Nintendo Co. said its highly anticipated next game in the Zelda franchise, a sequel to Breath of the Wild, will be out in 2022.
The company didn’t share a final title or many other details, although a brief trailer showcased the game’s hero, Link, using abilities that weren’t in the first game. Series producer Eiji Aonuma said the sequel would take place in the skies above the first game’s world.
