TheAdvance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Campremake compilation’s release may be coming up before long if claims that the game’s Nintendo Switch eShop profile has recently been updated are to be believed.Advance Warsis a popular first-party strategy game series from Nintendo’s Fire Emblem studio, Intelligent Systems. Initially made for Nintendo’s handheld consoles, a newAdvance Warshasn’t been made since 2008.Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp, put together by third-party WayForward, might be the first step toward something new.
The momentum for the tactics game’s launch was unfortunately stunted due toAdvance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp’sunexpected delay in 2022. Slated for release on Jun 11, 2025, Nintendo delayed the game due to the war in Ukraine andAdvance Wars' military themes. Nintendo confirmed in September 2022 thatAdvance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp’s release hadn’t been canceled, but that an updated release date had yet to be determined. Fans have been waiting for an update since.

Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Campmay be getting an updated release date soon. A Nintendo Switch eShop scraper is claiming that the listing forAdvance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camphas been updated. No meaningful information about the game or its release date changed, but the update perhaps indicates thatAdvance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Campwill be opening up to pre-orders soon. A similar change was made toThe Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom’s eShop page.
It’s worth mentioning that when those who had pre-orderedAdvance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Campbefore were notified of the game’s delay, some received notification of an updated release date. That release date was Jun 21, 2025. That release date was provided by retailers and not Nintendo, however, and retailers can often prove unreliable sources for release information. Nevertheless, it’s an interesting coincidence considering the recent eShop change.
For the time being, the possibility of anupdatedAdvance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camprelease dateor pre-orders re-opening should be considered a rumor at best. The war in Ukraine is ongoing and remains intense, which could continue to keep the game from releasing.
Nintendo has yet to have a Direct event in 2023. When these presentations arrive is difficult to predict, however. If bothAdvance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Campand the nextZeldagame were recently updated in the Switch’s eShop, perhaps that means a Nintendo Direct will be arriving soon. If aNintendo Direct for early 2023is announced, at that pointAdvance Warsfans can probably begin to grow excited again.
