Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment Launches on Switch 2 With Day-One Patch and Free Updates Teased

The musou prequel expands Tears of the Kingdom’s lore with Zonai devices, fusion mechanics and co‑op play.

Overview

  • Age of Imprisonment released November 6 exclusively for Nintendo Switch 2, developed by Koei Tecmo’s AAA Games Studio and published by Nintendo.
  • Launch Update Ver. 1.0.1 fixes split-screen progression issues, a GameShare battle-start bug and a ‘Temporal Counter’ quit crash, and adds a Y‑button shortcut to Aside Quests on the map.
  • The official Zelda Musou account says two free updates are planned, with timing and content details yet to be announced.
  • Reviews and guides highlight adapted Tears of the Kingdom systems — Zonai devices, weapon fusion, cooking and sync strikes — alongside critiques of busy map icons and repetitive side-tasking.
  • Coverage notes a large, unlockable roster with some characters limited to fixed weapons, that Sonia features but is not playable, and that save data from Tears of the Kingdom or Age of Calamity unlocks bonus High Guard weapons.
