The Nintendo Switch successor may be revealed as early as later this month, according to a new report shared online earlier today.
According to what unspecified sources revealed to startmenu, Nintendo plans to reveal its next gaming hardware at this year's edition of Gamescom, which is being held from August 23rd to August 27th in Cologne, Germany. Apparently, startmenu received this information last month but only felt comfortable sharing it now following other recent reports regarding the next console by Nintendo, as several details from these reports aligned with what this unspecified source revealed.
While we have to take everything revealed today with a grain of salt, there are a few things that suggest that the Nintendo Switch successor may indeed be revealed at Gamescom. For the first time in a few years, Nintendo is officially back at the European event, so it may take advantage of it to show what's in store for the future beyond the few games launching on the current Switch in the next few months.
Even if the console is not getting revealed this month, the Nintendo Switch reveal is not too far off, considering recent reports. We will keep you updated on the matter as soon as more come in on it, so stay tuned for all the latest news.
