Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment gets first content update this week, full details

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment hasn’t been out for very long, but the first content update has been confirmed for this week. The patch will begin distribution on November 27, 2025.

Players will be able to  take on fearsome enemies to earn additional in-game rewards including two new weapons. There’ll also be a new Sync Strike for Zelda and Calamo and more.

Here’s some additional information:

Adding new challenges

After clearing the main story, multiple “Battle Challenges” and “Hyrule Challenges” will be added.
New “Dangerous Species” such as Bokoblins and Sludgelikes will appear. “Scra Attacks” such as “Boko Slash,” which can be activated using materials obtained from “Dangerous Bokoblins,” are significantly more powerful than previous materials.

New weapons added

The new weapons include the “Greatsword of Light,” a special greatsword blessed with the power of light by Rauru, and the “Spear of the Upper Guard,” a spear issued to the elite under the direct command of the King of Hyrule. These new weapons can be equipped by the mysterious golem and warriors of various races.

You can obtain it by clearing the battles added in this update.

New exclusive Sync Strike

Zelda and Calamo will each have their own Sync Strike. Calamo will throw a boomerang, which Zelda will use the power of time to return and launch a follow-up attack. If you press [X] at the right time, you’ll successfully catch the boomerang, making the attack even more powerful.

You can learn it by completing the Hyrule Challenges added in this update.

Fighting alongside Block Golem

You can now perform a Sync Strike with the Block Golem, a powerful spinning attack that will knock down weak enemies and reduce the weak point gauge of stronger enemies.

In addition to the battles added in this update, it can also be activated in existing battles featuring Block Golems.

And here are some screenshots from the update:
