Nintendo may deny the successor to the Change exists however eight% of developers polled stated they're already engaged on games for it.
The Nintendo Switch will probably be seven years previous in March and it's very obvious to everybody that Nintendo is planning a alternative – nicknamed the Change 2 by fans – that may very in all probability be launched this yr.
They've even hinted at it themselves, despite denying all rumours and pretending publicly, and for the sake of their 2023 Christmas sales, that no such console exists.
There have been stories, but not proof, of developers receiving devkits (the hardware wanted to make new video games) as far back as 2021 but the perfect proof that the Change 2 exists is that over 240 developers have admitted they're already working on it.
Those developers can be hung, drawn, and quartered by Nintendo's legal professionals in the event that they stated something about it publicly however over three,000 of them crammed in the 2024 State of the Industry survey for GDC (Recreation Builders Convention) and eight% indicated they have been already engaged on a Change 2 recreation.
Lots of these are more likely to be engaged on the same recreation, so it's not 240 separate titles, nevertheless it's nonetheless a surprisingly giant number, especially as it's more likely to contain a disproportionate number of Western, moderately than Japanese, developers.
Though Nintendo will solely have confided in certain builders, all that do know concerning the console may have had to signal strict NDAs. Whereas some may have felt filling in a survey like this didn't break it, others could have been extra cautions, so the quantity who're working on video games, that crammed on this survey, is more likely to be significantly greater than 240.
Naturally, no one stated anything – it was solely a survey, masking many various subjects – however another question about what format developers probably the most had the Change 2 in third place, at 32%, behind the PlayStation 5 (41%) and PC (62%).
It was a number of selection, which is why the odds don't add up, but even so, considering it's not out but and lots of developers will presently know nothing about it, that's an fascinating end result.

The only means we'll know for positive what's happening with the Change 2 is when Nintendo make an official announcement, nevertheless it's very onerous to guess when that could be.
A new Nintendo Direct has been predicted in the next few weeks however it'll virtually definitely concentrate on the 2024 slate for the current Change.
The perfect guess is probably some type of on-line reveal occasion in the summer however with no rumours to go on the announcement might actually happen at any moment.
