Rumors of a Nintendo Switch successor have swirled for years, but now Nintendo has finally broken the silence. The company confirmed that a Switch 2 is in the works, with a reveal expected within this fiscal year (ending March 2025).
This is Furukawa, President of Nintendo. We will make an announcement about the successor to Nintendo Switch within this fiscal year. It will have been over nine years since we announced the existence of Nintendo Switch back in March 2015. We will be holding a Nintendo Direct…

- Reveal Timeline: Expect an announcement by March 2025, though the actual launch could be later. Nintendo’s original Switch followed a similar pattern.
- Upcoming Nintendo Direct: A Direct is planned for next month, but it will focus on upcoming games, not the new console.
The Big Question: What can we expect from the Switch 2? Leaks and speculation will undoubtedly intensify as the official reveal approaches.
