By the end of the year, Sony and Microsoft will have sparked a new console wars for the next generation. Both the PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series X will usher in a new era for gamers worldwide. Missing, however, is the star of the past three years: the Nintendo Switch. Apparently, the iconic home-slash-mobile console is saving its guns for next year. According to a report, Nintendo will debut a new Switch in 2021.

Without a doubt, the current iterations of the Nintendo Switch dominated the past few years, bringing the Japanese game company back into the console wars. The console reinvigorated the stagnating lineup from the Wii generations. The Switch generation launched a new era of Nintendo gaming, featuring award-winning titles like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Super Mario Odyssey, and Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

However, despite the console’s unbeatable convenience, the Switch still bows out to the PlayStation’s and the Xbox’s performance. With a new generation on the horizon, Nintendo’s console will likely fall farther behind.

That said, according to a Bloomberg report, Nintendo is planning an upgraded Switch for next year. Though the details are still scant, one potential addition is upgraded 4K graphics capabilities.

Besides the console, Nintendo is also readying a barrage of new high-profile games, catching up with both Sony and Microsoft. Currently, we are still expecting the impending launch of the confirmed Breath of the Wild sequel. The company has also speculated on an Odyssey sequel as well.

Whatever the case, Nintendo is gearing up for a blockbuster 2021. With the PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series X waging war on another front, 2021 is going to be an amazing year for gamers of all sizes.

Marvel’s Wolverine gets a release date

September 15, 2026

Marvel's Wolverine

It’s finally locked in. Marvel’s Wolverine is launching on September 15, 2026, exclusively for the PlayStation 5.

The release date was shared by Insomniac Games and PlayStation across their official social media channels, giving fans a concrete target after years of anticipation.

First announced in 2021, Marvel’s Wolverine is being developed in collaboration with Sony Interactive Entertainment and Marvel Games. The studio is crafting an original story centered on Logan, promising a darker and more brutal tone compared to its Spider-Man titles.

Players can expect savage, close-quarters combat built around Wolverine’s adamantium claws, along with a narrative that explores the character’s violent past. The game is designed exclusively for PS5, leveraging the hardware for cinematic set pieces and fast, ferocious action.

With a firm September 16, 2026 release date now confirmed, the wait for Logan’s next chapter officially has an end in sight.

This is the first major update since the trailer released back in September 2025.

Visceral Combat

Combat looks as savage as fans expect. Wolverine’s adamantium claws slice through foes with fast, fluid techniques. Momentum builds as his berserker rage takes over, turning him into a relentless force on the battlefield.

Dismemberment, brutal takedowns, and close-quarters combat define his style. Wolverine is a reluctant hero, but once the claws come out, there’s no holding back. He doesn’t fight nice. He fights to survive.

The trailer also teased Logan’s wider world. Players will face the elusive Mystique, the monstrous Omega Red, and an army of Reavers. Some characters may help him, others will try to break him.

The footage closes with a prototype of a towering purple robot—an unmistakable nod to the Sentinels. The adventure spans the neon-lit streets of Madripoor, the frozen wilderness of Canada, and the alleys of Tokyo. Each location sets the stage for bloody, destructive action.
