The Nintendo Switch 2 is rumored to be on the verge of an official announcement. A major third-party game developer has reportedly confirmed the console’s reveal for January 2025, with "modern AAA titles" expected to be available in the same year.
January 2025 Reveal
According to @NintenTalk, a trusted leaker, a major developer source has stated that the Nintendo Switch 2 will be revealed in January. This information is supported by NintendoPrime on X, who also hinted that the Switch 2 announcement is imminent.
The source mentioned by @NintenTalk also stated “get ready to play modern AAA titles on your Switch 2 in 2025”.
Potential Release Date
While the January reveal now seems likely, the actual release date remains unknown. However, we can speculate based on Nintendo's past actions:
- The original Nintendo Switch was first shown in October 2016 and then a detailed look came in January 2017 followed by release on March 3, 2017.
- A similar schedule could see the Switch 2 release in March 2025 following its January reveal.
- Given that the console will supposedly be capable of running "modern AAA titles," it's likely that the Switch 2 will launch with a number of significant games.
Nintendo Switch 2 fans are in for an exciting few weeks. Hopefully, the new console will meet expectations and offer a compelling experience with its games.
