Nintendo Switch 2 logo leaks as hopes grow for January reveal
Is there room for a 2? (Nintendo)Leaks of Nintendos next console have continued to snowball, with an insider posting what appears to be the Switch 2 logo on X.Nintendo Switch 2 leaks have accelerated to an everyday occurrence over the past few weeks, with images showing the console itself, the dock, and the seemingly magnetic Joy-Cons.These leaks have only grown in volume since the start of 2025, with replicas of the console and a rumoured April launch date recently popping up at CES in Las Vegas.If that wasnt enough, another insider has now seemingly outed the logo for Nintendos next console, suggesting a reveal might be imminent.The logo comes from Universo Nintendo editor-in-chief Necro Felipe Lima, who claims to have seen the logo after being sent a photo of the console from a reliable source.In a post on X, Necro shared a recreation of the logo based on what I saw and respecting the measurements, which you can see below.As you can see, the logo itself is basically exactly the same as the original Switch, only with a massive 2 latched onto it, which is probably exactly what you would expect.If its real, the logo confirms the console will actually be called the Nintendo Switch 2, which is what the system has already been dubbed by fans.While the alleged leaks havent left much to the imagination around the console itself, the big question is when it will be revealed. Nintendo has said it will be shown before April, and various insiders have suggested January as a strong possibility.This has been further supported by insider Nintendeal, who wrote on X that they were now 99% sure the Switch 2 will be officially revealed this month, after changing his mind based on new, but unspecified, information.While January is a reasonable assumption anyone can make (theres only three months left to choose from, after all), the sheer amount of leaks might force Nintendo to make some sort of announcement soon even if that wasnt their original intention.A reliable insider has claimed an announcement around Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition is set to arrive this week, leaving a late January reveal for the Switch 2 as the most likely timing.More TrendingAs for when the console will launch, speculation has varied greatly from as early as April to somewhere between late May and June.
