Breath of the Wild 2 will officially release in 2023. Not only that, we finally know what it’s called – Tears of the Kingdom. So far, we’ve seen a couple of trailers, some gameplay, and heard a lot of comments and tests from game developers. By all accounts, it looks like it’s based on the original while trying out some new ideas.
Tears of the Kingdom is a sequel to 2017’s The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, so for obvious reasons, it has a huge amount of potential. As the biggest game on the Nintendo Switch and still widely regarded as one of the best Switch games ever – which is quite a feat considering there’s no shortage of great Switch games – Breath of the Wild has truly set the bar very high.
Time manipulation, skydiving, and brand new combat systems are all on the cards. The trailers released so far show a game that’s more vertical than its predecessor, though there’s certainly a lot we don’t know yet.
Here’s everything you need to know about The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, including trailers and all the latest news and rumors.

Thanks to a Nintendo Direct presentation in September 2022, we learned that The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom will release on May 12, 2023. Unsurprisingly, the first Nintendo game will be exclusive to the Nintendo Switch family of consoles.
We originally thought Tears of the Kingdom would release sometime in 2022, but in March of that year, Nintendo pushed the date back to 2023, with series producer Eiji Aonuma telling fans that it was out of a desire to “spread the time a bit.” development”.
