A new Amazon product listing added to the website on August 26 could be a giant teaser for Overwatch on the Nintendo Switch.

Overwatch has been a hit with FPS players since its release on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC back in May 2016, and they have been calling for a Nintendo Switch release ever since the console came out.

On August 26, a new product listing popped up on Amazon that could be the first major hint that fans may see their prayers answered in the near future.

The product listed on Amazon was a case for the Switch showing the Overwatch logo on the front, and claimed to be made by PowerA – a popular video game peripherals company.

It featured the game’s signature gray and orange colors, with the logo also inside the case, ten pockets for game cartridges, and a protective layer for the console itself.
