Yes, the next Nintendo Direct Live is speculated to occur during the final week of July. It will air after the release of Donkey Kong Bananza. The release of Metroid Prime 4: Beyond and Kirby Air Riders is anticipated after the live.
Is the next Nintendo Direct Live Confirmed to Happen This July?
The news of the next Nintendo Direct Live was claimed by the YouTuber Nate the Hate’s recent podcast episode (NintendoLife). He said that the Direct will air at the end of July, probably after the release of Donkey Kong Bananza on Switch 2.
Nate the Hate also stated that he has no additional information about the Nintendo Direct Live dates. The prediction is that the live broadcast could occur before the August releases. The reason could be to avoid the clash with the official release of Drag x Drive, EA SPORTS Madden NFL 26, Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road, Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition, Kirby and the Forgotten Land – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Star-Crossed World. Furthermore, Nintendo’s three-month earnings report is scheduled for August 1st.
Many also look forward to Nintendo launching new titles, as well as confirming the release dates of existing ones. Gaming influencers speculate that Nintendo wants to keep people excited and looped to push the sales of the Switch 2.
Nintendo or its officials have not confirmed the Switch 2 Direct Live. However, fans and players are eagerly waiting for Direct Live and are anticipating new updates and releases. Nintendo has only confirmed a broadcast release in July 2022 for Pokémon Presents. We will see whether more information about the upcoming games, prices, and other features will be shared through this broadcast.
