There was a secret Switch 2 demo at Gamescom, here’s what was shown
In This Article
Nintendo has reportedly given game developers asneak peak at the next generationSwitch 2console, which is expected next year.
A select few Gamescom attendees got access to a Switch 2 tech demo, which showcased some of the expected spec improvements, according to aEurogamerreport.
The demo showcased The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild at a higher resolution and frame rate than it originally appeared on the original Switch console.
Save £400 on the Samsung Galaxy Book 3 360
The Samsung Galaxy Book 3 360 is currently selling for £799 at Currys, which represents a huge £400 discount.
Furthermore,VGCreports the demonstration also included the Unreal Engine 5 showcase, including that impressiveThe Matrix Awakens experience, which wowed the gaming masses ahead of the Xbox Series X and PS5 releases.
More intriguing still for those who’ve been seeking a highly capable Switch console to match that engaging gameplay, the demo was also said to include Nvidia’sDLSSAI-powered upscaling technology that’s available exclusively on its graphics cards, as well as advancedray tracingand visuals not far short of the current-gen console titans.
There was no talk of the specs, but it’s likely the demo unit showed a representation of what the gaming giant is intending to use. Nintendo is yet to even confirm it plans to launch a successor to the Switch in the near-term future, let alone talk about potential features and specs.
Right now the company continues to break through sales records, with the 2017 Switch recently surpassing the Wii phenomenon in the United States. There’s a decent slate of games still to come in 2023, withSuper Mario Bros. Wonderchief among them, along with Detective Pikachu Returns. The newZelda game Tears of the Kingdomis still very new on the scene.
So we’d be surprised if Nintendo announced a successor is confirmed to be on the way before the new year and even then we wouldn’t be certain the next Switch will arrive in 2024.
Sound like it could be the real deal though, eh?
