So, when is the game getting its global release? And will it come to other platforms too? Continue reading for more details on the same.
Sequel to 2017’s winner of The Game Award for Game of the Year – The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has been in development for more than half a decade. It was initially planned for a 2022 release, but Nintendo had to delay the game further to polish it. Finally, on March 28 of this year, Nintendo released a nearly 14-minute gameplay representation video to showcase the game. Furthermore, Eiji Aonuma, the producer of the series revealed that the development of the game was now complete. So, when is it releasing, and on which platforms?
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom will launch globally on May 12, 2023. Developed by Nintendo EPD (the largest division of the company), TotK is a single-player experience. The game was originally a DLC idea but then it ballooned to such a size that Nintendo decided to scrap the DLC plan and rather develop a new sequel. Fans can head over to the Nintendo e-shop to pre-order the game for $69.99. You will also receive up to 350 Gold Points for pre-ordering the game. Well, available at $359.99, a Totk edition OLED model is also available for pre-order.

If there is one company that is very strict on preserving its IP, it’s Nintendo. The company has been criticized many times for shutting down fan projects, sending cease and desist orders, and other stuff like that. It’s the only video game company that has yet to port its flagship titles to platforms like PlayStation, Xbox, and Windows. Based on these facts, we are more than sure that The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom will remain a Nintendo Switch exclusive for the foreseeable future. The only other console this game will see the light of day will be the Switch’s successor itself. So, if you want to enjoy TotK, better get a Nintendo Switch for yourself.
Although there is little to no chance of happening, if Nintendo decides to port the game to other platforms, we will make sure to update this article at the earliest. Meanwhile, keep DigiStatement bookmarked to get the latest updates in the world of gaming.
