News - Nintendo Switch 2: New rumors about an imminent launch date

When will Nintendo finally present the Switch 2 in detail? Now there are increasing signs of a new date, which should be in the near future.

For a long time it was expected that Nintendo would present the Switch successor in 2024, but in the last few months it has been reported several times that the Japanese have said goodbye to this plan - especially in order not to completely ruin the Christmas business with the previous Switch . This information obviously turns out to be correct, because the Switch 2 will probably not be officially presented in detail until 2025.

Now there are increasing signs in the rumor mill that we probably won't have to wait too long. A leaker who has been reliable in the past has now brought a new potential introduction date into play at the beginning of the new year.

What is meant in this case isCentro Leaks, a Chinese leaker who, among other things, accurately leaked the date and content of the Nintendo Direct in June of this year, so he seems to be pretty well connected when it comes to Nintendo. This insider has now started a countdown that ends on January 8, 2025. It is fitting that he has previously stated that Nintendo would introduce the Switch 2 in January and then bring it onto the market in March 2025. Accordingly, there is now great excitement in the Nintendo scene, which is expecting the announcement of the Switch 2 in the first week after the Christmas holidays.

For the moment, however, caution is still advised, because far too often there have been leaks surrounding the launch of the Switch 2 in the past, which unfortunately turned out to be untrue. Given the source, the omens are certainly not bad this time, but an official announcement of the date remains to be seen.

The Switch 2 should be significantly more powerful and can also compete with the current platforms from Sony and Microsoft. The design should be largely based on the previous Switch, but will have a larger display as well as magentic Joy-Cons. Mario Kart 9 could be a launch title for the new hardware.
