There is still no official information about the release of the Nintendo Switch 2. Apparently, the console should be released in spring 2025. However, according to new rumors, this will not happen.
Nintendo fans are currently in an information vacuum: Any notable information about the new Nintendo Switch There is no such thing. Rumors crop up regularly, and as much as one can doubt the veracity of them, it ensures that fans can bridge the time until the official announcement. Until now, the scene agreed that spring 2025 would be the most likely time for the release of the Nintendo Switch 2. But a new leak is shaking that up. Everything might turn out completely differently - and that would be bad news for fans if the assumptions are correct.
Nintendo Switch 2: Production delays?
The previously assumed timetable based on the circulating rumors sounded promising: The Nintendo Switch 2 to be officially announced soon and then released in March or April 2025. Fans have been very keen to use these leaks recently, as this meant a short wait for the new console. This seems to be a long time in view of the age of the Nintendo Switch also seems to be long overdue. However, time is running out with each passing day - and the chances of a release in spring 2025 are dwindling.
In a post on Famiboards, which has recently been the source of a growing number of rumors and leaks, something new has now emerged. The user “RandomlyRandom67” stated that he had details about the deliveries of the supposedly necessary Components for the Nintendo Switch 2.
The suspected problem: mass production is said not to have started in August. This is what industry insiders have previously assumed. Ultimately, the start of the production phase has a huge impact on the release of the console and thus also on the date on which the Nintendo Switch 2 will be released. According to the new rumor, mass production has still not started. This in turn would make a release in spring 2025 quite unlikely, as supply bottlenecks at the launch of the new console would then be almost unavoidable.
In addition, if the rumor is true, even a release in the first half of 2025 could be in jeopardy.
At least: According to reports, production of the Nintendo Switch 2 is at least set to ramp up, which is ultimately the right path towards the necessary mass production. One important basic assumption at least speaks in favor of the theory of the lack of mass production so far: information should presumably leak out when this important point in time is reached. So far, however, there has been a great deal of silence here too.
If Nintendo has indeed delayed ramping up production capacity, this could release of the Nintendo Switch 2 This could have an adverse effect. The console may not be released until autumn or winter of next year. A release in the summer months seems rather unlikely for a release of this magnitude.
This time, the information is not official. Fans will have to continue to be patient. Nintendo will have to decide to announce the Nintendo Switch 2 sooner or later.
