The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild’s Sequel Will Be Out on May 12, 2023

During the recent Nintendo Direct live stream, the company revealed the name and the launch date of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild’s sequel. The game is titled The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and it will be out on May 12, 2023, exclusively for Nintendo Switch.

At the end of the live stream, the developers presented a short teaser of the upcoming title in which they showcased a few gameplay shots and a logo. A new trailer didn't show a lot of specifics about what we can expect from the new title. However, according to Nintendo's press release, in addition to the vast lands of Hyrule, the new entry in the Legend of Zelda series will "take you up into the skies and an expanded world that goes beyond that."

Besides, judging by the trailer, many of the skills from Breath of the Wild have remained and evolved in Tears of the Kingdom. The new installment seems to add new skills too, with one of them apparently being the ability to partially rewind time.

The sequel to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild was announced back in 2019 during E3. Initially, the title was supposed to be released this year, however, earlier, it was delayed to the spring of 2023. At the time, the developers stated that they needed some extra time to "make this game’s experience something special."
