There’s a new trailer for Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment
In this Switch 2 game, the fate of ancient Hyrule hangs in the balance. You stand alongside Princess Zelda as Demon King Ganondorf’s dark forces sweep across the kingdom. This begins the untold chapter of Hyrule’s history, and how this time ultimately leads to the events of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. The prequel (of a different genre) is expected to launch on November 6.
King Rauru and Princess Zelda lead a defence against an invasion that will determine the fate of the kingdom. You will meet characters throughout the game, including some new faces like Calamo, a boisterous Korok wandering Hyrule in search of a place to put down roots, and the Mysterious Construct, who can transform and take to the skies.. Get to know the legendary Sages: Agraston, the worldly chief of the Gorons; the courageous Zora queen Qia; and Raphica, the quick-witted leader of the Rito. Everyone must form a united front to defend the kingdom.
Developed by AAA Game Studio and published by Nintendo and Koei Tecmo, Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment will be released for Switch 2 on November 6.
