Four days from launch, that already makes Age of Calamity the best-selling Warriors game ever, according to Famitsu. Other crossover Warriors games have broken the 1 million mark in the past, but have often taken several weeks, if not months, to get there.

In the UK alone, Age of Calamity’s launch sales were 324% greater than the original Hyrule Warriors, according to a GamesIndustry.biz report. That game took over 4 months to cross the 1 million mark worldwide.

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity was released globally on November 20th for the Nintendo Switch. It serves as a prequel of sorts to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, which has sold over 21 million units globally and is the highest-selling Zelda game to date.
