A purported Nintendo Switch 2 logo leak may have revealed the console's official name. Rumors and leaks surrounding Nintendo's next-generation console have been circulating since President Shuntaro Furukawa confirmed its existence earlier in 2024. A full unveiling is anticipated before March 2025, with a launch expected later this year.
The timing of the new console's release has been widely speculated since Furukawa's May 2024 announcement, but Nintendo has remained relatively quiet. While the name "Nintendo Switch 2" isn't officially confirmed, most leaks point towards this being the case. Many rumors suggest a design similar to the current Switch, making a direct sequel branding unsurprising.
According to Comicbook, a logo has surfaced online. Shared on Bluesky by Universo Nintendo's Necro Felipe, the logo closely resembles the original Switch logo, featuring stylized Joy-Con controllers above "Nintendo Switch." The key difference? A "2" positioned beside the Joy-Cons, seemingly confirming the "Nintendo Switch 2" moniker.
Is "Switch 2" the Official Name?
Despite this, verification is still pending, and some doubt the "Nintendo Switch 2" name. Nintendo's past console naming conventions have been less predictable, with the Wii U being a notable exception. The Wii U's unconventional name is often cited as a factor in its lower sales, possibly prompting a more straightforward approach for the Switch's successor.
Previous leaks appear to support Felipe's logo and name, but gamers should remain cautious until official confirmation. A recent social media post hints at a potentially imminent reveal.
