5 Major Nintendo Switch 2 Reveals Expected in the June 2026 Direct

by

Summer Game Fest was great this year, but honestly, I’m really hyped for Nintendo’s June Direct! They always have one, and rumors are flying around about a remake of Ocarina of Time and a new 3D Mario game. If those are real, this Direct could be HUGE!

Lots of rumors are circulating about a Nintendo Direct happening in June, with many reliable sources suggesting it will be the week of June 8th. Considering the buzz around GTA 6 and Nintendo’s own announcements about upcoming games, those who are excited about the next Switch – often called the Switch 2 – can anticipate some major reveals at this event.

Call of Duty Will Have a Huge Presence at the June Nintendo Direct

The fact that Call of Duty is launching on the new Nintendo Switch 2 is significant, and Nintendo knows it. With the recent announcement that Modern Warfare 4 will be available on the Switch 2 right when it launches, fans are anticipating a major announcement about it during the next Nintendo Direct presentation.

As a huge Nintendo fan, I’m really hoping we hear more about the next Call of Duty game soon – maybe even see a new trailer! It sounds like Modern Warfare 4 is definitely headed to the Switch, and there’s been some buzz about Black Ops 1 and Black Ops 2 possibly coming to the Switch 2 as well, thanks to some ratings board info from Korea. Honestly, with Call of Duty finally coming to Nintendo, I wouldn’t be shocked if they released both Black Ops games to celebrate!

Dusk Bloods Could Join Elden Ring In Getting a Release Date For the Holidays

FromSoftware’s Dusk Bloods is confirmed to be released on the Switch 2 this year, but a specific date hasn’t been announced – until now, potentially. With the Nintendo Direct happening in June, and Nintendo already revealing Elden Ring will launch on the Switch 2 on August 28th, an official release date for Dusk Bloods is likely to be revealed soon.

It’s likely Nintendo will start by showcasing new gameplay of Elden Ring on the new console, then move on to revealing their new game. Fans haven’t received much information about this new game since it was announced in April 2025, so a proper reveal with a release timeframe is overdue. Releasing a spooky, horror-themed game like Dusk Bloods in October would be ideal.

GTA 6’s Switch 2 Release Date and Announcement Would Be a Major System Seller for the Switch 2

Everyone’s talking about Grand Theft Auto 6 this holiday season, especially PlayStation and Xbox players. It’s launching on November 19th for both the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. However, Nintendo hasn’t said anything about whether the game will be available on the upcoming Switch 2.

Most experts believe that GTA 6 will be released on the Switch 2, and we’ll probably get a first look and estimated release timeframe during Nintendo’s June Direct presentation. It will likely take longer to get the game running smoothly on the Switch 2 compared to other consoles, as it needs to be specifically adjusted for the new system. However, it wouldn’t be surprising if GTA 6 arrived on the Switch 2 sometime in early next year.

Zelda’s Ocarina of Time Switch 2 Remake Will Definitely Be Announced at the Next Direct

While the new Switch likely won’t get Grand Theft Auto 6 this year, it’s almost guaranteed to receive the long-awaited remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. This remake is one of the most discussed leaks surrounding Nintendo’s plans, and with good reason – fans have been anticipating it for a long time.

This new game is set to be Nintendo’s biggest release this holiday season. With the next Pokémon game not coming until next year and rumors pointing to a 2027 release for a new 3D Mario, all eyes are on this title. Leaks suggest it’s not simply an updated version of a classic, but a completely new game built upon the story and world of Ocarina of Time.

The New 3D Mario For Switch 2 Could Finally Get Teased

Nintendo recently celebrated Mario’s 40th anniversary, and there might be one more big surprise coming this summer: a new 3D Mario game. Many Nintendo fans are hoping to hear about both the Switch 2 and the next 3D Mario adventure, as it’s been almost ten years since the release of Super Mario Odyssey.

Following the success of the Super Mario movie earlier this year, many expect Nintendo to soon announce the next 3D Super Mario game. While rumors suggest the game won’t be released until next year, Nintendo will likely begin promoting it before the end of this year to generate excitement.
