Everything announced at Tuesday’s Nintendo Direct
polygon.comAhead of PokémonScarlet and Violet in November and The Legend of Zelda: The Breath of the Wild 2 in 2023, Nintendo held a Nintendo Direct broadcast Tuesday to round out its slate of upcoming games. The 40-minute livestream focused largely on Nintendo’s winter games lineup, but also revealed the official name of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild’s sequel: The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
The September livestream began at 10 a.m. EST, though Nintendo’s U.K.-based YouTube channel did not livestream the event “as a mark of respect during this period of national mourning” following U.K. monarch Queen Elizabeth II’s death. Instead, the whole video was published on Nintendo’s U.K. YouTube channel after the event.
