Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake Confirmed, Phantom Blade Zero Gets a State of Play

Nintendo has officially confirmed a Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake, one of the more significant announcements the company could make. The news lands alongside confirmation of a physical Switch 2 edition of Stardew Valley, with pre-orders now live, and a trailer for Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition on Switch 2 that leans into the game's story. Bethesda also noted that the performance improvements made for Oblivion Remastered's Switch 2 version could eventually reach other platforms.

Phantom Blade Zero pre-orders are open and an 11-minute trailer is out, with a dedicated State of Play set for August 17 giving the action RPG a proper showcase moment. The upcoming Star Wars RPG added a feature fans have been requesting for decades, though details remain vague. Lord of the Rings: War in the North shadow dropped as a remaster with more remasters teased to follow, and Rockstar is still keeping Remedy quiet on the Max Payne 1 and 2 remake beyond confirming it exists.

Ubisoft's newest shooter has had a rough launch by the studio's own standards. Saber Interactive denied replacing a writer with ChatGPT on its new driving game but confirmed it will use AI for dialogue, citing an infinite passenger count as the reason. The Sims 4 is set to receive major free content, No Man's Sky developer Sean Murray reflected on how much money Hello Games left on the table by skipping DLC and microtransactions, and GTA 6 is unlikely to see a discount for a long time, according to new comments on pricing.
