Nintendo is delaying The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild sequel

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2 is still coming but not until spring of 2023. Nintendo announced the delay in a special message on YouTube this morning. Series producer Eiji Aonuma, sporting a fresh haircut, explained that the game needs more time.

“We previously announced that we were aiming for a 2022 release for this game,” Aonuma said. “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 apologize.”
