Nintendo has announced that the upcoming Switch 2 presentation will run for about an hour.
This extended duration hints at plenty of details to cover in one of the year's most eagerly awaited events.
The event kicks off on April 2, 2025, at 6 a.m. Pacific, 9 a.m. Eastern, or 2 p.m. British time. Company officials plan to dive deeper into the Switch 2 after its quick teaser reveal earlier this year.
That initial glimpse showed the device's design, a peek at what appears to be the next Mario Kart installment, and hints of a possible pointer function for the updated controllers.
Yet several mysteries remain, such as the purpose of the enigmatic new button on the controllers, the system's performance capabilities, and potential uses for its fresh connectivity options.
Viewers hope the broadcast will reveal the complete array of launch titles, an official rollout timeline—likely sometime from June to September 2025—and perhaps the cost, with experts forecasting around $400.
Excitement builds around upcoming software, including numerous speculated ports from outside studios. In a chat with IGN, the team behind Civilization 7 described the Switch 2's apparent controller pointer as "certainly captivating." Accessory firm Nacon, known for titles like Greedfall 2 and RoboCop: Rogue City, confirmed projects prepared for the platform. Fans also buzz about Hollow Knight: Silksong making an appearance, while EA executives noted sports and simulation games could suit it well.
Recent news of a fresh digital sharing option across devices sparked curiosity, especially regarding the Switch 2, due to a subtle note on the company's site.
In addition, a hands-on demo session with Switch 2 titles is scheduled for April 3 and 4, starting at 7 a.m. Pacific each morning.
