Overview
- Koei Tecmo will release the second free update for Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment worldwide on December 18, 2025.
- Phantom Mode can trigger on cleared battles, adding random Dangerous Species or Miasma Enemies with a chance for Phantom Ganon and yielding increased high‑purity Zonaite/Zonanium steel.
- A new highest setting called Taboo raises the challenge beyond Very Hard and grants rewards such as more high‑purity steel and a larger carry limit for Special Food.
- The update adds the one‑handed Forbidden Sword and new unique skills for the Mysterious Golem/Construct, including the Shield Charge counter for the one‑handed style.
- Players get new Battle and Hyrule Challenges, Lizalfos and Chuchu appear as new dangerous species, and a Sky Island Training Hall enables Sync Strikes with two other players.
