The Nintendo console in question has been shrouded in speculation and rumor-mill chatter for an eternity, yet with each passing day, we inch closer to finally laying eyes on the long-awaited reveal. Nintendo previously hinted at a possible reveal of its new console within the next 12 months, but recent claims suggest this timeline may no longer hold true.
According to a recent episode of the GamesIndustry.biz Podcast, journalist Christopher Dring shared insights that suggest Nintendo has informed developers across the industry that they should not anticipate the release of its Switch successor before this fiscal year’s end, implying it won’t launch until at least April 2025. According to Dring, many people he’s spoken to still hope for a spring launch, with some targeting April or May, but if you were counting on seeing the console hit shelves in the early months of the year, it seems that won’t be happening?
While rumors swirl about Nintendo’s next-generation console, intriguing questions arise regarding its formal announcement and subsequent discussion. It seems the current Switch still harbors a spark of vitality.
