13 Bold Gaming Predictions For 2019
12. The Next Zelda Game Is Announced
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild may have only been released back in March of last year, but there's no denying that fans who've poured literally hundreds of hours into it are hungry for a sequel fully designed from the ground-up for the Nintendo Switch.
Last month Nintendo Japan posted some new job ads for an upcoming 3D Zelda game, so it's pretty safe to assume that Breath of the Wild's successor is already in some form of active development.
Given that Nintendo doesn't tend to keep fans waiting more than a few years between Zelda games, it would make sense for the follow-up to be announced sometime in 2019, most likely during their E3 Direct for maximum impact.
As for the release date? 2019 is pretty optimistic, though not totally out of the question if the game re-uses Breath of the Wild's gameplay style (and even some of its assets).
