Fire Emblem Engage would then be followed by Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon. This would be a spin-off and a prequel to this popular hack and Slash game series. The game would bring a whole new Okamiden-like flavor to Bayonetta fans and is genuinely looking pretty stunning.

Then Zelda fans would finally see what came after Breath of the Wild ending. Tears of the Kingdom is a direct sequel to Breath of the Wild and would be releasing May 12, 2023. And if that’s not enough, the game would also bring with it a brand new special limited edition of the Switch OLED model.

Aside from these confirmed titles, there would be two DLCs releasing for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet and Indie games like Blasphemous 2 and Hollow Knight Silk song.
