Even after the recent Mario Direct event last week, Nintendo didn’t reveal any games coming out in the later half of the holiday season. Well, Nintendo has completed that portion of its release schedule now with a new Zelda game. Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity is a new Musou-style game from developer Koei Tecmo. Like the Hyrule Warriors before it, bring the one-on-thousands of Dynasty Warriors combat to a Zelda stage. But this time, the game tells of the events that led up to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity launches November 20 for Nintendo Switch. This comes out after September’s Super Mario 3D World and October’s Pikmin 3 Deluxe. It’s also another example of Nintendo’s efforts to release a new Zelda game annually.
The subtitle “Age of Calamity” refers to the Great Calamity that led to the rise of the evil Ganon. It takes place 100 years before Breath of the Wild. This means that players will be able to see what happened to Zelda, Link, and the King of Hyrule before the start of one of the best Switch games.
But since this is a Musou game, you won’t just play as Link. You will also have the opportunity to take control of Urbosa, Daruk, Mipha and Revali. These are the Champions of Hyrule, and you can catch them in action in the reveal trailer for Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity.
The trailer doesn’t show a playable Zelda, but it was an option in the original Hyrule Warriors.
At the end of its reveal trailer, Nintendo said it would provide the next update for Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity on September 26.
