Hyrule Warriors to be Released in Japan This Summer

Although we have no North American or European release date for Hyrule Warriors as of yet, its Japanese publisher, Tecmo Koei, has confirmed in their financial report that Hyrule Warriors will be released in Japan this Summer. Tecmo Koei released this news instead of Nintendo because Nintendo is only handling the publishing of Hyrule Warriors in the Western market. As for what that means for the rest of the world, we know that the game is near or even at completion; so with E3 right around the corner, there a very strong possibility for a solid release date for other countries!

For those who aren’t aware, earlier this year we got a teaser for a Dynasty Warriors-styled Zeldagame on Wii U tentatively titled Hyrule Warriors, or Zelda-musou in Japan. As far as we know now, you control a blue scarf wearing Link as he slays swarm after swarm of Bokoblins alongside Hylian Knights, and occasionally faces off against boss enemies like King Dodongo. It seems there will also be different items to pick up in every stage such as Bombs, potions, and even the Fire Rod. While these aspects are nothing new in a Dynasty Warriors styled game, the Zelda series may inspire some new elements to the Dynasty Warriors formula. All we can do now is wait and see if that is indeed the case.
