Nintendo recently confirmed that it will announce its next console this fiscal year, meaning the Switch’s successor will be revealed before April 2025.
In a statement published alongside its financial results last month, president Shuntaro Furukawa also said the company would hold a Nintendo Direct this June, but that the presentation would not include information on the new console.
Switch is now in its seventh year on the market, and the expectation is that Nintendo will launch a successor console early next year.
