There have been murmurs for quite some time that smash hit Fortnite will be announced for the Nintendo Switch during Nintendo's Direct livestream, and in the past few days these rumblings were all-but-confirmed.

A posting on the Korean Game Ratings Board website revealed Fortnite for Switch, and a tweet on Tuesday night noted that Nintendo has accidentally pushed an update for Fortnite on the eShop.

This suggests not only is the game coming to Switch, but it may even get insta-released during Nintendo's livestream, which would be one hell of an E3 megaton.

How Likely Is It?: Extremely. The game's definitely on the way, and the fact it's been rated and has an update ready suggests it's basically good to go. Nintendo could launch it shortly after E3, but if they're smart, they'll shadow-drop it and break the Internet in the process.
