Posted on May 7, 2024 by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch, Switch 2
Nintendo will be revealing the successor to Switch within this fiscal year, the company just confirmed.
That news comes directly from president Shuntaro Furukawa. Furukawa provided the brief update as part of today’s financial results – you can read about that here.
Also confirmed today is that the next Nintendo Direct will air in June. However, fans should expect to hear news about what’s slated for Switch for the second half of the year only.
The full statement reads:
“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 this June regarding the Nintendo Switch software lineup for the latter half of 2024, but please be aware that there will be no mention of the Nintendo Switch successor during that presentation.”
Furukawa didn’t provide anything more specific regarding timing for the announcement of Switch 2. However, keep in mind that the next fiscal year ends March 2025.
