New Nintendo Switch 2 report says release date could be April 2025

Nintendo switch oledn handheld display.

Earlier this year, Nintendo went on the record and confirmed it would “make an announcement about the successor to Nintendo Switch within this fiscal year (ending March 31, 2025).” This gave gamers (like us, desperate for any scrap of news about the Nintendo Switch 2) hope that the device could launch before the start of spring next year. Unfortunately, it seems we may be waiting a little longer than hoped. 

During the latest episode of The GamesIndustry.biz podcast (and spotted by VGC), the publication's Christopher Dring explained that while the Nintendo Switch 2 will be announced before the end of March, it is not expected to be released within this current fiscal year. Instead, the Switch 2 release date could be April 2025 at the earliest.
