Games industry sources claim that Nintendo has put back the launch date for its next-generation console until March 2025.
The gaming giant has reportedly informed publishers and developers of its new plans.
Contrary to previous reports, it seems that Nintendo’s next console will not be released in August. In fact, it won’t be released in 2024 at all.
“Industry sources” have revealed that the Japanese gaming giant no longer plans to launch the proposedNintendo Switch 2later this year. However, slightly better news is that they’ve been told to expect it to arrive in Q1 2025 instead – most likely next March.
“[It] has told some publishing executives not to expect the console until March 2025 at the earliest.”
That may come as a huge disappointment to some who have been saving their pennies for the new machine. However, if you are in the market for an existingNintendo Switch, you can look forward to some amazing deals on the build up to the holiday season –Black Friday, anyone?
