Breath of the Wild 2 Release Date and News | Zelda: Breath of the Wild (BotW)

This page will show you all news about the upcoming game Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2 (BotW 2). Read on for the BotW 2 release date, trailers, and other information regarding this much anticipated sequel.

BotW 2 - All News & Information

Since E3 2020 has been cancelled, expected news or updates about Breath of the Wild 2 are currently unknown. The only thing we know so far is that the game is currently under development. Stay tuned for the latest news and information!

Breath of the Wild 2 Release Date

It was only announced last year on Nintendo Direct E3 2019 that the sequel is now under development. But sadly, they didn't announce any date for when it would be released. We are currrently expecting the game to be released sometime in late 2021 or early 2022.

About the game

Based on the interview about the first Breath of the Wild, the developers had a lot of ideas for the DLCs. And thus, they decided to create another game and put all of their DLC ideas into that game. We can expect a new story, gameplay features, and adjustments in the upcoming game.

What to Expect in BotW 2

Link & Zelda Gameplay

Although there is no official news about this, there's a chance that Zelda will be a playable character in this sequel. We can also expect that there will be a character collaboration between Link and Zelda, especially when solving new entire puzzles or defeating enemies.

New Bosses

As we can see in the latest trailer of BotW 2, there is a carcass body that has been sealed underground with a blue-colored Hand. Could it be Ganon's Revival? Or is it a new disaster that will bring misfortune and destruction throughout all of Hyrule?

New Explorable Areas

In the trailer, Link and Zelda are exploring an underground ruin or a temple. We can assume that there would be a lot of underworld exploration, including (but not limited to) new missions and side quests.

Also, before the end of the video, there is some sort of Castle arising from the ground. It is possible that this could be an area for the last stage, where the final boss rests.

New Mountable Animals

As Link and Zelda explore the underground ruin, they have a companion with them that seems to be a mountable animal. It might be possible to tame and use them as transport in the sequel, much like horses in the first!

Official Video Trailer

As of this moment, there is only 1 trailer (teaser) available for BotW 2. This covers a whole new mystery hidden somewhere in Hyrule.
