That’s according to noted insider Kelios, who suggested on the Resetera forum this weekend that the Direct could take place on Monday, July 20. The user has previously leaked accurate timings related to Nintendo Directs, including the Direct Mini that took place in March this year.
The timing would put the Direct beyond the release of Paper Mario: The Origami King, which remains the firm’s only major release confirmed for the rest of the year.
Since 2013, Nintendo has streamed regular Nintendo Direct presentations to update consumers on its product plans. However, complications around remote working have contributed to the company deciding to push back its schedule in 2020.
Nintendo did not hold a June Nintendo Direct this year and there hasn’t been a full Direct broadcast since September 2019, with the platform holder instead deciding to air smaller streams mostly focused on individual titles such as Animal Crossing and Smash Bros.
Sources had previously told VGC and publication VentureBeat that Nintendo could hold back its next full Direct until as late as August or September.
Last month, the company’s president Shuntaro Furukawa reaffirmed its commitment to the Direct model, telling investors that it believes the live-streamed presentations are still an effective means of communication.
