Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Imprisonment launches next week and the game’s file-size has now been revealed. You are going to need some space on your system or SD card as the game is a whopping 44GB. That’s four times the size of the last game in the series Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity. Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Imprisonment launches on Thursday, 6th November.
Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment file size revealed as 44GB
Glad I’m getting physical then
I wouldn’t shame yourself by telling people that
Considering Tears of the kingdom is only 16-20 GB, this either has to be terribly optimized or has a lot going on inside. My vote is to the former
It’s a Koei Tecmo game, so yeah that adds up
TotK is a Switch game, and an awful one at that and the Switch 2 upgrade is only 3.5gb. We’ve also seen gameplay for AoI, and it’s buttery smooth unlike AoC. KT generally do an amazing job with optimization
If a Game like this is that Size, how can we expect 1st Party Nintendo Games like future 3D Zelda to fit on a physical cartridge. Remember, World, Bananza, and Prime 4 all started out as Original Switch games, nor Switch 2. They need Larger Cartridges. Asking many modern games to fit under 64GB is insane.
To be fair this is not mainline Nintendo so they likely didn’t compress the file down as much as they could but yeah higher quality textures are gonna be problem even for first party title if not this Gen then next
Mario Kart World sits at 21.9gb. TotK was 16.5gb before the S2 upgrade at 3.5gb. I’m fairly confident game files will remain very similar. DKB is under 10gb due to amazing optimization and if you recall the devs stating the game we have today isn’t physically possible on Switch, and for what’s going on under the hood it’s utterly amazing. I could very easily see the next Zelda title, which will thankfully be more traditional and not like the garbage TotK, coming in under 30gb.
To further add, they don’t need larger cartridges, ownership is the exact same no matter how you choose to buy. Just get digital. Larger cartridges means a higher cost for the consumer, and while gaming isn’t expensive at $70 or $80, nobody is advocating for higher prices.
I’m glad I bought the physical.
I wouldn’t be, nor would I brag about that
Wasn’t the idea behind giving Switch 2 256 gigs allowing for more space for digital games? That’s roughly a fifth of the internal storage right there.
Whatever. Anything I need to see of the game I can watch on YouTube after release- I’m not keen on the idea of getting lied to and burned again with a bait-and-switch plot like AoC did.
“Age of Calamity will show the events that lead into BotW!” “This game is canon to BotW!” You mean those burns? Ayup. I’m with you on that.
