First Free Update for Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment Lands November 27

The first of two planned patches expands endgame options on Switch 2 with new challenges, weapons, Sync Strikes plus quality-of-life fixes.

Overview

  • Nintendo confirmed the free Version 1.0.2 update will release on November 27, with details outlined on its social channels and the Japanese site.
  • Post-game content grows with multiple Battle Challenges and Hyrule Challenges that introduce new “Dangerous Species” enemies and yield stronger upgrade materials.
  • Two named weapons — the Greatsword of Light and the Spear of the Upper Guard — can be earned in the added battles and equipped by multiple characters, including the construct.
  • Combat additions include a Zelda–Calamo Sync Strike that boosts damage with well‑timed boomerang catches and a Block Golem team attack that floors weak foes and lowers strong enemies’ weak‑point gauges.
  • Functional improvements and fixes reported from the Japanese notes include map tutorials and reclaimable‑area previews, recovery amount previews for items, and expanded Training Room options, with full English patch notes still to come.
