Age of Switch.
Much like Mario Kart World, which was previously revealed during a developer interview that the Nintendo Switch 2 launch title, was originally in development for the Nintendo Switch, the same can now be said for Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment.
During an interview with Famitsu, Yosuke Hayashi, Koei Tecmo’s studio head for AAA Studio, revealed Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment began development as Nintendo Switch game before later becoming a Nintendo Switch 2 title and benefitting for it. Yosuke Hayashi’s comments in full can be seen here:
“When this project first started, we were developing it as a Nintendo Switch game for a while. We changed it to Nintendo Switch 2 midway through, and just by transferring what we had been creating up until then to Nintendo Switch 2, the number of enemies that appeared and the frame rate changed dramatically, and the game simply became a lot more fun. We were also surprised at how much the game’s fun could change thanks to the hardware.”
Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment launches exclusively on the Nintendo Switch 2 sometime this winter.
