Synopsis

Some companies like to cap off their announcements with a bit of a crowd pleaser. Nintendo, at this E3, blew the lid off the whole shebang, by semi-casually dropping a quasi-reveal for a sequel to what might be the most influential and revered video game in the past decade with a minute and a half of mind-numbing intrigue. We knew it existed, but we didn’t know it was coming — the Breath of the Wild sequel has been announced, and the very trailer that accompanied it sent the masses quaking in their boots.
