We might still say “Happy New Year” to everyone we meet, but now that we’ve entered January, and as we survey the lineup of upcoming games for the Switch, we have to say it’s on the way. search especially delicious. However, as great as Pokémon and Kirby shaping, it The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2 that will likely save Switch owners a tear over the next 365 days of gaming. That’s right, 2022 is the year we’ll be parachuting into one of the most anticipated sequels in video game history.
But it is? The game has been in development for almost 5 years now, and Nintendo has pegged the ‘2022’ release window in the final trailer. back to E3 2021, but how confident are we that BOTW2 – as we still call it – will actually See the light of day this year?
Opinions here at Team NL are split. Some of us think it’s a dying condition for a hot November launch to clean up during the holiday season, and we certainly would love to be able to take part in a new Zelda adventure during the holiday season. holiday. Even with current global difficulties, Nintendo won’t announce a date without feeling confident it can deliver.
Then again, we could also see the game slide into 2023 – specifically the first three months falling into Nintendo’s fiscal year. If the production issues aren’t as they are, you can also put money into the game that launches with the new Switch SKU, but given the supply strain in the industry right now, that’s certainly less likely. .
It’s hard to speculate since we know so little about the game. BOTW 2, on the other hand, is building the world, characters, and – presumably – the game engine of its predecessor. Otherwise, the glimpses we’ve seen so far of this sequel suggest a mechanically ambitious title could easily consume months of extra development at the best of times, let alone in a pandemic that inevitably affects the development of the timetable.
But what your Gut feeling about this one? Do we really go back to Hyrule in calendar 2022, do you see this one running out of stamina and sliding down the hill ready to recharge for its 2023 launch? Let us know in the poll below and please elaborate in the comments:
