Nintendo is expected to finally unveil Switch 2 in just a matter of days.
Industry whispers Eurogamer has heard over the past week have coalesced around a reveal this Thursday, 16th January, with a focus on the much-leaked console itself, rather than a deep dive into its software line-up.
Today, these whispers were first mentioned publicly by the Nate the Hate podcast, which previously leaked Microsoft’s multiplatform publishing plans. Writing on social media, The Verge’s Tom Warren confirmed he also understood Nintendo planned to reveal Switch 2 this week.
While Nintendo is yet to announce anything, and announcement plans are always subject to change, the growing sense that this week is – finally – the week we officially see Switch 2 for the first time fits with what Eurogamer has previously heard of Nintendo’s announcement timing.
