The Nintendo Direct live will likely be focused on the upcoming Zelda title, which is largely the most-awaited Nintendo release of the year.

Fans have been eagerly waiting for a long time to learn more on The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, whose release date is roughly three months away.

The sequel to the award-winning game Breath of the Wild is planned to release on May, 12, and fans don’t know much about it, a few video trailers aside.

Rumors pointed at new information on upcoming Nintendo Switch-exclusive Tears of the Kingdom game being revealed soon when an official video games store published a new description for the title yesterday. The story and playstyle are still shrouded in mystery —but the wait seems to be almost over.

Since Nintendo stated it will last “roughly 40 minutes,” it’s likely to feature more information on other upcoming titles, too. Many fans are expecting to learn more on Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and The Lost Demon, set to release on March, 17, as well as Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp, whose release date has yet to be revealed.
