Publishers Nintendo and Koei Tecmo have announced that a free update for Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment will launch on November 27. It will include two new weapons, a new Sync Strike for Zelda and Calamo, and more. Additional details have yet to be revealed. Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment is available now for Nintendo Switch 2. In the game, players will “step on to the battlefield as Princess Zelda, King Rauru, and other legendary heroes as you fight to reclaim your homeland.”
The game’s details:
Battle hordes of enemies in the untold story of the Imprisoning War.
Fight the war for Ancient Hyrule! Step on to the battlefield as Princess Zelda, King Rauru, and other legendary heroes as you fight to reclaim your homeland—and live the story of Demon King Ganondorf’s invasion that was only briefly alluded to in The Legend of Zelda™: Tears of the Kingdom game.
Fight Alongside New and Familiar Heroes to Defend Hyrule From the Demon King
Princess Zelda is not alone in this war! Join Mineru, the Sages, and even some brand-new heroes in battles against Ganondorf’s forces. Combine powerful Zonai Devices with your heroes’ signature abilities to take down powerful bosses and their legions of minions.
Team up With a Friend in Two-Player Local Cooperative Play via Split-Screen or Gameshare
Join up with a friend for two-player local cooperative play, and you can spread out to cover more ground as the war unfolds—or stick together and combine your powers to smash the opposition. Play split-screen on a single system, or on two separate systems via GameShare—either way, only one person needs to have the game.
Tap Any The Legend of Zelda series amiibo for Extra Items
Scan any The Legend of Zelda series amiibo figure to get in-game rewards including crafting materials and other items that you might find helpful in your quest to defeat the Demon King!
Use Save Data From Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity or The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom to Get Additional Weapons
If you have save data from the Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity game on your system when you play, you’ll receive a High Guard’s Claymore. If you have save data from The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom game, you receive a High Guard’s Sword. These weapons can be redeemed after returning to the Hyrule map upon completion of The Howling Tempest mission.
