Digital Foundry - Breath of the Wild 2 will be on current Nintendo Switch | Nintendo Switch News | NintendoReporters

 [![Digital Foundry – Breath of the Wild 2 will be on current Nintendo Switch](https://www.nintendoreporters.com/storage/files/digital-foundry-breath-of-the-wild-2-will-be-on-current-nintendo-switch.jpeg "Digital Foundry – Breath of the Wild 2 will be on current Nintendo Switch")](https://www.nintendoreporters.com/storage/files/digital-foundry-breath-of-the-wild-2-will-be-on-current-nintendo-switch.jpeg)We were earlier shown a little amount of new video from the long-awaited The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2, and it was noted that the graphics were possibly a touch too excellent for the regular Nintendo Switch hardware.

Implying that the footage came from an enhanced Switch such as the long-rumored Nintendo Switch Pro. Digital Foundry just released a video discussing different industry occurrences, and the team explicitly states that The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2 will work on the current Nintendo Switch hardware.

They believe, however, that it will be a cross-gen game for whatever Nintendo has planned in terms of hardware and their existing models.

## [](#digital-foundry-clarifies)Digital Foundry clarifies

Others assume we said that the game will not be released on Switch at all, which is plainly not the case – it has been announced! These tales are based on our discussion of Breath of the Wild 2 in DF Direct Weekly #55. Finally, the new clip demonstrated quality and effects that well above anything we’ve seen from any Switch game so far, even those from Nintendo’s first-party developers. Maybe it’ll be a cross-generation Nintendo game like the original? We’ll simply have to wait and see what happens.
