Here's a statement that surprises no-one: the Nintendo Switch is a hugely popular console. And given the trend of previous Nintendo consoles, a sequel is surely on the horizon.
Here's a statement that may surprise you: recently, an insider at Nintendo claimed that the Nintendo Switch 2 will be announced sometime this year, with a full release sometime in 2025.
As discussed on Gamerant, this insider has a reputation to uphold. He's leaked Switch 2 information before, which turned out accurate. Now, he stakes that reputation on a 2024 reveal.
Based on other leaked information, a claim like this is certainly plausible. Not too long ago, images of a Switch 2 prototype leaked onto the internet, alongside hardware details.
We even have a hint at what this console's major gimmick will be.
Current estimates for the console's release date put it somewhere in 2025, so a 2024 announcement would certainly fit into the timeline.
The Long Wait for Nintendo Switch 2 Information
It's no secret that the hype train for the Switch 2 has long since left the station.
Nintendo hasn't given people a lot of information to work with, and we all know how speculation thrives in that...
