Recent reports suggest a potential "Summer of Switch 2" in 2025, despite an anticipated launch date no earlier than April 2025. This contrasts with Nintendo's continued focus on maximizing sales of the current Switch model.
A "Summer of Switch 2" Next Year?
Developers Eyeing April/May 2025 Launch
Industry whispers place the Switch 2's release after April 2025. GamesIndustry.biz, citing developer sources, indicates that developers have been advised to not expect a launch within the current fiscal year (ending March 2025). Many developers reportedly hope for an April or May launch.
This projected timeframe may be strategic, potentially avoiding a launch conflict with anticipated titles like "GTA 6," rumored for a Fall 2025 release. Further fueling speculation, journalist Pedro Henrique Lutti Lippe hinted at a pre-August 2024 Switch 2 announcement. This aligns with Nintendo's stated intention to announce the successor before the end of their fiscal year (March 31, 2025). However, official confirmation remains pending.
