Nintendo will announce the Switch 2 before April 2025

Nintendo has confirmed that it will present its new game console, successor to the Nintendo Switch, during this fiscal year, while announcing a new Nintendo Direct event scheduled for next June, which will discuss the games that will come to this ‘hardware’ in the second half of this year.

The Japanese video game company announced the first Nintendo Switch in 2015, although its launch took place two years later. Since then, it has released several updates, such as the Nintendo Switch model with a longer battery life and the model with an OLED screen, without forgetting the portable-only version, Switch Lite.

Now, Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa has confirmed that they will announce the company’s next console, successor to the current Nintendo Switch, during this fiscal year, which extends until the month of March 2025.

This was detailed by the manager in a publication on X (former Twitter) from the NintendoCoLtd account, in which he explained that after “more than nine years” since they announced the existence of Nintendo Switch they will unveil the new console no later than March of next year.

Following this line, Furukawa has also announced that they will hold a Nintendo Direct event next June. However, he has stressed that it will be a presentation that will collect news about “the Nintendo Switch ‘software’ line for the second half of 2024″.

With this, Nintendo has clarified that no information related to the successor console to Nintendo Switch will be shared during the event. Instead, new games and updates from the company will be revealed for the second half of this year.
