Following leaks for the Pokemon Scarlet & Violet DLC, it appears that a new Nintendo Switch model may be planned for 2024. The leaks come along with accurate information about the new Gen 9 DLC.
Pokemon Scarlet & Violet recently announced the new DLC “The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero” which will be released in two parts later this year. The new content will introduce previous Pokemon to the Paldea region, as well as debut new storylines and legendary species.
For many, however, the DLC news was not a surprise as it was announced during the Pokemon presents in February 2023. Information surrounding the DLC was accurately leaked from an alleged Game Freak programmer, with teasers shared online by the famous Pokemon leaker Riddler Khu and the Centro Leaks account.
In addition to the Pokemon Scarlet & Violet DLC leak, it was hinted that a “new Nintendo Switch” was on the way, and another update has confirmed that a hint for the beloved handheld console could finally be released in 2024.

In the original information leaked by Pokemon Programmer, they stated “we are working on a graphics enhancement patch for the new Nintendo Switch models that will be released alongside DLC2”. After some confusion, the same programmer came back and clarified that the new Nintendo Switch console is planned and that it should be released in 2024 along with a second round of Pokemon Scarlet & Violet DLC.
Unfortunately, there has been heavy speculation about new Nintendo Switch models for several years with no confirmations. With the current model now over five years old, many have wondered what Nintendo could be planning next and how it will innovate to keep up with other modern consoles.
At this time, there has been no official announcement of a new Nintendo Switch console, but as more information becomes available about the Pokemon Scarlet & Violet DLC and other popular titles, it is possible that new details may be provided. Fans will have to stay tuned to see what might be announced in the coming months.
