Nintendo Switch 2 Release Rumors Spark Excitement
Nintendo fans may have something to look forward to sooner than expected, as hints of a new Switch iteration have surfaced in a recent press release.
PlayStation LifeStyle shared details from a press release for the upcoming game Ruffy and the Riverside, revealing a line that mentioned the game’s launch on various platforms including “Nintendo Switch(es).” This vague reference suggests that the beloved handheld console may soon see a new version in addition to the existing models like the OLED variant.
Nintendo Switch 2 Release Date Speculations
Further fueling the speculation, a rumor circulating on the Chinese social media platform Weibo suggests that the Nintendo Switch 2 could be unveiled as early as January 2025, with a potential release date set for March of the same year. The individual behind this leak has a proven track record of accurate predictions, adding weight to the rumor.
If these reports hold true, fans could see the successor to the original Switch hitting shelves sooner than anticipated. Considering that the first Switch debuted in March 2017, a similar release timeline for its successor seems plausible. With the anticipation building up over the years for a revamped version of the console, Nintendo may not need an extensive promotional period for the Switch 2.
