Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment, developed by Koei Tecmo in partnership with Nintendo, is set to make its highly anticipated debut on the Nintendo Switch 2.
The hack-and-slash action title, set against the backdrop of Hyrule's ancient struggle, officially launches on November 6, 2025.
This next chapter in the beloved Hyrule Warriors series invites players to take on the roles of Princess Zelda, King Rauru, and a host of heroic allies as they face off against the imposing Demon King Ganondorf and his forces.
In the latest announcement aimed at Japanese fans, a special Treasure Box edition of Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment has been unveiled, delivering exclusive content to collectors and series enthusiasts.
The Japanese Treasure Box includes the base game alongside a suite of themed memorabilia: a distinctive scarf, a decorative cloth poster, an acrylic standee, a finely crafted wood keychain, and a pair of clear display sheets.
Each item has been thoughtfully designed to celebrate various characters and moments from the upcoming adventure, making this edition a highly coveted collector’s piece among Zelda aficionados.
Although the Treasure Box edition is currently confirmed only for Japan, potential import options may become available, especially since the Nintendo Switch 2 maintains region-free compatibility.
This means dedicated fans outside of Japan could potentially acquire the exclusive set through international retailers or import services.
Nintendo and Koei Tecmo have not yet announced plans for a western special edition, but updates regarding import pre-orders are expected to follow as the release date approaches.
The core gameplay of Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment centers on large-scale battles where players command iconic heroes such as Princess Zelda and newly introduced warriors like King Rauru and Mineru.
Joined by the legendary Sages and several brand-new faces, the characters must unite their unique abilities with innovative Zonai Devices to vanquish powerful bosses and overwhelming enemy hordes.
This blend of strategic action and character-driven storytelling promises to deliver an immersive and exhilarating experience for both veterans of the Hyrule Warriors franchise and newcomers alike.
Koei Tecmo’s sustained excellence in collaborative development with Nintendo has kept the Warriors franchise at the forefront of action gaming, celebrated for its dynamic combat systems and expansive narrative scope.
