Fans of The Legend of Zelda won’t have to hold out much longer before they can revisit the realm of Tears of the Kingdom. During the September Nintendo Direct presentation, it was revealed that Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment will be released on November 6, exclusively for the Nintendo Switch 2. Pre-orders for Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment are now available at major retailers. Similar to most games published by Nintendo for the Switch 2, Age of Imprisonment carries a price tag of $70.

Now, fans will have the opportunity to experience this pivotal time period firsthand. Characters like Zelda, King Rauru, Mineru, and other Sages are playable, along with a unique addition – you can play as a Korok.
