BOTW was first teased during the 2013 January Direct, first footage was shown at E3 2014 and first gameplay later that year at TGA. If I'm not wrong, in 2015 there was only a small clip during the November Direct, it was the big game of E3 2016 and it had another trailer at the Switch presentation. Ever since its announcement in 2013 Nintendo acknowledged the game every single year. Despite COVID19, I refuse to believe we won't see any of BOTW2 this year. Fall Direct feels a bit late if the game was releasing in Spring 2021.
