Rumour: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of The Wild 2
- The sequel to Nintendo’s The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is a highly anticipated title, ever since it was teased at E3 2019.
- However, since then there haven’t been any updates or news since the teaser. But now a leak may have sprung, as an Austrian retailer could have just shared the release window for Breath of the Wild 2.
- The retailer in question is Gameware, which had listed The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2 to be releasing sometime between April and June. The leak was first seen on Reddit, which listed the game to be “coming out in the 2nd quarter of 2021.”
- This could be an error on the retailer’s site or a placement listing as there hasn’t been any news about the game for some time from Nintendo. This is also a smaller retailer so we’ll have to take this with a grain of salt.
- What do you think of this supposed leak? Let us know in the comments below.
