Nintendo Switch 2 Release Date Leaked Ahead of Official Reveal
The official release of the Nintendo Switch 2 is soon to be announced. The reveal is expected on April 2nd. However, it seems the surprise might be somewhat spoiled. Everyone is waiting with bated breath. Infamous leaker Tom Henderson has apparently leaked major details about the console's release date.
Nintendo Switch 2 Launch Window: June 2025?
So what's the news in Henderson's view? Based on reports from a range of sources, he is suggesting that the Nintendo Switch 2 will be hitting shelves in June 2025. That's wait and see, but it gives us a potential target date to look forward to.
Potential Game Release Schedule
Henderson did not stop there. He also outlined a potential multi-stage release schedule for games on the new console:
- July 2025: First-party Nintendo games will be arriving.
- Fall 2025: Third-party games might start to pop up.
- Winter 2025: A larger burst of game releases should follow.
Development Kits and Journalist Previews
Interestingly, Henderson reports that Nintendo may be withholding shipping development kits to numerous partners until after the console itself ships. But it appears some journalists will receive a preview soon – maybe even next week. Expect a flood of first impressions and hands-on previews to appear online after that.
Official Announcement on April 2nd
Of course, recall that this is all from an insider source and not word officially from Nintendo. The actual information – confirmed release date, cost, and the rest – is to be unveiled during the official Nintendo presentation on April 2nd. For now, let speculation reign.
