Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment Announced for Nintendo Switch 2, Launches November 2025

Nintendo has officially unveiled "Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment" in its latest Nintendo Direct presentation, confirming the highly anticipated title for the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2.

Building upon the storied legacy of the Legend of Zelda franchise, Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment launches worldwide on November 6, 2025, with pre-orders available starting today via the Nintendo eShop and select retailers. Developed as a direct continuation in the Hyrule Warriors saga, this title thrusts players into another epic confrontation against Ganondorf's invading forces.

Players will defend Hyrule alongside a cast blending fresh faces and established heroes from the Legend of Zelda universe.

The game leverages the enhanced capabilities of the Nintendo Switch 2, enhanced multiplayer experiences, and robust amiibo integration to further expand the action-strategy formula trusted by fans. According to details revealed during the Nintendo Direct broadcast, Age of Imprisonment introduces flexible cooperative play options.

Gamers can unite online with friends for two-player co-op, enjoy local split-screen action on a single Nintendo Switch 2 system, or connect through GameShare, a new feature enabling shared gameplay across compatible consoles. A notable highlight for collectors is extensive amiibo support; every amiibo figure from the Legend of Zelda series will unlock exclusive crafting materials and in-game bonuses, broadening customization options for players.

Additionally, those with save data from "Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity" or "The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom" will receive bonus weaponry at launch—a reward for devoted fans of the franchise. Nintendo shared in its official statement that, "Players will be able to team up in more ways than ever before.

With expanded compatibility and special rewards for returning Zelda fans, Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment aims to deliver a definitive large-scale adventure on the Nintendo Switch 2." Since its debut, the Hyrule Warriors series has carved a niche for itself, blending Dynasty Warriors-style action with the narrative depth and iconic worlds of The Legend of Zelda.

Age of Imprisonment promises to elevate the experience with new gameplay features, deeper cooperative play, and ample content designed to engage both newcomers and longtime series followers. Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment will release exclusively on the Nintendo Switch 2 on November 6, 2025.
