When can we expect to hear about the new and improved Nintendo Switch 2? Just when we thought the rumors of a potential announcement this month were put to rest, reliable sources have come forward claiming that it may still happen.
Last Friday, it seemed like all the speculation surrounding a Switch 2 reveal later this month had been put to rest. A reputable source, who had previously been proven correct about the PS5 Pro, suggested that Nintendo was simply planning to announce a new hardware bundle for the Nintendo Switch OLED Model. This explanation seemed plausible, especially since the source themselves were not entirely convinced. However, the same sources are now more certain and are insisting that the Switch 2 reveal is indeed happening soon.
During the VGC podcast, journalist Andy Robinson shared that he had heard from three to five different sources that something related to the Switch 2 will be happening this week. However, he also admitted that he was not more than 50% sure of their accuracy. Fellow journalist Chris Dring from GamesIndustry.biz also claimed to have heard from multiple sources at Gamescom that the reveal will take place this month. While both are experienced and reliable journalists, the fact that Robinson is not fully convinced of the information means that we cannot take anything for granted.
Robinson did mention that he expects the Switch 2 to be launched in April or May, which would make a reveal this year more likely. However, there may be some changes to the planned reveal event as publishers often make last-minute modifications to details and dates. This means that even Nintendo may not have a definite idea of when the announcement will happen.
Although Nintendo is known for keeping their projects under wraps, leaks are still possible, especially in the case of the highly anticipated Switch 2. Since many developers from around the world are already working on games for the new console, they may have an idea of its expected launch date. Additionally, if other publishers are involved in the reveal to showcase the console's third-party support, there is a higher chance for information to slip out.
Despite the earlier rumor of no reveal this month, and instead a new OLED hardware bundle, seeming more believable, it is still unclear what Nintendo has in store. With a strong lineup of games set to release this year, it is all becoming a bit confusing. As always, we will only know for sure once Nintendo makes an official announcement.
As usual, Nintendo remains as mysterious as ever.
