Not long to wait.
With KOEI TECMO previously confirming free updates are in the works for Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment, Nintendo has confirmed the first will be available on November 27, 2025, as part of a ver. 1.0.2 update. In addition to sharing four photos depicting the new content, it has been revealed that two weapons, the Greatsword of Light and Spear of the Upper Guard, will be added, in addition to Battle Challenges and Hyrule Challenges. New vicious monsters will also be added, with a battle against Rauru being added, but there will also be a new Sync Strike between Zelda and Calamo added, and also Sync Strikes with Flux Constructs.
Lastly, the update will also feature some bug fixes and other tweaks. For a look at the images we mentioned earlier, you can see them here:
About Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment:
Battle hordes of enemies in the untold story of the Imprisoning War – Fight the war for Ancient Hyrule! Step on to the battlefield as Princess Zelda, King Rauru, and other legendary heroes as you fight to reclaim your homeland—and live the story of Demon King Ganondorf’s invasion that was only briefly alluded to in The Legend of Zelda™: Tears of the Kingdom game.
Fight alongside new and familiar heroes to defend Hyrule from the Demon King: Princess Zelda is not alone in this war! Join Mineru, the Sages, and even some brand-new heroes in battles against Ganondorf’s forces. Combine powerful Zonai Devices with your heroes’ signature abilities to take down powerful bosses and their legions of minions.
Team up with a friend in two-player local co-op via split screen or GameShare: Join up with a friend for two-player local co-op, and you can spread out to cover more ground as the war unfolds—or stick together and combine your powers to smash the opposition. Play split-screen on a single system, or on two separate systems via GameShare*—either way, only one person needs to have the game.
Tap any The Legend of Zelda series amiibo™ for extra items: Scan any The Legend of Zelda series amiibo figure** to get in-game rewards including crafting materials and other items that you might find helpful in your quest to defeat the Demon King!
Use save data from Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity or The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom to get additional weapons: If you have save data from the Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity game on your system when you play, you’ll receive a High Guard’s Claymore. If you have save data from the Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom game, you receive a High Guard’s Sword. These weapons can be redeemed after returning to the Hyrule map upon completion of The Howling Tempests mission.
