The rumours of a more powerful Switch continue as Bloomberg claims to have spoken with 11 game companies that are in possession of a 4K development kit for Switch, claiming they range “from large publishers to small studios and include at least one that has never made a console game before, Zynga Inc.” Bloomberg also noted that there are likely more companies that currently have the new dev kit.
Bloomberg has noted that such a device “isn’t expected to be released until late next year at the earliest” based on talks with those familiar with the situation
Nintendo has responded by saying
A news report on Sept. 30, 2021(JST) falsely claims that Nintendo is supplying tools to drive game development for a Nintendo Switch with 4K support. To ensure correct understanding among our investors and customers, we want to clarify that this report is not true.
We also want to restate that, as we announced in July, we have no plans for any new model other than Nintendo Switch – OLED Model, which will launch on October 8, 2021.
Could that just be damage control PR?
