The Switch 2 could miss Christmas 2024. Several sources suggest that Nintendo could extend its time until the beginning of 2025. If even Eurogamer, which has a keen ear on these subjects, hears the same thing, it is because it There’s probably some truth to that.

The Switch has been a hit since its release in 2017. But with a techno heart dating from 2015, almost 10 years ago, we’re all starting to cringe for modern hardware. In fact, the Switch 2 was expected for 2024. “Was”, yes, bad news…
Early 2025
Pedro Henrique Lutti Lippe, Brazilian journalist recognized in the world of video games, recently shared information indicating that Nintendo could push the launch of its next console, the Switch 2, to early 2025.
This delay, although within the 2024 fiscal year for the company, would offer Nintendo additional margin to finalize its launch catalog.
This strategy would aim not only to refine the games accompanying the release of the console but also to optimize its financial impact. These statements are echoed by Eurogamerknown for its reliability, which adds credence to this rumor.
Video Games Chronicle (VGC) adds to the conversation by confirming, via two development sources, that the targeted launch window would indeed be the first quarter of 2025. That said, the lack of official confirmation as to the reasons for this possible delay fuels speculation.
Currently, Nintendo’s schedule for 2024 seems rather light with a few releases announced for the current Switch, such as a Princess Peach game in March, then Luigi’s Mansion 2 and Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door. That, but also Metroid Prime 4, without a release date, feels like the passing of the baton.
