Nintendo’s next Direct has been announced for Wednesday, February 21st, at 9am ET/6am PT. It will be a 25-minute presentation featuring Switch games from Nintendo’s publishing and development partners.

This Direct comes on the heels of Xbox’s recent Developer_Direct and PlayStation’s State of Play. Nintendo says the presentation will be focused on games coming in the “first half of 2024.”

Notably, Xbox could be making an appearance at this week’s Nintendo Direct. We recently heard from Xbox’s Phil Spencer that four Xbox titles are making their way to other platforms. Some of the games are said to be “community” focused, hinting at the possibility of Xbox’s open-world pirate game, Sea of Thieves, making its way to Switch, alongside acclaimed smaller titles like Hi-Fi Rush and Pentiment.

When Microsoft confirmed the ports, it didn’t specify any of the four games, leading some to speculate that official reveals had already been arranged with Nintendo and/or PlayStation. Therefore, the Direct would be a logical place to make such an announcement.

This Nintendo Direct also comes at a time when rumours of the Switch 2’s release being delayed until 2025 are swirling.

You can watch Wednesday’s Direct on Nintendo’s official YouTube or Twitch.
