Omega Force, the creative force behind Age of Calamity, is poised to unleash their latest installment in the Hyrule Warriors franchise. Scheduled for release on November 6, 2025, Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment will be available exclusively on Nintendo Switch 2. This game promises to transport players into the heart of the Imprisoning War, setting the stage for the epic narrative of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
A New Adventure in Hyrule
Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment offers players a chance to explore the legendary Imprisoning War. In this musou-style game, players will join forces with Princess Zelda, King Rauru, and the legendary Sages, each wielding their own unique fighting styles. The recently released trailer teases thrilling gameplay, showcasing an array of combination attacks that players can execute with allies to vanquish hordes of enemies.
Addressing Past Concerns
The previous title, Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, launched in 2020 on the Nintendo Switch, encountered criticism regarding its framerate and performance issues, despite achieving remarkable sales of over 3 million copies. Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment, exclusive to Nintendo Switch 2, has the opportunity to overcome these performance challenges, harnessing the enhanced capabilities of the new hardware. While it’s unrealistic to expect a completely bug-free launch, there’s hope that major performance issues will not hinder this new release.
