Controversial peripheral company Dbrand has started promoting a new case which it seems to suggest contains a Switch 2.
The Canadian firm posted a teaser image on X on Thursday showing the back of the case, along with the message “we will not be answering any questions at this time”.
However, it has now posteda link to its site, promoting what it calls theSwitch 2Killswitch.
The product page shows an animation of what appears to be a CG render of its transluscent case, with a console inside it.
It appears, then, that Dbrand is claiming that the console inside is the successor to theNintendo Switch.
While purported Switch 2 carry cases have been spotted on Chinese product websites in recent days, this is the first time a notable western peripheral manufacturer has posted an image of what it claims to be the console.
If the image is accurate, it would appear to confirm rumours that the Switch 2 will have an extra button on the right Joy-Con alongside the Home button (with the Capture button seemingly still on the left Joy-Con).

It should be noted that Dbrand is known for its controversial stunts, some of which have includedNintendoas its target.
Last year it released a set of unofficial Zelda-themed Switch decals which say “go fuck yourself lawyers” in code on the Dock.
The website for the decals included a section titled “The Power of Plagiarism,” in which it criticised Nintendo’s decision to release a Zelda-themed console and said it had a cheaper alternative.
“You see, when one of the world’s most litigious companies announces a $359.99 price tag to replace your Switch with a limited edition variant, only Dbrand is up to the challenge of charging you slightly less for a ‘creative reinterpretation’ of their overpriced novelty console,” it said at the time.
The render of the Switch 2 Killswitch case also has a secret code, albeit aimed at the player this time instead Nintendo. Written as a series of hexadecimal numbers, when converted to text it reads “why are you decrypting this”.
