Description

Koei Tecmo’s musou action title, Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, has officially crossed the impressive threshold of four million units sold worldwide.

This significant achievement cements Age of Calamity’s position as one of the most successful entries in both the musou genre and the extended Zelda franchise since its launch exclusively on the Nintendo Switch in November 2020. Developed by Koei Tecmo in collaboration with Nintendo, Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity serves as a narrative prequel to the acclaimed The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, which itself stands as one of the best-selling games on both Nintendo Switch and Wii U.

The connection between the two titles has drawn widespread attention from fans and critics alike, with Age of Calamity exploring the cataclysmic events leading up to the story of Breath of the Wild. The sales figure, which surpasses four million units globally, encompasses both physical retail copies and digital downloads accessible through the Nintendo eShop.

This milestone demonstrates the ongoing appeal of the Zelda universe and highlights the successful fusion of musou action mechanics with beloved Zelda storytelling.

In an official statement, Koei Tecmo noted that the game’s performance reflects strong worldwide demand and enduring enthusiasm for both the musou genre and the Zelda series. Expanding on its base game content, Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity has offered fans even more value through its robust Expansion Pass.

Available now on the Nintendo eShop, this Expansion Pass grants access to two major expansions—each packed with new characters, stages, and narrative content.

These expansions have been released in full, further bolstering the replayability and longevity of the title.

Since its release, Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity has garnered praise for its fast-paced combat, character variety, and the way it enriches the lore of The Legend of Zelda universe.

Its performance at retail and on Nintendo’s digital platforms illustrates the enduring strength of the franchise and Koei Tecmo’s expertise in developing large-scale, action-driven titles curated for Nintendo Switch’s global audience.
