A number of developers believe the next Nintendo console may not be released until well into 2025.
While speaking on the GI Podcast, journalist Christopher Dring sought to clear up a popular rumor that Nintendo’s successor to the Switch may be released by the end of this fiscal year, which ends on March 31, 2025.
“No developer I have spoken to expects it to launch in this financial year. In fact, they’ve been told not to expect it in this financial year. A bunch of people I spoke to hope it’s out in April/May.”
Nintendo’s upcoming console release date has been in question for some time now. It was previously expected out by the end of 2024, only to be reportedly pushed back to early 2025. Recent reports suggest that it’s unlikely for the upcoming console to launch before April 2025.
Earlier this year, Nintendo announced that it will reveal the Switch 2 by the end of this fiscal year. The new console is reportedly similar to the original Switch, which is interesting considering the changes from previous consoles like the Wii U to the Switch.
The original Nintendo Switch was launched in 2017. Since then, various versions of the console have been made, including the Switch Lite and, more recently, the Switch OLED. The upcoming console may use Nvidia’s custom variant T239 processor, which is capable of running Death Stranding at 1080p while maintaining 35fps.
