Rarely do games stay the same throughout development. One example of this pertains to Zelda: Breath of the Wild, specifically involving two locations.

In an interview published on Nintendo’s website this week, developer Manabu Takehara revealed that Kakariko Village and Korok Forest ended up swapping locations. He felt that “the two locations were out of place” as the game started to come together, so having them switch made the most sense.

Takehara said:

Sayonara Wild Hearts, which was first unveiled at The Game Awards last year, has been dated for Switch. Annapurna Interactive revealed today that its launch will take place on September 19.

Chris Niosi originally voiced male Byleth in Fire Emblem: Three Houses. Now, however, he has been replaced. Today’s update for the game, version 1.0.2, implements the change in English voice actors.

Niosi had already been replaced in Fire Emblem Heroes. He previously admitted to abuse, and apparently broke an NDA after bragging about his role as the player character’s male avatar in Fire Emblem: Three Houses. You can read more about the situation here and here.

Today’s update does not impact the Japanese voice cast.
