The year-end calendar for the Nintendo Switch 2 is taking shape... Nintendo will speak at a new Nintendo Direct, airing on Wednesday, September 9, 2026 at 4:00 PM, to unveil the winter lineup for its latest console. Over roughly 45 minutes, the publisher is expected to roll out trailers, new release dates, and fresh announcements, with content exclusively for the Switch 2.
What games can we expect from the September 2026 Nintendo Direct? No title has been officially announced for the show, but several winter releases stand as credible candidates. Nintendo Switch Sports Resort, slated for October 22, could tease details about its disciplines and multiplayer features. Final Fantasy Resonance, expected the same day, as well as the Switch 2 version of 007 First Light could also receive fresh footage.
All eyes are also turning to Professor Layton and the New World of Steam, still slated for 2026 with no firm date yet. A visible appearance could finally let Level-5 lay out its timetable. The Duskbloods, FromSoftware’s multiplayer title built exclusively for Switch 2, remains another option, alongside potential new optimized editions, unrevealed projects, or additions to the Nintendo Classics lineup. These games are expected or at least being considered, but their inclusion in the Direct remains uncertain.
The main broadcast will be followed by a roughly 110-minute Nintendo Treehouse: Live, featuring gameplay demos of several titles showcased during the Nintendo Direct. The event can be viewed on the Nintendo Direct portal and on Nintendo France's YouTube channel. Between new announcements and playthroughs, Nintendo will chiefly aim to highlight the winter lineup for the Switch 2.
