The Nintendo Switch 2 will reportedly release in June

While Nintendo has not yet announced a release date for the Switch 2 console, a new leak indicates that we'll be getting that news very soon, as pre-orders are due to go live in April. 

Insider Gaming received documentation from a ‘large US retailer', revealing the launch strategy for the Nintendo Switch 2. If this leak is accurate, Nintendo will open up pre-orders for the Switch 2 on April 9th, one week after the next Switch 2 Nintendo Direct stream, which takes place on April 2nd.

The pre-orders would be two months ahead of a June launch date for the new console. Unfortunately, it is also reported that this retailer is expecting to run out of pre-order stock on day-one. That could mean that Nintendo is still reserving a lot of stock for its direct-to-consumer store.

Nintendo will officially announce new details about the Switch 2 on the 2nd of April. So far, no leaks have discussed the Switch 2 launch line-up of games, so hopefully Nintendo will have some news on that front during the next Direct too.
