Minecraft: new update and Halloween-themed DLC releasing later today

It’s been exactly a month since the last update for Minecraft: Wii U Edition, released on September 26th. Wondering when the next one will be? Sooner than you might think, as it’s coming… later today! Unfortunately, this update will not add anything really interesting free, as it mostly consists of various fixes. That being said, it does add some Halloween-themed DLC, but you will have to pay for that.

Here’s the DLC that will be available right after the update has been released:

• Battle Map Pack 4 (€2.99/£2.39/$2.99)

• Spooky Bundle (€6.99/£5.59/$6.99): includes the Halloween 2015 Mash-up Pack, Camp Fire Tales Skin Pack, and Halloween Battle Map.
• Builder’s Pack (€16.99/£12.79/$16.99), includes the Biome Settlers Skin Pack 1, Candy Texture Pack, Cartoon Texture Pack, Pattern Texture Pack, Plastic Texture Pack and Greek Mythology Mash-up.

To download this update, you have two options:

• let the Wii U do its thing if you have automatic downloads activated. You should have the latest version of Minecraft: Wii U Edition installed the next time you turn on your console;
• if not, you can launch Minecraft: Wii U Edition from the Home Menu of your Wii U (not the Quick Start Menu!), in order to trigger the download manually.
