The first wave of reviews for Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment are now starting to come in. Nintendo just lifted an embargo on the Switch 2 game with the launch happening in just a couple of days.
Age of Imprisonment is the third entry in the Hyrule Warriors series, and the second one tied to the Zelda: Breath of the Wild / Tears of the Kingdom universe. This time around, players can experience the true story of Ganondorf’s invasion that was briefly shown in Tears of the Kingdom. Nintendo has previous said that the plot here is canonical.

According to a new report, USPTO Director John A. Squires has ordered a reexamination of U.S. Patent No. 12,403,397. Squires believes it’s necessary given two previous patents – one from Konami in 2002 and another actually coming from Nintendo in 2019 (published in 2020). Those prior art references “teaches a player being allowed to perform a battle in a manual mode and in a simpler, automatic mode.” Squires says it was “determined that substantial new questions of patentability have arisen”.
Astral Ascent is still trucking along, and Celestial Haven has now been revealed as the game’s next DLC. Nintendo Switch players will be able to access it in the near future.
The DLC features a cozy new area filled with adorable animals. All proceeds will be going directly to charity.
