Nintendo Switch 2 getting sequel we've been begging for, says insider

Nintendo Switch 2 getting sequel we've been begging for, says insider

This remains very speculatory

A successor to the Nintendo Switch still hasn’t been announced, although Nintendo could do with debuting a reveal soon.

Every time I think the rumour mill simply cannot intensify, it does.

The internet is rife with glimpses at the console’s supposed specs, components, and appearance.

And given the mounting evidence, it’s likely that there are a few glimmers of truth in what we’re seeing.

It’s in Nintendo’s best interest to put a stop to the speculation, unveiling the console in its full glory.

For now though, all we know officially is that a reveal is coming by April 2025.

In the meantime, I have yet another rumour to fill you in on.

Rather than specs though, this one concerns a potential title launching on the console in the coming years.

Rather unexpectedly, it appears as if we may finally be receiving a sequel to 2015’s Wii U title Xenoblade Chronicles X.

Pokémon Legends Z-A is one game that’ll definitely be launching on both the Nintendo Switch and its successor.

This rumour comes from Twitter user NWeedle who posted the Xenoblade franchise’s release history, writing, “2025 Switch: Xenoblade Chronicles X DE,” followed by, “Xenoblade Chronicles X2?”

Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition is something that’s definitely coming, launching on 20 March.

What it feels like is happening here is that NWeedle is speculating that that’ll be followed by a sequel.

I imagine his thought process was “Why else would Nintendo be suddenly releasing a Definitive Edition of the game after 10 years?”, and while I see the logic in that line of thinking, I want to urge you to take all of this with a large pinch of salt.

There’s no concrete proof to support this theory - simply methodical speculation.

If Xenoblade Chronicles X2 does exist, and that’s a big hefty if, it likely won’t be launching for another couple of years.

Xenoblade launches are typically spaced two to three years apart, so X2 certainly wouldn’t land the same year as the already confirmed Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition.

As I said though, this is all airing very much on the speculative side so if you are a Xenoblade fan, I’d simply cross your fingers instead of investing too much stock in this one.
