Game Industry Secrets: Why Major Devs Are Holding Back on Switch 2 Announcements!

This summer has unleashed a torrent of game announcements, yet the Nintendo Switch 2 remains conspicuously absent from the spotlight. Renowned video game insider Nate The Hate recently shared some intriguing insights in a fresh video, revealing that several prominent third-party developers are holding off on their game announcements for a variety of reasons. Some speculate that these developers have yet to lay their hands on the essential development kits, while others are biding their time, likely aiming for a grand reveal during an upcoming Nintendo Direct event. Alternatively, some may be waiting to gauge the Switch 2's market traction before diving in. Here’s a glimpse of what Nate had to say:

“Capcom, Sega, Ubisoft, Namco, and many others are just waiting. They have games they want to announce. Switch 2 has a lot of support coming.”
