A Reddit user claiming to be a GameStop employee says a new Switch OLED SKU was added to the retailer’s database ahead of the upcoming Zelda title’s imminent gameplay showing.
Later today, Nintendo will be unveiling 10 minutes of gameplay footage for the highly anticipated The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, accompanied by commentary from series producer Eiji Aonuma, but it seems like that’s not all the company will be showing off.
A Reddit user claiming to be a GameStop employee recently said in a post that a new and unannounced Nintendo Switch OLED SKU was added to the retailer’s database ahead of Tears of the Kingdom’s upcoming gameplay reveal, suggesting that Nintendo might also be gearing up to announce a special edition model of the Switch OLED. The Reddit user then went on to attach an image of the aforementioned database in a follow-up comment, showing the newly added SKU in question.
This isn’t the first that we’ve heard of this from unverified sources. Earlier this year, images of a Tears of the Kingdom-themed special edition Switch OLED model were also leaked online. Either way, it apparently won’t be long before we know for sure one way or another whether this is accurate.
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is due out for the Nintendo Switch on May 12.
