Nintendo has announced that it won’t be presenting at Gamescom 2024, according to statements from Nintendo of Europe and Nintendo UK. Although typically a regular participant at the popular gaming event, the company has opted out in 2024 after thorough consideration from all perspectives. However, this doesn’t completely rule out any upcoming reveals in the same year, as Nintendo has historically presented new releases on various platforms and not just live events.
The absence of Nintendo at Gamescom 2024 also implies that the anticipated Nintendo Switch 2 will not have its grand debut at the event. It’s worth noting that Nintendo hasn’t released any big reveals at this gaming event in previous years. It showed the prospective Nintendo Switch 2 privately to developers, further enhancing the anticipation for its 2025 launch. The company built up intrigue for the official announcement owing to its former tendency to unveil products by releasing short promotional videos on its YouTube channel rather than grand live events.
While Nintendo has yet to confirm the date for the Switch 2 announcement, rumors indicate that it will follow the original Switch’s announcement strategy, much to the excitement of the fans. Gamescom 2024, which will take place between August 21-25, continues to prepare for its annual event in Cologne, Germany, with other unidentified developers and publishers predicted to participate.
