Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonmentis coming soon!
This new instalment in theHyrule Warriorsseries is set to be an absolute thrill forZeldafans.
Players will get to uncover the origins of some of Hyrule’s most legendary figures.
It sets the stage for the events that lead to the chaos we know fromBreath of the Wild.
Here is everything we know about the game so far.
The story throws players into Hyrules ancient past.
Now, heres the best part.
This game isnt just about diving into Hyrules past.
Its also closely tied to the events ofTears of the KingdomandBreath of the Wild.
The timeline placement ofAge of Imprisonment meansits perfectly situated to expand on TOTKs lore.
Additionally, the game introduces a new villain with ties to Hyrules forgotten past.
What makes this game super exciting is how it ties everything together.
Players will be hacking their way through mobs of enemies, performing combos, and taking down massive bosses.
But theres more to it than that.
One fabulous addition to the gameplay is the Elemental Spirits system.
Depending on the character you’re playing, youll harness different elemental powers.
This makes each character feel distinct and makes the fight more strategic.
The idea is to give you more ways to be strategic as you fight through the games stages.
In addition, theres a co-op mode.
That means players can team up with friends, either locally or online.
Its a fun way to share the experience and creatively combine your character abilities.
Theres a heavy focus on the games visuals, aiming to capture the magic ofZeldawhile delivering a fresh experience.
The weather effects, like rain and lightning, really make the battles feel dynamic.
The soundtrack also features a mix of new music and familiarZeldatunes, which will definitely get fans excited.
Furthermore, the developers have also put extra effort into the AI.
Notably, enemy soldiers are smarter, and boss battles are more interesting.
You get to see Link and Zelda in action, plus glimpses of new heroes with powerful abilities.
The game is set to launch this winter.
