The Nintendo Switch continues to enjoy enormous popularity. A lot of new games will appear again in 2022, both big blockbusters and promising indie titles. TECHBOOK lists the highlights for this year.
2022 has been a mixed year for gamers so far. In addition to great new games, the industry is still struggling with the effects of the pandemic, both positive and negative. For the Nintendo Switch, for example, Corona resulted in an extreme increase in demand; for months the console was hard to come by. This has also given game development a boost. That's why we can look forward to more Nintendo Switch highlights in 2022 than ever before. In order to keep track of this flood of new games, TECHBOOK lists the titles that you should definitely keep an eye on.
The Nintendo Switch highlights of 2022
According to the current status, 2022 will be a year in which a comparatively large number of major titles will be released for the switch. "Pokémon Legends: Arceus", "Kirby and the Forgotten Land", "Rune Factory 5", "13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim" or "Tormented Souls" are just a few names on this list. We present some highlights in more detail and keep the following list as up-to-date as possible.
Assassin's Creed: The Ezio Collection
The Ezio Collection includes the games Assassin's Creed II, Assassin's Creed Brotherhood and Assassin's Creed: Revelations. The Assassin series from Ubisoft is certainly known to most people. And it is precisely the titles mentioned, in which the player accompanies the assassin Ezio Auditore, that are still extremely popular today. Assassin's Creed II, which sees Ezio avenging his family in Renaissance Florence, is considered by most fans to be the best installment of the entire series.

Middle-earth and Daedalic fans had to wait a long time, but in 2022 it should finally be time.

What about Zelda: BotW 2?
As early as 2019, Nintendo announced the development of a second part of its own mega game "Zelda: Breath of the Wild". Since then, many have been eagerly awaiting news, but so far the developer has kept a low profile. 2022 was originally announced as the release year, but this has now been postponed to spring 2023.
Apart from this vague date and a short trailer, there isn't much information about the project yet. The plot probably ties directly to the first part; For example, Link and Zelda could be busy rebuilding Hyrule. Rumor has it that they won't be dealing with Link's eternal adversary Ganondorf again, instead a new villain will be announced.
Even though Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2 isn't among the Nintendo Switch news, it promises to be a good year. TECHBOOK keeps you up to date on the sequel and other interesting Switch games in the newsletter, among other things!
