Leaker claims Switch 2 Direct happening at the end of the month

Following their big Nintendo Switch 2 Direct which showcased the likes of Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bananza, there have been various leaks and rumours on when Nintendo will host its next video games showcase. Echoing reports from late last month, insiders are claiming that a Direct is set to take place during the final few days of July.

Following a report from late last month which claimed that a Nintendo Direct is planned for July, known industry insider NateTheHate published a video reaffirming this fact while narrowing down the window for when it will take place exactly.

According to Nate: “I have been told there is a Nintendo Direct this month, the month of July, but that Direct will not take place until AFTER Donkey Kong Bananza releases.”

Of course, Donkey Kong Bananza is set to arrive in just a few days on Thursday the 17th of July, and so in giving that game some time to breath, Nate believes that the showcase will take place “probably the last week of July because Friday of that week is August 1, which is a Nintendo Earning Report Day.”

Of course, all this should be taken with a pinch of salt, with Nate himself clarifying that “All I can say right now is that there is a Direct this month and it'll be after Donkey Kong Bananza releases.”

As with most showcases nowadays, Nintendo gives relatively little heads up prior to the show going live, and so we will likely have to wait until around the 26th-7th to hear anything official – assuming the timeline is as Nate believes.
