So it's a 7 year old Botw sequel?

That's a longass time for a sequel of a game built off the same engine as the original.....

For context, Fallout 3 and Fallout 3 NV were only 2 years 4 months apart. Utilizing the same game engine.

Let's not bring up Skyrim as a counter argument tho, eh? :D

Botw was 2017, so 6 years, and then take off 1-2 years because covid years were hardly productive in the gaming industry in Japan. It also started as a DLC concept, and it wasn’t until later on they decided there was too many ideas they had to warrant being just a DLC, so it wasn’t even planned as a sequel from the start of development.

WE can't quantify that in truth. I happen to work in the gaming industry and we managed to maintain our release schedules during Covid. If your boss asked you "were you hardly productive during covid?" and you said yes then lord help me if you still have a job.l

Covid sucked, yes I agree. but it wasn't a free pass to just be a piece of shit company for 2 years where the digital of things became that much more hyper competitive.

My $.03.
