by

A new update has been released for Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment, adding extra content for players after completing the main story. This latest installment in the Legend of Zelda spin-off series, developed by the creators of Dynasty Warriors, takes place during a pivotal war in the franchise’s history. Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment tells the story of Zelda leading up to the events of Tears of the Kingdom. Players can battle as Zelda, the Sages of Hyrule, and even a playable Korok!

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment is receiving positive feedback from both fans and critics. Players are especially enjoying the improved gameplay and the addition of new features like Zonai Devices, which add a fresh twist to the familiar Warriors style. The game is also being praised for expanding on the story of Tears of the Kingdom, letting players experience the war that’s often mentioned in that game. Now, a new update is available, giving players even more content to enjoy after finishing the main story.

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment Launches November Update

Okay, so Nintendo just dropped all the details for the big free update coming to Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment in November 2025, and it sounds awesome! Basically, they’re adding a bunch of new challenges and quests once you finish the main story – including three completely new battles to play. They’ve also thrown in two new, super tough enemies – Vicious Bokoblins and Sludge Likes – that have unique attacks and drop special materials. And the best part? You can earn two new weapons – the Longsword of Light and the High Guard’s Spear – just by completing these new battles. I can’t wait to jump back in!

The November update for Age of Imprisonment brought several additions, including new weapons, battles, and team-up attacks called Sync Strikes. Zelda and Calamo now have a new Sync Strike available by completing one of the new battles, and Flux Constructs are getting their own, featuring special Spin Attacks that gradually deplete the health of tougher enemies. Beyond these additions, the update also includes various fixes and improvements, such as warning sounds for certain skills like “Power Surge” and helpful new tutorials.

Is Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment DLC Coming?

With the first update for Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment now available, fans are eager to know what other content might be added to the game. While Koei Tecmo and Nintendo haven’t announced any major downloadable content (DLC) yet, previous Hyrule Warriors games suggest they may have plans for more. The original Hyrule Warriors received several DLC packs that introduced new characters like Twili Midna, Young Link, and Marin. The follow-up, Age of Calamity, even had a full Expansion Pass with new characters, missions, and story content.

Although Nintendo and Koei Tecmo haven’t officially announced anything, players can probably expect new downloadable content for Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment. This DLC will likely add new characters and expand the game’s story, potentially continuing the narrative after the Imprisoning War. The recent update already added more missions to enjoy after finishing the main game, and the new content promises even more of the fast-paced action that fans love.
