Nintendo Co. has said its highly anticipated next game in the Zelda franchise, a sequel to Breath of the Wild, will be out in 2022.
The company didn¡¯t share a final title or many other details, although a brief trailer showcased the game¡¯s hero, Link, using abilities that weren¡¯t in the first game. Series producer Eiji Aonuma said the sequel would take place in the skies above the first game¡¯s world.
In a pre-recorded presentation Tuesday as part of the E3 video game showcase, Nintendo didn¡¯t mention the rumored upgraded version of the Switch, which is expected to be released later this year. The Japanese company plans to introduce a new model with a 7-inch OLED display and a faster graphics chip, Bloomberg previously reported.
Nintendo¡¯s promotional video was full of fan-pleasing announcements such as Metroid Dread and WarioWare Get It Together, both coming out on Switch this fall. The company also showcased role-playing game Shin Megami Tensei V and said the beloved, niche novel collection Danganronpa, which is available on other platforms, would be coming to Switch.
