TL; DR
- Nintendo has confirmed that the Nintendo Switch 2 will be announced before April 2025.
- The company also revealed that a Nintendo Direct stream scheduled for next month will not mention the Switch successor.
We've heard rumors about the Nintendo Switch 2 for several years now, but the company remains largely silent on the subject of a Switch successor. That changed today, as Nintendo confirmed that a Switch 2 is indeed coming.
Nintendo attached to X that it will announce a successor to the Nintendo Switch “within this fiscal year.” That means we can expect a Switch 2 reveal no later than March 2025.
The company also noted that the original Switch was announced back in March 2015. Of course, the Switch wasn't actually released until March 2017, so an announcement/reveal of Switch 2 doesn't necessarily mean a launch will happen weeks or even months later. line.
Nintendo also warned that it will hold a Nintendo Direct next month, but added that it will not mention the Switch successor during this stream. Instead, this stream will focus on games releasing in the second half of the year.
Either way, we're excited to see what Nintendo has in store for the Switch 2. We expect many more leaks leading up to the console's eventual announcement and launch.
