Koei Tecmo has captured the attention of Nintendo fans with the upcoming release of Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment, the latest addition to the action-packed Hyrule Warriors series.
Unveiled during the most recent Nintendo Direct, the title is set to launch exclusively for the Nintendo Switch 2 on November 6, 2025, and will introduce a host of exciting new features both in-game and as part of its special Japanese edition.
One of the major highlights is the announcement of a premium 'Treasure Box' edition, available exclusively in Japan.
Priced at 17,780 Yen, this collector’s set is brimming with exclusive memorabilia, aimed squarely at dedicated fans and collectors.
The Treasure Box includes a copy of Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment, a commemorative scarf, a cloth poster, a high-quality acrylic standee, a collectible keychain, and two clear sheets featuring artwork from the game.
The reveal was shared via social media by Nintendeal, showcasing the impressive assortment of keepsakes packed into this edition.
This move echoes the previous strategy taken for Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, which also launched with a similar Treasure Box edition in Japan back in 2020.
That release saw robust demand from collectors who appreciated the attention to detail and exclusive items celebrating the beloved franchise.
In addition to the Treasure Box, Nintendo fans can expect updated box art specifically designed for the Nintendo Switch 2, signaling the publisher’s commitment to taking advantage of the next-generation hardware’s capabilities.
Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment will offer engaging new gameplay options, including support for two-player splitscreen and GameShare mode.
These features will allow users to team up, with splitscreen co-op available on the same console and GameShare extending play to those on the original Switch as well.
As industry watchers note, Koei Tecmo’s ongoing collaboration with Nintendo continues to expand the reach of the Hyrule Warriors franchise, blending large-scale action gameplay with the rich narrative world of The Legend of Zelda.
With its November 2025 release date locked in exclusively for Nintendo Switch 2, anticipation is high among fans eager to experience both the new adventures and the carefully curated physical editions that have become a hallmark of the series.
Collectors and players outside Japan are awaiting news regarding local special editions or preorder incentives, but for now, the Japanese Treasure Box remains a standout offering.
Stay tuned for more updates as the launch of Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment approaches and additional details on global release plans emerge.
