Koei Tecmo has confirmed<\/a> that Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment<\/a> has now surpassed 1 million copies sold<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This comes via key financial data (thanks, RPG Site<\/a>) in which Age of Imprisonment is listed with a note stating ‘Over 1 million copies sold worldwide’ when translated. Seems pretty clear to us!<\/p>\n

The game launched on 6th November 2025<\/strong> exclusively for the Switch 2 and tells the story of the Imprisoning War referenced in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom<\/a>. It still has a little ways to go to surpass Age of Calamity<\/a> on Switch at 4 million copies sold (at least!), but we have to keep in mind the much larger install base of the Switch compared to Switch 2.<\/p>\n

Overall, it’s a great start for the game, and it thoroughly deserves to see sustained success.<\/p>\n

Plans to make Age of Imprisonment came to fruition quickly<\/a> for Koei Tecmo and Nintendo, with producer Yosuke Hayashi pitching the idea after playing Tears of the Kingdom during the weekend immediately after launch.<\/p>\n

We gave the game a score of 9\/10 in our review<\/a> and called it the “best entry in this spin-off franchise to date”.<\/p>\n
