Nintendo Finally Gives Update On Nintendo Switch 2, Confirms June Nintendo Direct

Summary Nintendo has confirmed news about the successor to the Switch coming very soon.

Consumers can expect an announcement within the fiscal year ending March 2025.

The new console will not be revealed in a major Direct showcase in June 2024.

Nintendo has finally addressed the future of the Nintendo Switch, confirming that players can expect news on the company's next major console in the very near future. Rumors have swirled for years that the notoriously elusive publisher has been developing a new console to take over from the Switch given the console's lackluster power compared to the likes of the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. While details on what the next piece of hardware will entail are still unknown, consumers now at least have an idea of when to expect the big reveal.

Posted to Nintendo's official account on X (formerly Twitter), President of Nintendo Shuntaro Furukawa confirmed that the company "will make an announcement about the successor to Nintendo Switch within this fiscal year."

While that window is still fairly wide in terms of when exactly the console will be revealed, it means that the so-called Switch 2 will finally be unveiled before the end of March 31, 2025. Outside of this, Nintendo also confirmed that it's planning on holding a major Direct showcase in June 2024, noting that the new console will not be on display for said event.
