Hyrule Warriors Age of Imprisonment Getting Another Free Update Soon

More free stuff? We're game!
By Todd BlackDecember 16, 2025
Hyrule Warriors Age of Imprisonment, Tokyo Game Show

It’s crazy to think that it’s been well over a month since Hyrule Warriors Age of Imprisonment was launched on Nintendo Switch 2. I had a lot of fun with that game, as noted in my review, and another joy I’ve taken from it is how Koei Tecmo is ensuring that the game has plenty of new content to enjoy post-launch. Specifically, the game has already had a free content update earlier, and now, the team announced that another free content update will drop on Thursday! The update will bring many new things to bear, including “Phantom Mode:

“Phantom Mode” is a new feature that randomly occurs in battles that have already been cleared.
In battles where “Phantom Mode” occurs, some of the enemies that appear will change into “Dangerous Species” or “Miasma Enemies,” and there is a chance that “Phantom Ganon” will appear when a strong enemy is defeated.”

As if that’s not enough, a new difficulty mode will be brought to bear. It’ll be known as “Taboo,” and things will be far more difficult here than in other modes. However, you’ll also get the chance to get special items and materials, so it might be worth it to you.

New challenges, skills, and weapons will also be available. So, if you’ve been wanting to dive into Hyrule Warriors Age of Imprisonment again, wait until Thursday for the next update to drop and see where the game takes you!
