The unveiling of the Nintendo Switch 2 is getting closer and closer. Although Nintendo is currently working hard on the current console and will be releasing a new exclusive game for the Switch in a few days, The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, a potential successor is already on the horizon. And since Nintendo has so far been reluctant to reveal the look of the Switch 2, fans are taking matters into their own hands.
When will the Nintendo Switch 2 be released?
An exact date has not yet been announced, but it is assumed that Nintendo will release the Switch 2 in 2025. What has been certain for some time, however, is that Nintendo wants to officially introduce the new console within the current fiscal year, which ends on March 31, 2025.
Recent leaks could, however, accelerate this plan. Footage of a supposedly real Switch 2 Even the experts at Digital Foundry believe the recordings are real. Nintendo could therefore unveil the Switch 2 in a very likely September Direct.
