Naturally, “Breath of the Wild 2” started popping up on social media, so enough with that nonsense. Here is the most salient point: we’re not getting a new Zelda, or Metroid, or anything like that. This is a “mini-direct” focused on Nintendo’s partners, so don’t go looking for first-party heavy hitters or major exclusive fall releases. Could there be a surprise at the end? I’d be remiss to dismiss the possibility out of hand. However, it doesn’t seem very likely.
Given that the focus here is on partners, there’s a pretty gigantic range of what we might see, so it doesn’t do much to speculate. If we’re looking at the wide breadth of potential third-party games, however, the one I will choose to get my hopes up for is Hollow Knight: Silksong, which just might be my most-anticipated title in the whole of the the industry at this moment. So that would be great! I’m not exactly betting on it, however.
We assume that COVID-19 threw a major wrench in Nintendo’s plans to both announce and develop games, because basically no workflow in the entire world has been left untouched by the pandemic that has re-written life over the past few months. Hopefully things are getting back on track to at least some degree, and we’ll hear more about Nintendo’s fall releases soon. Check back at 10:00 AM eastern for more information on these third-party games.
