The Switch 2 may be announced on the week of October 28, an established Nintendo insider has said. This claim isn't the only recent indication that the reveal of Nintendo's much-anticipated device is finally imminent.

The source of the rumor itself is Brazilian journalist Pedro Henrique Lutti Lippe. He's the one who broke the story of the Switch 2 being delayed to 2025 earlier this year, which was one of the biggest Nintendo-related scoops of 2024.

The Nintendo Switch 2 Faces a Busy 2025, But It Could Yet Turn the Tables

If the Nintendo Switch 2 has plans to launch next year, it will face some big competition, but there may be a way for it to make a name for itself.

During his latest YouTube livestream, Lippe once again discussed the Switch successor, and even went as far as to attempt to narrow down its reveal date.

Lippe's newest prediction is in line with the insights that he shared in early October 2024, when he said he expects the Switch 2 to be revealed before the end of the month. This time around, the Brazilian journalist pointed to the fact that Nintendo has an earnings report scheduled for November 5, speculating that the company might want to announce the Switch successor before it inevitably faces investor questions about the device during its upcoming earnings calls.

As always, rumors of this nature are best taken with a grain of salt, even when they come from reliable sources. And while Lippe's track record with Nintendo scoops is more than solid, it still isn't spotless. E.g., he was recently wrong about a Nintendo Direct happening in April 2024, which he later admitted was something he was too eager to share without properly verifying first.

Another Well-Known Nintendo Leaker Seems To Be Teasing Something

Lippe's latest prediction isn't the only recent indication that Nintendo may have some big news to share soon. Around the time the Brazilian journalist was discussing the potential Switch 2 reveal window live on stream, well-known Nintendo leaker Pyoro changed their Twitter account name to the "
