Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment Coming to Change 2 This Winter

It’s been 5 years for the reason that final recreation within the Hyrule Warriors sequence, when Koei Tecmo and Omega Drive introduced Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity to the Change. That recreation advised the story of the occasions 100 years previous to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, of Hyperlink, Zelda, and the Champions making an attempt to fend off the forces of Calamity Ganon. The sport’s ending offered an alternate end result to the one which arrange Breath of the Wild.

Naturally, after the discharge of Tears of the Kingdom, followers of Hyrule Warriors have been questioning: will we get one other entry to the sequence, and can or not it’s a prequel to Tears of the Kingdom?

The reply is a powerful sure. Throughout final week’s Change 2 Nintendo Direct, we obtained a trailer confirming {that a} new recreation within the sequence is headed to Change 2: Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment.

Age of Imprisonment will discover the occasions main as much as Tears of the Kingdom, particularly the Imprisoning Battle. The trailer exhibits many acquainted faces, together with Zelda, King Rauru, Queen Sonia, Mineru, Ganondorf, and the traditional sage ancestors of the brand new Champions. The trailer gave us a short glimpse into a number of the fight, together with King Rauru throwing a halberd like a boomerang to wipe out hordes of enemies, in addition to Zelda utilizing a weapon to take down a Lynel.

Conspicuously absent from the footage was Hyperlink. Granted, Zelda will get thrown again in time originally of Tears of the Kingdom, which allows her to participate within the occasions of the Imprisoning Battle. So it could make sense that we wouldn’t see Hyperlink as a playable character, provided that he didn’t return in time. However nonetheless, as the primary protagonist of each the Zelda and Hyrule Warriors sequence, it does appear a bit of odd to not see Hyperlink and has us questioning if he’ll be absent as a playable character fully.

Whereas no definitive launch date has been given, the tip of the trailer mentioned that Age of Imprisonment will probably be releasing on Change 2 this winter.
