Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity fills in Nintendo’s holiday with Zelda

Even after the recent Mario Direct event last week, Nintendo didn’t have any games coming out in the back half of the holiday season. Well, Nintendo has filled in that part of its release schedule now with a new Zelda game. Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity is a new Musou-style game from developer Koei Tecmo. Like the previous Hyrule Warriors, it brings the one-vs.-thousands combat of Dynasty Warriors into a Zelda setting. But this time, the game is telling the events that led up to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity launches November 20 for Nintendo Switch. This puts it out after September’s Super Mario 3D All-Stars and October’s Pikmin 3 Deluxe. It is also another example of Nintendo’s efforts to release a new Zelda game every year.
