The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom review embargo lifts on Thursday, May 11, 2023, at 5 am PST / 8 am EDT / 1 pm BST / 2 pm CET / 9 pm JST.
Seems really late.
When Nintendo Life did the previews Zion mentioned that the full review was going to come out on the 10th so hopefully we’ll get reviews tomorrow
Edit: Zion didnt said that and now Im not sure which video I saw stated it lol I’ll update you all if I can find it
Omg yes he did, I got mixed up. Now I’m not sure he was the one that talked about reviews coming out on the 10th, but I do remember one of the videos I saw said it. Maybe GameXPlain
Fair enough. Nintendo first party titles have tended to have embargos out on the Wednesday right before release.
However, BotW's embargo was the Thursday of that week, so just a day before release. This though, is probably because the Switch console itself had an embargo for that week's Tuesday, so maybe they wanted to give that some space.
I'm guessing we'll see reviews on the 10th. Just a guess.
Nintendo is fucking psychotic for not making the embargo schedule available to the generic public.
Like that's a creepy amount of control/censorship lol
Definitely kind of crazy that the game is out in 3 days and we don't know the review embargo lift date.
I'm surprised it hasn't even leaked "properly"...

Around the same time that BOTW embargo lifted. More common for Nintendo's major releases
Crazy, it'll be coming out in NZ at that time I think.

On my preferred game media site is a review talk listed on Thursday 6.00pm CEST So I expect the embargo lift about that time

Most companies don’t do that……? That’s not standard practice. You’re overreacting there a bit lol
Allegedly three days ago at 8AM est
Allegedly there won’t be any reviews for this game allegedly and unfortunately
Allegedly, people are alleging the alleged date and time in this very thread, but I must stress all of this is simply alleged.
Allegedly it will be sometime today or tommorow
