Nintendo’s Switch 2 Release Rumored for 2025

Nintendo fans were excited about the release of the highly anticipated “Switch 2” this year, but recent rumours are suggesting that its arrival may be delayed.

Nintendo’s Switch 2 Release Rumour

Reputable sources like VGC and Eurogamer have reported that Nintendo has informed publishers that their upcoming next-generation console is expected to be released in the first quarter of 2025. This timeline aligns with the launch strategy of the original Switch, which was announced in October 2016 but was not available for purchase until March 2017.

Publishers have been informed about the update in the timeline, and are now focusing on releasing Switch 2 games in early 2025. One of the highly anticipated titles is “Metroid Prime 4,” however, a specific release date has not been provided yet. Following speculation, Nintendo’s stock declined due to worries about a possible delay in product launch. This occurred after the company slightly raised its fiscal 2024 Switch sales forecast, suggesting ongoing interest in the current console.

Specific information about the Switch 2 is currently limited, including its official title. Nevertheless, speculation indicates that it could feature the ability to play older Switch games, support 4K resolution, and offer visual performance comparable to top competitors such as the PS5 and Series X.

Although there have been advancements, Nintendo’s 2024 is expected to be a busy year, with the possibility of the Switch 2 being announced in an upcoming Nintendo Direct presentation. Fans are eagerly anticipating more information, as the gaming community prepares for the next phase in Nintendo’s popular console series.
