Could we soon be seeing the highly anticipated reveal of the Nintendo Switch 2? After its absence at The Game Awards 2024, rumors have been swirling about the potential reveal of the next console. And according to recent reports, we might not have to wait much longer.
These rumors have been circulating for quite some time now, even before Nintendo officially confirmed the existence of the Switch 2. But after months and years of uncertainty, it seems that an official reveal is just around the corner. In fact, some sources claim to have already gotten their hands on the Switch 2 and are promising to share proof on Christmas Day.
So, when can we expect this reveal to take place? According to Chris Dring from GamesIndustry.biz, it could happen as early as the start of the new year. However, he also clarifies that this information is not from a direct source. "It's just chatter from other people they think, I'm told, it may even be right when the new year starts," he says on the latest episode of The GamesIndustry.biz Microcast.
But Dring is not the only one with this information. NintenTalk, a Twitch streamer specializing in Nintendo coverage, also believes that a Switch 2 reveal is slated for January. He claims to have heard this from a contact at a major third party developer, who added, "Get ready to play modern AAA offerings on your Nintendo system in 2025."
Other content creators, such as NintendoPrime and Samus Hunter, have also heard similar rumors and are expecting a January reveal. In fact, Samus Hunter even suggests that Nintendo may push the reveal forward due to all the recent accessory leaks. This lines up with a previous rumor from November, which also hinted at a January reveal.
The month of January makes perfect sense for the unveiling, as Nintendo has already stated that the Switch 2 will be shown by April 2025. This also aligns with reports that the console will be launched in either March or April. And to build up excitement, Nintendo will likely want a few months to promote the new console.
However, as we all know, Nintendo is known for changing their plans at any given moment. They have already delayed the Switch 2's release once to ensure a stronger line-up of launch games. And with potential tariffs on foreign-made goods under the new US presidency, this could also impact their launch plans.
But even with all the excitement surrounding the potential reveal of the Switch 2, Nintendo has assured fans that they still have plans for the current Switch even after its successor arrives. So, whether you are eagerly waiting for the Switch 2 or hoping for more updates on the current Switch, be sure to stay tuned for more information.
