“We previously announced that we were aiming for a 2022 release for this game,” Aonuma says in the video. “However, we have decided to extend our development a bit and change the release to Spring 2023.”
“For those of you who have been looking forward to a release this year, we apologize,” he added.
The video ends with a simple plea from Aonuma: “In order to make this game’s experience something special, the entire development team is continuing to work diligently on this game, so please wait a while longer.”
