Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Imprisonment Gets A November Release Date

During today's Nintendo Direct, Nintendo finally confirmed that Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment will be releasing on November 6, 2025.

Some new details were revealed about the game as well. For one, much like in Tears of the Kingdom, you'll be able to use Zonai Devices to fend off enemies. The game is also available to play in two-player, split-screen co-op. While the spin-off won't be available on the original Nintendo Switch, through the GameShare function you can play online co-op with someone who has the first console.

The new trailer also showed off the game's Sync Strike moves as seen in the previous trailer, which see two characters pairing up to perform a stronger attack. Alongside that, it showed that Sonia and an unnamed Korok will both be playable characters. It's also possible the game will feature some kind of sky battles, as one character is shown flying some kind of contraption while fighting a Frost Gleeok. Zelda can seemingly mount a Zonai contraption to use in battle as well, but not much of this was shown off this in the trailer.

This Tears of the Kingdom spin-off also promises to dive deeper into some of the lore established in the original game, in particular the battle that took place with the original Ganondorf. The previous Hyrule Warriors, Age of Calamity, was non-canonical as it changed some story elements, so it's yet to be seen if Age of Imprisonment will keep everything the same or not.
