Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Calamity Surpasses 4 Million Units Shipped

While the Musou Genre is long-established with many entries, it remains relatively rare in the larger scheme of things. 

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is a different story. Omega Force revealed this (on). TwitterIt was revealed that Hyrule Warriors Age of Calamity’s Zelda musou, Hyrule Warriors, had shipped over 4 million units in the four years since its November 2020 release. Of course, “shipped” is very different than “sold,” as this new statistic doesn’t necessarily indicate 4 million people have purchased the game, but manufacturers aren’t going to ship a game to storefronts when said storefronts have plenty in stock. 

So while Age of Calamity hasn’t sold 4 million units, it has likely sold millions, which must be exciting for Omega Force. To make the project a success, the team needed to accomplish a lot of things. Creating a prequel for Breath of the Wild is a difficult task. Omega Force went one step further by creating an Age of Calamity expansion pass that added controllable guardians and new weapons to the story. They also created a motorcycle-able bike for in-game use. These expansions also brought a new “Apocalyptic” difficulty to the musou as well as new challenges in the Royal Ancient Lab, new enemies, and more.
