It seems Nintendo’s entire 2026 launch plans have been leaked all over the net at this point. It has probably formed a new (Re)search and Destroy 1 team to crack down on the Nabbit stealing its secrets, but it’s probably too late to save any major surprises for this year, and we aren’t done yet.
Not only have some of the internet’s more reliable sources already more or less confirmed the major holiday title, a super special edition Switch 2 console release, and what will arguably be Nintendo’s big first-party summer release, but we also have hints on some new Switch 2 Edition games and third-party ports too.
Here’s a quick recap of the major leaked details that have already made headlines:
- There will be no mainline/major Nintendo Direct showcases until June
- New Switch 2 Star Fox game rumored to launch this summer
- Upcoming The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time Remake for Switch 2
- Upcoming Zelda Ocarina of Time Remake Switch 2 special edition console
- Splatoon Raiders will release in the coming months
- Rhythm Heaven: Groove will release in the coming months
- Fire Emblem: Fortune Weave will release in the coming months
- Pikmin 4 Switch 2 Edition will release in the coming months
- Xenoblade 2 Switch 2 Edition will release in the coming months
- There will be no new 3D Mario game releasing until 2027
Okay, that’s a lot and probably more than enough to have Nintendo fuming mad at this point, but there have also been a series of other third-party release leaks that have been floating around largely by way of early listings spotted on ratings sites:
Hell Is Us – the North American Entertainment Software Rating Board has listed this one for Switch 2, according to reports. This is usually a good indication we can expect the game sooner than later, although it did take Assassin’s Creed Shadows several months to land after its Switch 2 ratings were spotted.
Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival – this one was also spotted with a Switch 2 ESRB rating.
Devil May Cry 5 – A Switch 2 Edition (or something along those lines) for Devil May Cry 5 was spotted on a Taiwanese rating board, suggesting the fifth mainline DmC title will be landing on the latest Switch hardware at some point and potentially even this year.
Switch Sports for Switch 2 – this one was briefly mentioned byNateTheHate – the fella who appears to be responsible for just about all of the latest major Nintendo leaks – but it was really only in passing. The leaker seems to think something is happening with Switch Sports this summer, but was unclear whether we are talking about a proper Switch 2 Sports title, a re-release, or something else along those.
Duskbloods – the already announced FromSoftware Switch 2 exclusive is yet to receive an actual release date. It is excepted to launch some time this year already – recent leaks have suggested we are looking at a possible summer launch, but more likely something closer to October 2026.
Again, we cannot confirm any of this, and any amount of it could be entirely true, or entirely not. But we are talking about some leakers with really solid track records here.
