Nintendo Switch 2 could be revealed on January 16

According to leaks, the Nintendo Switch 2 may be revealed on January 16, focusing on hardware with a release expected by mid-2025.

If recent leaks are to be believed, the much-anticipated Nintendo Switch 2 may finally be unveiled on January 16. Speculation about Nintendoโ€™s next-generation console has been building for weeks, with numerous reports hinting at an imminent announcement.

New rumours suggest a hardware-focused reveal

The latest rumour comes from well-known leaker NateTheHate, who shared the potential reveal date in a recent video. According to Nate, the announcement will primarily focus on the hardware without directly mentioning new games. However, he speculated that the presentation might include footage of unreleased titles, though none would be officially named. Additionally, Nate stated that Switch 2 will launch sometime in May or June.

A report from the Video Games Chronicle (VGC), whose sources corroborate Nateโ€™s information, supports this claim. This follows Nintendo’s established pattern, as the original Switch was revealed through a hardware-focused trailer in 2016, well before the announcement of its launch titles.

Tom Warren, has also hinted that a Switch 2 reveal is on the horizon. With multiple sources aligning on the details, it seems increasingly likely that an official announcement could come this week.

Nintendo addresses leaks and provides a timeline

Adding fuel to the fire, Nintendo has addressed some recent leaks. At CES 2025, the company dismissed a circulating mockup of the alleged console as “unofficial,” according to a report from IGN. Meanwhile, Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa confirmed in May 2024 that an announcement for the next console would occur “within this fiscal year.”

This timeline aligns with the rumoured January reveal and supports expectations of a release window in late spring or early summer 2025. Fans of the original Nintendo Switch, launched in 2017, are eager to see how its successor will build on its legacy of innovation and success.

For now, youโ€™ll have to wait for official confirmation from Nintendo, but if the leaks are accurate, you wonโ€™t have to wait much longer to get your first glimpse of the Nintendo Switch 2.
