Nintendo announced a remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time during its Nintendo Direct presentation on Tuesday. It will launch sometime in 2026 on Nintendo Switch 2. More details will be announced “in the future.”

This new title is the first major release in the franchise since 2024’s Echoes of Wisdom, which starred Princess Zelda herself. Echoes followed 2023’s Tears of the Kingdom, a direct sequel to Breath of the Wild — both of which got upgraded Switch 2 versions alongside the launch of the new console last year. In November, Nintendo also launched the hack-and-slash title Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment.

Like with Super Mario, Nintendo is starting to seriously look at taking the Zelda franchise beyond games, too, with a live-action movie set to debut on April 30th, 2027. Late last year, the company shared a few images of stars Bo Bragason (Zelda) and Benjamin Evan Ainsworth (Link) in costume, and their outfits suggest the film will take cues from titles like Breath of the Wild and Twilight Princess.

Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 Beta Will Do Something No Previous CoD Beta Has

Activision has announced that the upcoming Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 beta will have more than just multiplayer content. The MW4 beta will also include access to the campaign mission, Entrenched, along with the upcoming Warzone mode, Resurgence Zodiac(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/cod-modern-warfare-4-beta-may-include-a-new-warzone-map/). Activision will show off some of this content during the Call of Duty: Next event on August 21. As announced previously, the beta begins with an early access period August 21-25 for people who preorder, before opening up to everyone to try August 28-September 1. The early-access beta will not be available on Switch 2, as preorders for the Switch 2 version don't begin until August 28. !(https://www.gamespot.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/Screenshot-2026-08-14-at-10.47.27-AM.png) The MW4 beta approaches. Activision also revealed all the maps, modes, and content in the beta. You can find the full details in GameSpot's rundown of the MW4 beta(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/call-of-duty-modern-warfare-4-beta-dates-revealed-heres-how-to-get-in/). Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 releases on October 23 for PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Switch 2, and preordering grants access to the campaign a week before launch(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/call-of-duty-modern-warfare-4-brings-back-campaign-early-access-heres-how-to-get-it/). The game coming to Switch 2 is notable since the franchise hasn't appeared on a Nintendo platform since 2013's Call of Duty: Ghosts. MW4 is also the first entry since Ghosts in 2013 to skip PS4 and Xbox One. Infinity Ward is leading development on the game, which comes after back-to-back Black Ops releases, the latter of which, 2025's Black Ops 7, had the worst sales ranking in the US since 2008(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/black-ops-7-had-call-of-dutys-worst-sales-year-ranking-in-the-us-since-2008/1100-6537567/). Also noteworthy for Modern Warfare 4 is that it will not launch directly into Xbox Game Pass, as both Black Ops 6 and Black Ops 7 did.
