Rumour: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of The Wild 2
- The sequel to Nintendo’s The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is a highly anticipated title, ever since it was teased at E3 2019.
- However, since then there haven’t been any updates or news since the teaser. But now a leak may have sprung, as an Austrian retailer could have just shared the release window for Breath of the Wild 2.
- The retailer in question is Gameware, which had listed The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2 to be releasing sometime between April and June. The leak was first seen on Reddit, which listed the game to be “coming out in the 2nd quarter of 2021.”
- This could be an error on the retailer’s site or a placement listing as there hasn’t been any news about the game for some time from Nintendo. This is also a smaller retailer so we’ll have to take this with a grain of salt.
- What do you think of this supposed leak? Let us know in the comments below.

BlizzConline 2021
- Blizzard has announced some further details about the upcoming virtual replacement for BlizzCon. The BlizzConline opening ceremony will start on Friday February 19th at 2PM PST.

There’s also Illadin showing off some Hearthstone skills in the foreground, along with the Lich King himself for World of Warcraft, and Lilith taking center from upcoming Diablo 4.
- Hopefully this image means we are getting updates for all of these games, especially Diablo 4 which has been getting quarterly updates, but it would be great to see more gameplay.
- We’re probably closer to a Diablo Immortal release date if anything, as the free-to-play mobile RPG had an alpha version at the end of last year. If you’re interested to watch some Diablo Immortal gameplay impressions be sure to check out that video.

- BlizzConline will be free this year, as it takes place all online which can be watched on the official BlizzCon website. While there is no virtual ticket this year, fans can still get some Blizzard virtual goodies as they celebrate their 30th Anniversary.
