Nintendo is making it official: The Nintendo Switch 2 gaming console will arrive in 2025.
The Japanese video game giant announced the new Switch Thursday morning, alongside the first official images of the device.

The Switch 2 will have exclusive games, but will also work with physical and digital versions of games from the original console, which was released in 2017.
New video game consoles tend to be a once or twice a decade event, and every release from Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft tends to attract enormous attention. The companies also tend to release major new games alongside the new consoles.

In the case of Nintendo, that includes some of the entertainment industry’s best intellectual property, including the world of Super Mario Bros., The Legend of Zelda, Mario Kart, Super Smash Bros., Donkey Kong, and others.
Nintendo says that more details on the Switch 2 will be announced at a premiere event to be held in cities around the world on April 2. The company will also bring the console on a tour around the world for gamers to try it out, with stops in Los Angeles, New York, London, Paris and Tokyo planned.
Nintendo also released a trailer for the Switch 2, which you can watch below.Sign up for THR news straight to your inbox every daySign up for THR news straight to your inbox every daySubscribe for full access to The Hollywood ReporterSend us a tip using our anonymous form.
