Nintendo Adds New Free Content to Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment in Major Update

by

The newest Hyrule Warriors game, Age of Imprisonment, came out on November 6th. It features the same fast-paced combat as previous games, but with a key change: its story is now officially part of the Legend of Zelda universe. Many dedicated Zelda fans have probably already completed the main story, or even the whole game. Nintendo anticipated this and is keeping the game fresh with a new update.

So, Nintendo of America tweeted that the update is coming on November 27th, but their website is still a little vague on what’s actually in it. Luckily, the Japanese Koei Tecmo site has a much more detailed list of changes. And this isn’t just a small bug-fixing patch like the one we got at launch – the Age of Imprisonment update looks huge, with a ton of new content and improvements!

Patch Notes for the November 27th Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment Update

The “Age of Imprisonment” update will be released on November 27th. You should be asked to download it automatically, but if not, you can manually check for updates in the game settings. If you’re a fan of Hyrule Warriors, be sure to download this patch – it includes some great new content!

This update introduces new, more difficult challenges – Battle Challenges and Hyrule Challenges – that will test your skills. Defeating these tough opponents will reward you with better materials to upgrade your weapons. Plus, you’ll be able to earn two new weapons – the Great Sword of Light and the Spear of the Upper Guard – by completing these challenges. Both weapons are compatible with many characters in Age of Imprisonment.

Great news for fans! Zelda and Calamo will soon have their own unique Sync Strike move. Plus, Sync Strikes can now be triggered when battling Block Golems.

This update includes not only new content, but also several improvements to make the game more enjoyable. You can find a complete list of these improvements and bug fixes in the translated patch notes below.
