Comfortable Zelda launch day, everybody! I hope you all get pleasure from your time with the newest Nintendo title, and I’ll examine in with all of you subsequent week after we’ve all had an opportunity to bask in it over the weekend. And hopefully none of you bought spoiled by that leak that occurred final week. It feels that this complete week has been a holding sample, ready for Tears of the Kingdom to drop — however we’ve nonetheless had an attention-grabbing week anyway.
Nintendo and Digital Arts each posted their monetary earnings experiences this week. Whereas Digital Arts’ numbers look like steady — although not steady sufficient to spare layoffs earlier this 12 months — Nintendo’s Swap gross sales are slipping. If the report is something to go by, the corporate has anticipated this and has ready accordingly. I’ve the sensation we’re not going to see that oft-rumored Swap follow-up any time quickly.
Sadly, Hole Knight: Silksong has been delayed once more. Whereas it by no means had a agency launch date, plan gave the impression to be to launch it within the first half of this 12 months. That window of time is closing quick, so it seems the builders aren’t going to race to succeed in it. We’ve additionally heard a rumor that the following recreation within the Name of Obligation sequence is a remake of Fashionable Warfare 3 — a narrative which I’d be completely satisfied to expertise once more.
In private information, I simply managed to get my Lifeless Island 2 evaluate out earlier than Tears of the Kingdom dropped. Whereas I’ve loads of room in my coronary heart for different video games, I believe I’m going to dedicate myself to the brand new Zelda as a result of I get critical FOMO when a recreation as massive as this comes out. Aside from that, I’d attempt to squeeze out a while to play extra Jedi: Survivor, however I make no guarantees about taking part in something apart from Zelda within the subsequent few days.
