Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity announced, taking place100 years before Breath of the Wild (releases November 20th, 2020)

Well there goes my last hope of having BotW2 as a holiday game this year. This does look very cool and it'll be my first Warriors game ever. I do hope there's something actually developed by Nintendo for the November/December slot.



Signature goes here!

You son of a bitch.

I'm in.



And there's another random game just announced with no direct like Paper Mario was.

A new Hyrule Warriors is a good idea considering how popular the first 1 turned out to be. It will be interesting to see how the BOTW engine holds up to Warriors-style gameplay with hundred of characters on screen. It'll also be interesting to see how much of the BOTW formula is brought over. The first game and Fire Emblem Warriors did pretty good jobs in terms of using their source series to give the games enough of a twist to stand out from the usual Dynasty Warriors fare.

And we're looking at a Halo Reach/Torna Country situation since the ending is already known.



Loving the art style so far, pretty hyped for this overall and will be pre-ordering ASAP. Nintendo just went from 0 to 60 in the past week with the 3D All-Stars and this game, along with Animal Crossing and the evergreen library the Switch already has they will continue to fly of shelves. I think people are going to be surprised with the overall sales performance of this game, BotW has made the Zelda series even bigger than it already was (it has outsold Odyssey...).



Nintendo with the Switch:

Huh, i almost started a theory thread about how alot of "debunked" leaks were actually true. B4 odyssey released a leaker claimed there was a new game coming where bowser was the main character. Then when odyssey released it turns out u played as bowser for a while. Memba how a leaker claimed in botw2 u were gonna play as zelda. Bet u they were unknowingly referencing this game.

So a prequel to Breath of the Wild, that's cool. Maybe we can finally walk through Castle Town.

However, is this digital only? That would, to say the least, s*ck.

Dont see why it wouldnt be a retail release. Its 60 bucks after all.

It isn't. Just has a preorder bonus on the digital edition but that is only timed.

Signalstar said:

No. What gave you that idea?

Nintendo even state that the digital bonus item would not be immediately available to owners of the packaged game.

Yeah I was confused by the Digital Bonus, and I also only saw an eShop price on the Nintendo site, but on second thought I guess that makes sense, and missed the rest. Thanks.



This looks like a lot of fun!! Damn, I am finally going to buy a game kind of “made” by Nintendo this year. I am happy!!



happy about this but not into warriors games so will skip this :P



    R.I.P Mr Iwata :'(

The most interesting quote from the video is: "This will be the only game that lets you experience the world 100 years prior". That could mean, that Breath of the Wild 2 is not a prequel, which I have expected.
