreover, there’s always a chance they could revisit Hyrule in future.

Into the world of Tears of the Kingdom

Tears of the Kingdom is truly an open-world game, in every sense of the term. It allows players to explore the realms of Hyrule with full freedom. Released in May this year, Tears of the Kingdom gave players the liberty to explore the mysterious floating islands of the sky and exciting quests and objects into the depths of the mythical land of Hyrule.

The game includes abilities, such as Fuse, Ultrahand, Ascend, Recall, and Autobuild. Tears of the Kingdom received so much love that it sold over ten million copies within three days of its launch in May. By June, this Zelda title sold over 18.51 million copies.

Although the game is a massive success, Nintendo has decided to put the series behind for now at least. With their intention of focusing on new games, it will be interesting to see what’s next in the series, whenever they decide to return to it.
