Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal Expected on January 8, 2025

Rumors around an announcement of the Nintendo Switch 2 are heating up, with some saying we could hear about the long-awaited console in just a matter of weeks. Based on Fibonacci sequence numbers, a Chinese leaker named 荷姆荷姆嗼, who first came into the public eye back in June of this year after guessing every single one of the announced titles from a Nintendo Direct before it aired, has begun a countdown that anyone is welcome to join based on leaks he has posted to the Gaming Leaks and Rumors and Nintendo Switch 2 subreddits. This countdown ends on January 8, 2025, which has led many to speculate that this is the day that Nintendo will unveil the Switch 2.

Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal Rumored for January 8, 2025: Leaks and Countdown Raise Expectations

But once the countdown started to catch traction, the leaker deleted all their posts and changed their profile picture, claiming it was for something different. This sudden shift in development adds new layers of mystery to the rampant rumors that become an attempt to cover up or prevent identification.

All the buzz around a potential Switch 2 reveal has been amplified lately with leaks, including what supposedly are the first shots of the system itself and its dock. NextHandheld, the user who shared the images, claimed that the first image was of the console, though the validity of this image has been called into question. The second is a photo showing the dock, which looks more plausible and some believe may be authentic. That’s prompted plenty of talk online (though as with all leaks, take it with a healthy grain of salt, since nothing has formally been confirmed yet by Nintendo).

While the Nintendo Switch 2 has yet to be officially revealed, the leaks and culminating countdowns only point to the announcement being closer than ever before. Fans are salivating for confirmation from Nintendo, and with January 8th rapidly approaching, we should be hearing more. Check back for updates as they come in.
