Nintendo’s highly anticipated “Switch 2” was initially expected to be released this year, but a recent rumor has cast doubt on that timeline. According to VGC, Eurogamer, and other sources, the company has informed publishers that the next-gen console is now scheduled for release in the first quarter of 2025. This aligns with the original Switch’s release, which was announced in October 2016 and launched in March 2017.
Recent reports indicate that publishers were briefed on the change in the launch date, shifting from late 2024 to early 2025. Sources have revealed that they are working on games for the Switch 2 with plans for release in early 2025. One highly anticipated title could be the long-awaited Metroid Prime 4, which is still on Nintendo’s release schedule without a specific date attached.
Earlier this month, Nintendo revised its fiscal 2024 Switch sales forecast from 15 million to 15.5 million, a slight increase from the previous year. However, the company’s stock took a hit today due to rumors of the release delay.
