Nintendo has officially delayed the release ofThe Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2for Nintendo Switch.
In a new video (originally posted toTwitter), Zelda series producer Eiji Aonuma confirmed that the highly anticipated game will now not arrive until Spring 2023. He did, however, provide a couple more teases, saying that Breath of the Wild 2 will have a “wider variety of features”, “new encounters” and “new gameplay elements”.
Nintendo has decided to push Breath of the Wild 2 back in an attempt to make the game “something special”. While disappointing, it’s not entirely that big of a surprise considering the Switch maker was only “aiming” for 2022. I can personally see a late March release date being revealed to coincide with the same month that the original game launched.
“I have an update to share on the launch timing of the sequel to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild,” said Aonuma.
“We previously announced that we were aiming for a 2022 release for this game. However, we have decided to extend our development time a bit and change the release to Spring 2023. For those of you who have been looking forward to a release this year, we apologise.
“As previously announced, the adventure in this sequel will take place not just on the ground as in the previous game but also in the skies above. However, the expanded world goes beyond that, and there will be an even wider variety of features you can enjoy including new encounters and new gameplay elements,” he continued.

“In order to make the game’s experience something special, the entire development team is continuing to work diligently on this game, so please wait a while longer.”
While little new footage was shown, we did get a brief glimpse of Link and the Master Sword’s new design. It’s pretty cool and a nice little teaser.
