Multiple industry insiders have come forward to state that the Nintendo Switch 2 will be revealed this week, likely as a console trailer on January 16th.
NateTheHate shared that he expects the console will be unveiled January 16th. He didn’t predict many (if any) games being shown off in the reveal trailer, with the focus primarily being on the hardware. In his words, “software is not going to be the focus.” However, he also predicts Nintendo will hold an event in late-February or early-March to reveal software for the new console.
I can share with you that Nintendo Switch 2 will be revealed in the coming week… I have been told Switch 2 will be revealed on Thursday, January 16… just a few days from now. I’ve heard that the reveal itself is going to focus almost exclusively on the console itself. There is not going to be any presence of games. There could be a game shown running on the screen, depending on how the trailer is put together, but software is not going to be a focus.
Additionally, The Verge editor Tom Warren has just stated he also thinks the console reveal will be this week:
With reports of the Switch 2 being available on the black market, it seems Nintendo would be wise to hurry up and reveal the console.
In other news, the Video Game Chronicles is reporting that the Switch 2 will likely release in May or June 2025. This would contradict earlier reports of the console launching as early as March or April. As always, we won’t know unti Nintendo finally confirms the release date themselves.
