Nintendo confirms its participation in the Gamescom exhibition this year

Nintendo has confirmed its participation in the Gamescom 2023 expo, after skipping the gaming convention in 2022. The event will take place in Cologne, Germany, from August 23 to 27. Currently, Nintendo is the only major publisher that has confirmed its participation in the expo.

2023 promises to be a busy year for Nintendo. The company has already released Fire Emblem Engage, Advance Wars 1+2, and Metroid Prime Remastered, but it still has several major projects in the pipeline.

The next big release from Nintendo will be The Legend Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom, with the Breath Of The Wild sequel set to be released on May 12.

Earlier this month, Nintendo released the final trailer for the game, which confirmed that the series antagonist, Ganondorf, will be resurrected after his body was shown in the game's first teaser.

Shortly after this announcement, Critical Role star Matthew Mercer revealed that he will voice Ganondorf in Tears Of The Kingdom.

"Many of you know the weight that rests on my shoulders, and I hope I don't let you down," Mercer shared. "Huge thanks to[Nintendo]and the entire Tears Of The Kingdom team for trusting me with such a villain."

In addition to Tears Of The Kingdom, Nintendo will also release the highly anticipated Pikmin 4 on July 21, just a month before the start of Gamescom.
