The next and last announced downloadable content for Hyrule Warriors lets you wreak havoc on the battlefield as Link’s classic nemesis, the monstrous and tusky Ganon.

Available on March 12, the Boss Pack adds two new game modes: Boss Challenge is a classic boss rush mode, letting you square off against a string of enormous boss battles to unlock new costumes for Link, Zelda, and Lana. Ganon’s Fury, meanwhile, lets you spread chaos and destruction as a giant boss of your own, the svelte Gerudan Ganondorf’s monstrous boar form, Ganon. Cause enough mayhem and you can unlock new costumes for the villainous Cia and Ganondorf.

Ganon (or Gannon) was the Zelda series’ original antagonist. Ocarina of Time humanized him into Ganondorf, who took over duties as big bad for most of the games since. Ganon remains as the monstrous Hyde to Ganondorf’s Jekyll, often making appearances as a final boss form.

The Hyrule Warriors Boss Pack will be available for $3 on March 12, 2015 from the Nintendo eShop. Alternatively, if you don’t own the other DLC yet, you can purchase all four in the Hero of Hyrule Pack for $20, saving $7 over purchasing them individually.

Hyrule Warriors fuses the over-the-top large scale battles of Tecmo Koei’s Dynasty Warriors series with the rich lore and characters of Nintendo’s Legend of Zelda franchise.

In a company interview with CEO Yves Guillemot posted on the Ubisoft website Thursday, the executive reveals that there are remakes of Assassin's Creed games in the works, although he doesn't specify which ones.

"Players can be excited about some remakes, which will allow us to revisit some of the games we've created in the past and modernize them," he says, implying that it could pertain to games made before Odyssey. "There are worlds in some of our older Assassin's Creed games that are still extremely rich."

Surfaced patent shows what an Xbox streaming console would’ve looked like

An Xbox Series X sits next to both Series S models.

There have been a few Xbox devices that have never come to fruition, one of which was Keystone, a prototype for an affordable game streaming device you could hook up to your TV or monitor. Thanks to a surfaced patent, we've gotten an even closer look at what it would've potentially looked like.

The patent, first spotted by Windows Central, gives us a more complete view of the device. We've previously seen the Keystone in the flesh. Microsoft Gaming head Phil Spencer is known for hiding teases and interesting collectibles on the shelf in his office. In a 2022 X (formerly Twitter) post congratulating Bethesda on Fallout's 25th anniversary, you can see a small white device on the top shelf that's actually a Keystone prototype. Xbox told Digital Trends that it was a version of the device made before it decided to "refocus our efforts on a new approach.”
