Peer Schneider - Zelda: Breath of Wild 2 still on track for next year | Nintendo Switch News | NintendoReporters

 [![Peer Schneider – Zelda: Breath of Wild 2 still on track for next year](https://www.nintendoreporters.com/storage/files/peer-schneider-zelda-breath-of-wild-2-still-on-track-for-next-year-mfrh-original.jpg "Peer Schneider – Zelda: Breath of Wild 2 still on track for next year")](https://www.nintendoreporters.com/storage/files/peer-schneider-zelda-breath-of-wild-2-still-on-track-for-next-year-mfrh-original.jpg)Information concerning The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2 is still sparse. Nintendo’s schedule has the game scheduled for a 2022 release, but the company hasn’t spoken or shown any footage of the game for some time now, leading some to believe it could end up being a 2023 game.

**IGN** boss was present during The Game Awards and spoke to a number of contacts who informed him that the game is still on track for release next year and seems to be penciled in for a November release.

## [](#igns-peer-schneider)IGN’s Peer Schneider

After attending The Game Awards 2021 and was able to catch up with “some people in the industry,” who apparently assured him that, despite being a no show at the awards show, Breath of the Wild 2 is still on track for a 2022 release.

> It does sound like Nintendo is going to have a pretty good year next year. So, I would not take the absence of big stuff \[at The Game Awards\] as a sign that maybe Breath of the Wild is delayed or that they don’t have other stuff, because it sounds like… people at Nintendo are very excited about 2022.

> Later on in the podcast, Schneider seems to let slip a more specific release window than 2022, suggesting we’ll be playing Breath of the Wild 2 in November of next year.
