While there is still no official word on the whereabouts of the ‘Switch 2’, sources for both Eurogamer<\/a> and VGC<\/a> have reported that demos for Nintendo’s next console were shown at this year’s Gamescom.<\/p>\n

The reports state that the Switch successor was shown to selected developers behind closed doors during the event, supposedly with the former console’s launch title, Breath of the Wild<\/a>, running on the follow-up’s more powerful specs. Both outlets stress, however, that there is no suggestion that the title will be re-released.<\/p>\n

A further source for VGC claimed that Nintendo demoed Epic’s The Matrix Awakens<\/strong> Unreal Engine 5 demo on the ‘Switch 2’ \u2014 the project formally used to showcase the power of the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X back in 2021<\/a>.<\/p>\n

According to the VGC report, the console demo’s visuals were comparable to the current-gen offerings from both Sony and Microsoft, running with Nvidia’s DLSS upscaling technology with advanced ray tracing enabled.<\/p>\n

Apart from that, we still know very little about what form the console will take. VGC sources suggested that the demoed equipment could be used in a handheld mode much like the current Switch, though that seems like a no-brainer at this point.<\/p>\n

Nintendo is still yet to announce anything about its follow-up console for the time being, though the latest rumour suggested that the company would be targeting a late 2024 release<\/a> \u2014 only time will tell…<\/p>\n
