After that, news regarding the game was silent, other than it would be released in December of this year. About a week ago however, the game’s release date changed, withAdvance Wars 1+2 Re-Boot Campbeing delayed into 2022.

However, it’s unknown if Nintendo or Wayforward intended to put this release date on the Eshop, considering the close proximity of news of the delay, and that neither company has given a firm release date after the fact.
Fans of Nintendo are pretty excited, considering how manygames are coming to the Switch in 2022. This includesBayonetta 3,Kirby and the Forgotten Land,Splatoon 3,Pokemon Legends: Arceus, and so much more.Advance Warsbeing in April puts it in-line with the targeted Spring 2022 range, as well as being on a Friday, which is when most first-party Nintendo games are also released.
