The time of the Nintendo Switch could be coming to an end. The possibility of a Switch 2 being on the way is getting stronger, especially considering the latest rumour.

Following its debut in 2017, the Switch has soared, selling over 130 million units worldwide. Even in the face of all the competition, it has dominated the handheld console market. But it’s no secret that the Switch is falling behind. Nintendo needs to announce the new hardware to keep the revenue coming. The question is: will the company finally reveal it in 2024?

“If the Switch 2 is aiming for an early 2024 announcement and later 2024 release, it makes sense the marketing campaign is already underway,” the Redditor concluded their post.

Interestingly, the details regarding the ad shoot and its deadline are still available to read on this link. The description clearly mentions that the duration for shooting the commercial was between October 13 and November 1.

Even on the last day of 2023, it looks like there’s no lack of Nintendo Switch 2 rumors for fans before heading into 2024. Not to mention that a few days ago, a renowned insider had claimed for an announcement for the console by the Japanese giant. He had posted on X that the device would be announced before Christmas. However, that didn’t happen.

All things considered, it appears that Nintendo will reveal the next handheld device when they decide the time is right. When it will make it happen is something no one actually knows right now. Hardcore fans will have to be patient while waiting for the right time. Hopefully 2024 will give them a big surprise.
