Nintendo delays sequel to Breath of the Wild
Moved to spring 2023
Though this year might be a good one for open-world games, one highly anticipated title will move its launch date to next year. Nintendo is delaying the launch of Breath of the Wild sequel to spring 2023.
Nintendo initially planned for a launch later this year. However, a surprise announcement cites continued development as a reason for the delay.
Unfortunately, prolonging development doesn’t indicate much about the state of the sequel. Despite the hype surrounding the sequel, Nintendo has not revealed anything substantial about the sequel’s gameplay or story. It doesn’t even have a title yet. The company continues to simply call it the sequel to Breath of the Wild.
Currently, fans of the series are stuck deciphering the same two 90-second trailers over and over. Both trailers were enough to generate hype for the title but are still lacking in giving enough details about the game. Regardless, it’s enough to propel the unreleased title into the upper echelons of the Switch mythos.
The original Breath of the Wild is one of the most prolific titles of the Switch generation. When the console launched, the open-world game helped balloon the Switch to its position now in pop culture.

Street Fighter 6 adds first Filipino fighter Yasmine to its roster
Eskrima fighter joins battle
Street Fighter 6 has officially welcomed Yasmine, making history as the first Filipino martial artist to join the franchise’s playable roster. The new character is now available across PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, PC, and Nintendo Switch 2 as part of the game’s Year 4 content.
Yasmine practices Eskrima, having learned the Filipino martial art alongside her older brother under their grandfather’s guidance. She wields Karambit knives in battle and embarks on a journey to find her missing brother.
Players can access Yasmine by purchasing the Year 4 Character Pass or Year 4 Ultimate Pass. Her default outfit features traditional Eskrima-inspired combat attire, while a school uniform serves as her second costume. In combat, she specializes in fast, aggressive attacks that build toward an enhanced Bayani Mode.
Yasmine is the first of four Year 4 fighters, followed by Arjun, Tifa from the Final Fantasy VII Remake series, and Bosch. Her release also arrives alongside battle balance adjustments affecting the entire roster.
Onimusha crossover arrives this week
Capcom also announced a limited-time collaboration between Street Fighter 6 and Onimusha. Running from August 7 to August 31, 2026, the event introduces Oni EX character colors, themed Battle Hub decorations, avatar items, and additional rewards for players who log in during the event.
The update also adds new Avatar Arcade courses, additional ending scenes, a Frame Meter option for Avatar Random Match, and refreshed Master ACT rewards.
Philippine launch event set for August 9
Capcom will celebrate Yasmine’s debut with an official Philippine community launch event on Sunday, August 9, at Salud! by Primera Bar & Restaurant in Palanan, Makati. The event runs from 2:00 PM to 9:00 PM and features a double-elimination tournament, gameplay showcases, giveaways, and community activities.
Attendees can also receive limited-edition Yasmine merchandise, including event T-shirts, lanyards, and collectible keychains while supplies last. Special guests and cosplayers are also scheduled to appear. Admission will be on a first-come, first-served basis and is subject to venue capacity.
