Starting today, you can download a demo for Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, which includes the first chapter of the game. All of your progress will carry over to the main game when it is released on November 20.

The press release has some more information on what players can expect from the age of Calamity.

“Before the Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity game launches for Nintendo Switch on Nov. 20, fans will be able to try out a free demo for the game, available now in Nintendo eShop. The action-packed story is set in Hyrule 100 years before the events of the Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild game. The demo will let players experience the fast-paced action and dramatic cutscenes, which shed light on the events that led to the Great Calamity. During the Nintendo Direct Mini: Partner Showcase, it was revealed that the massive, screen-filling Divine Beasts will also be playable in the game. Using the over-the-top powers of the Divine Beasts will surely help players find victory when used in their respective stages.”

The demo is free to everyone, so be sure to check it out if you’re on the fence about picking it up! There has been plenty of information coming out about this game in the past couple of months. Be sure to check out all of our coverage of Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity.

If you haven’t played Breath of the Wild yet, it’s an easy recommendation, especially with the Age of Calamity so close to release. There’s never been a better time to be a Legend of Zelda fan!

Are you ready to see what happened 100 years before Breath of the Wild? Let us know if you’re going to be trying out the Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity Demo on the official prima Facebook and Twitter pages.
