The successor to the Nintendo Switch will be revealed this week, an industry insider has claimed. Rumours and leaks about the Nintendo Switch 2 have intensified ahead of launch, with several sources claiming an official announcement on the hybrid console could be right around the corner.
Nintendo is said to be ready to unveil the Switch 2 as soon as January 16. The information comes from tipster Nate the Hate, known for industry scoops and accurate predictions about launches.
In the latest edition of his podcast Monday, he claimed he had been told the Nintendo Switch 2 would be revealed on Thursday, January 16.
He also shared a few details about the possible reveal event, claiming he had partial knowledge of what one could expect from Nintendo. “What I've heard is that the reveal itself is going to focus almost exclusively on the console itself,” the tipster said. “There is not going to be any presence of games.” Nate the Hate's claims were backed by other publications, as well.
The Verge's Tom Warren said on X Monday that the Switch 2 would be revealed this week. A Eurogamer report, too, claimed that industry sources had pointed to a January 16 reveal for Nintendo's next console.
