This is the rumor that ignited part of the Web this weekend. The release dates of several big Nintendo Switch 2 exclusives have reportedly been revealed in advance.
Despite a thunderous launch on a global scale, the Nintendo Switch 2 still has to prove itself, especially since its launch catalog was considered relatively timid. However, a few exclusives came to lay the first foundations, starting with Donkey Kong Bananzaa true technical showcase of the console. But it is the months to come, and Nintendo’s strategy that will accompany them, that will prove decisive. In any case, the year promises to be particularly busy. Between the ports of FF7 Remake and Elden Ring, but also Pokemon Pokopia, Yoshi and the Mysterious Book, The Duskblood and Fire Emblem Fortune’s Weave, the Nintendo Switch 2 will be able to count on a solid catalog to convince players who are still hesitant. And it looks like the Nintendo Switch 2 schedule is a little more precise. The release date of one of the next major exclusives has reportedly leaked. At least that’s what the Internet thinks.
A significant leak for the next Nintendo Switch 2 exclusives?
It’s no secret: Nintendo is preparing to make a series of speeches in February 2026. The Japanese publisher has gotten into the habit of organizing a Nintendo Direct at this time of the year, generally accompanied by a Pokemon Presents. The next meeting promises to be all the more unmissable as it should lift the veil on the Nintendo Switch 2 line-up for the months to come. Release dates and new information regarding the exclusives already announced are awaited, without forgetting a few surprises carefully kept for the occasion. But this weekend, the Internet was ablaze after a media outlet seemed to fan out the release dates of some of the console’s most anticipated titles, including The Duskbloods de FromSoftware et Fire Emblem Fortune’s Weave.
The Portuguese branch of Eurogamer has in fact listed the tactical-RPG for the 22nd of 2026while The Duskbloods is mentioned there with a release set for July 10, 2026. Enough to immediately fuel rumors and conversations on social networks, but on closer inspection, it looks like a serious mix-up. In fact, only two Nintendo Switch 2 games with officially confirmed release dates appear on this list, and both are incorrect.
Should we believe it?
Mario Tennis Fever, long announced for February 12, 2026, appears there with a release postponed to May 12, 2026. Same observation for Pokemon Pokopia, expected March 5, 2026, but here displayed on March 14. Whether it is a human error or a haphazard use of AI, difficult to give the slightest credit to this supposed “leak”. To find out the real release dates of the next Nintendo Switch 2 exclusives, you will have to be patient and wait for the next Nintendo Direct, scheduled for February as tradition dictates. Until then, be careful what you read on social media.
