Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2 Update Teases New Gameplay Features
The latest update regarding the upcoming The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2 has teased new gameplay features and encounters, as well as showing a new version of the Master Sword that appears to be broken. The main purpose of this update was to confirm that BOTW 2 has been delayed to spring 2023 after it was previously meant to launch in 2022.
The sequel to Breath of the Wild was initially revealed during Nintendo's E3 2019, with a brief trailer that showed Link and Zelda encounter a horrific undead monster, and Hyrule Castle being sent into the sky. The game finally received a more in-depth trailer during E3 2021, showing Link using new abilities, including the power to travel to floating islands in the sky, which are reminiscent of the ones seen in Zelda: Skyward Sword. The trailer ended with the promise of a 2o22 release date, but that is not meant to be. It's possible that BOTW 2 might launch alongside the Nintendo Switch's rumored next iteration in 2023.

«As previously announced, 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, including new encounters and new gameplay elements.»
