Japan's Nintendo said on Thursday it will release the Switch 2 console this year, unveiling a device that appeared to closely follow the design of its popular predecessor.

The Nintendo Switch 2, the successor to the Nintendo Switch system, will be released in 2025, the company said. In a new promotional video, Nintendo showcases a larger version of the Switch that looks similar to its predecessor. The video also shows the system’s controllers, or Joy-Cons, now attach to the side of the main unit rather than slide in.

After months of speculation, and multiple unconfirmed leaks from third-party accessory manufacturers, Nintendo has finally pulled back the curtain on the worst-kept secret in the gaming industry with the official announcement the successor to the Switch.
