Hyrule Warriors Age of Imprisonment

Nintendo’s latest Creator’s Voice video is out now, and it focuses on one of the bigger Switch 2 exclusives launching this year – Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment. As a follow-up to Omega Force’s Musou-style series, it follows Princess Zelda as she teams with King Rauru and the four masked Sages to fight in the Imprisonment War against Ganondorf.

Of course, players can also experience life in Hyrule during the period, per Koei Tecmo producer Ryota Matsushita. They’ll also learn more about the masked Sages and discover “many other secrets” hidden throughout.

Matsushita also noted the advantages of the Switch 2’s hardware, such as having numerous enemies on-screen, which “heavily contributes to the realism and excitement of the battlefield.” AAA Games studio head Yosuke Hayashi added that higher frame rates were possible compared to the original Switch, though they didn’t confirm whether that includes 120 FPS in handheld mode.

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment doesn’t have a release date, but it’s out this Winter. The Nintendo Switch 2 launches on June 5th for $449.99.
