LEGEND OF ZELDA: Breath of the Wild is getting a sequel, and it’s already in development.

Nintendo revealed the shocking news to gamers at the very end of their pre-E3 Direct video presentation.

They didn’t reveal very much more than that, though a teaser trailer showed hero Link and the titular Zelda exploring what looked like a tomb.

They appear to have woken up something powerful – or maybe just arrived in time for it to wake up of its own accord – as the castle above starts to shake.

Breath of the Wild launched with the Switch in 2017, and was loved by critics and gamers alike.

There’s no release date yet.

It is not just a new game in the Legend of Zelda series either – it is very specifically a sequel to Breath of the Wild, much as Majora’s Mask was to Twilight Princess back in the N64 days.

Zelda fans do have plenty to be keeping them busy, though.

Nintendo’s presentation featured a good look at the remake of the super-cute Link’s Awakening which is coming on September 20 this year, while Cadence of Hyrule is out this Thursday, June 13.

Nintendo had earlier revealed more information about Animal Crossing, including the disappointing news that it was being delayed until 2020.

Elsewhere at E3, Ubisoft have revealed two wildly different new games due early next year – Watch Dogs Legion and Roller Champions.

Microsoft meanwhile revealed its plans to release its next Xbox in time for Christmas next year, giving gamers a first glimpse of what they can expect with their big annual briefing.

Keanu Reeves also dropped by to let fans know he was starring in next year’s Cyberpunk 2077, and that the game would be available in April.
They also revealed more about Project Xcloud, which will let you play the latest Xbox games on any screen you like, whether you own an Xbox or not.

EA also revealed more details of its new Star Wars game, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, and has admitted that it’s not going to be bringing the real Fifa 20 for Nintendo Switch.
You can also see all the best new trailers revealed so far right here, with highlights including Gears 5, Halo Infinite, Doom Eternal and, of course, Cyberpunk 2077.
