Koei Tecmo has officially announced that Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment has achieved a major milestone, selling over one million copies worldwide since launching on the Nintendo Switch 2.
This impressive sales figure was disclosed in the publisher’s third-quarter financial results, underlining the significant appetite for The Legend of Zelda spin-offs among the Nintendo fanbase.
Developed collaboratively by AAA Games Studio in partnership with Nintendo, Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment expands on the franchise’s lore by delving into the fabled Imprisoning War—the ancient conflict that predates the events of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
The game continues Koei Tecmo’s tradition of blending Musou-style action with rich storytelling inspired by one of Nintendo's most iconic properties. Since its release, Koei Tecmo and AAA Games Studio have committed to supporting the game post-launch, promising two major free content updates for all players.
The first content update, deployed in late November, introduced formidable Vicious enemies that challenge players with tougher battles and greater rewards.
Among the additions were two new weapon types and an enhanced 'Sync Strike' ability, available for both Zelda and Calamo, enriching the already robust gameplay experience. Critical reception has been strong, with the game drawing praise for its seamless integration of classic Zelda gameplay mechanics into the fast-paced Musou formula.
According to a recent review, "AAA Games Studio has expertly meshed the experimental gameplay systems of Tears of the Kingdom with its own trademark Musou combat.
The depiction of ancient Hyrule’s struggle is deeply engaging, particularly for fans invested in exploring the lesser-known corners of Zelda lore.
Ultimately, Age of Imprisonment stands as a memorable addition to the Legend of Zelda universe." Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment is now available globally, both at retail locations and through digital download on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch 2.
The game's continued commercial success and ongoing content support emphasize Nintendo and Koei Tecmo's commitment to the franchise, ensuring that both newcomers and long-standing Zelda fans have plenty to explore in Hyrule’s storied past.
