An insider recently hinted at the release ofLuigi’s Mansion 4on the Nintendo Switch 2. While the next entry in theLuigi’s Mansionseries has not been officially announced by Nintendo yet, previous reports have indicated that the title is likely in development, and this new rumor could be exciting for fans eager to get their hands on a new game in the franchise.
The firstLuigi’s Mansiongame was released in 2001 asone of the launch titles for the GameCube. It took a while before it gained a sequel, andLuigi’s Mansion: Dark Moonappeared only in 2013. After that, the series started to have more frequent appearances, with the mainline entryLuigi’s Mansion 3released in 2019 for the original Switch, along with remakes of older titles and theLuigi’s Mansion Arcadespin-off.
Now, leaker Nash Weedle has hinted thatLuigi’s Mansion 4will be “wild” when it releases for therecently launched Nintendo Switch 2. Weedle didn’t say much about the potentially upcoming title, but it was enough to excite gamers, who are curious to know more about the popular franchise after six years without a mainline entry. Unfortunately, details remain sparce, and it’s still unknown when the title will be released, though an announcement may be incoming.
Insider Teases Luigi’s Mansion 4 on the Nintendo Switch 2
If Weedle mentioned the game, the insider may know something the public does not, so it’s worth keeping an eye out forLuigi’s Mansion 4. However, it’s also important to acknowledge that Nintendo has not yet officially announced the game, and most of the information about the title’s existence is purely speculation at this point. Previous rumors from the well-known insiderZippohave indicated that the title would be twice the size of previous games, have “mind-blowing visuals,” and be released in the first half of 2026. Obviously, gamers should take both of these rumors with a huge grain of salt, though, as they are from unofficial sources.
So far,first-party titles are doing well on the Nintendo Switch 2, unlike third-party games, which seem to be struggling to be bought and played as much as the current leader,Mario Kart World. To keep up with this success, Nintendo will likely have some fresh first-party releases lined up for 2026.
For now,the upcomingDonkey Kong Bananzawill likely be another highlight of 2025 for Nintendo fans. The 3D platformer will be released on July 17, and it has been favorably compared toSuper Mario Galaxy. In the game, the hero Donkey Kong will team up with Pauline, who has special singing abilities.
