Earlier this year, Nintendo stated that it would announce the successor to the Nintendo Switch by the end of this fiscal year (ending March 31, 2025) This gave gamers (who, like us, were eager for any scrap of news about the Nintendo Switch 2) the hope that the Nintendo Switch 2 would be released by early next spring Alas, it looks like we will have to wait a little longer than we hoped
In the latest episode of The GamesIndustrybiz podcast (discovered by VGC), the magazine's Christopher Dring explained that the Nintendo Switch 2 is expected to be announced by the end of March, but not by the end of this year Instead, he said, the Switch 2 release date could be as early as April 2025
“None of the developers I spoke with expected it to launch within the current fiscal year,” Dring explained
“In fact, I've been told they don't expect it to launch this fiscal year Many people I have spoken to are hoping for an April or May launchRegarding the industry's appetite for the rumored successor to the Nintendo Switch, Dring said”
