Now, Nintendo says the Direct will “mainly focus” on Switch games launching in the first half of the year. That means we should hear about at least one title coming out beyond that. That could mean info on the Breath of the Wild sequel or confirmation of rumored projects like Xenoblade Chronicles 3.

Who knows, maybe we’ll even finally see more of Hollow Knight: Silksong.
