    The game is now scheduled for release in the 2nd quarter of 2023, around Spring.
    “We previously announced that we were aiming for a 2022 release for this game,” said Aonuma, on Twitter. “However, we have decided to extend our development time 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.”
