A trusted Nintendo leaker has sparked speculation of a January Switch 2 reveal with a mysterious countdown.
We’re just one day away from Christmas, but it seems that the Nintendo rumor mill isn’t taking a holiday break. If you’ve been following the chatter around the highly anticipated Nintendo Switch 2, you’ll know it’s been a rollercoaster of leaks, rumors, and speculation.
From whispers about upgraded hardware to leaked images of Joy-Con accessories, the excitement is at an all-time high. Fans are hungry for official news, and rumors of a January reveal event have only added fuel to the fire.
Now, a new development has surfaced. A trusted Chinese insider, known for accurately leaking Nintendo’s June Direct earlier this year, has started a cryptic countdown on the Chinese social media platform Weibo.
The countdown, which is being closely followed by fans on Reddit and elsewhere, is adding yet another layer of intrigue to the growing mountain of Switch 2 rumors.
Is This A Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal Event Countdown From Trusted Leaker?
Today’s big rumor comes from a Chinese Weibo user named “荷姆荷姆喼,” who has a track record of leaking accurate insider information about Nintendo. Earlier this year, this insider leaked the entire Nintendo Direct lineup for June with pinpoint accuracy, as well as claimed that Switch 2 could be revealed in January 2025 with a March 2025 launch date.
Now, they’re back with a series of cryptic Weibo posts, featuring Fibonacci sequence numbers. These posts have led fans to believe the countdown ends on January 8, 2025.
Here’s the breakdown: Since December 21, the leaker has been posting numbers in the Fibonacci sequence. Fans on Reddit have done the math and concluded that this countdown might be hinting at the rumored January reveal event for the Switch 2.
“A Chinese Weibo leaker, 荷姆荷姆嗼, who previously leaked the entire June Nintendo Direct, has been counting down using Fibonacci sequence numbers since December 21,” the Reddit post reads. “Based on this pattern, the countdown will end on January 8.”
“The leaker previously claimed that the Switch 2 could be revealed in January, so this might hint at its announcement date.”
It’s worth noting that other insiders and journalists have also hinted at a January reveal. Some believe it could happen as early as the start of the new year, while others suggest mid-January.
As with any rumor, we suggest taking everything with a grain of salt until officially confirmed. This new countdown rumor comes on the heels of a flood of Switch 2 leaks over the past few months.
We’ve seen leaked images of Joy-Con accessories from third-party manufacturers, suggesting possible design changes. Reports from insiders also claim that the console’s hardware will be “very capable” of running modern AAA games, hinting at a significant performance leap over the original Switch.
However, as of now, Nintendo remains tight-lipped about any official plans for a Switch 2 reveal event. While leaks and rumors are thrilling, they’re no substitute for an official announcement—and fans are eagerly waiting for Nintendo to break the silence.
