However, the latest reveal of a shocking delay, till Spring 2023, will surely make the Nintendo gamers disappointed. Because they were hoping for it to arrive at some point in this year itself.

Eiji Aonuma, the series producer, shared the reasons why the team has decided to take a long time for the Zelda 2‘s launch. Here’s what he said in the newly released message:

“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”.

So there you have it, the game is not coming in this year, at all, according to Nintendo itself. That’s definitely a very unfortunate news for all the fanboys, but it’s good for the title’s development. Hopefully, all the players will eventually get the Zelda 2 they deserve, which will be flawless and amazing to say the least.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2 is still in development and will make its way in Spring 2023.

What are your thoughts on this latest delay announcement? Were you expecting any such update and especially in the last week of March?

Are you still hyped enough for the second entry in the iconic, open world franchise?
