Put into perspective, Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity‘s sales put it in the company of some major Switch titles. Fire Emblem: Three Houses, which launched in July 2019 and was co-developed by Koei Tecmo and Intelligent Systems, passed the 3 million unit milestone in November 2020. It also puts it ahead ofĀ Fire Emblem Warriors, which sold more than 1 million units. In fact Hyrule Warriors: Age of CalamityĀ has already pulled ahead of all otherĀ Warriors (a.k.a. “Musou”) franchise titles, becoming the best-selling single Warriors game ever.

Age ofĀ Calamity may have also benefitted from its connection toĀ The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.Ā Unlike the previous title, Age of Calamity’s story takes place during the Great Calamity, the event that sets the stage for Hyrule in Breath of the Wild.

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity is available for Nintendo Switch. The game’s latest expansion, Guardian of Remembrance, launched in October 2021.
