After a series of leaks, GoPro has officially confirmed the release date for its next-generation sports cameras. A teaser video posted on the company's X/Twitter account shows September 4 as the big day for the release of two new Hero models.

The video shows the “13 BLACK” branding on the front display, while the sports camera has a familiar power/mode button next to the camera sensor and heatsink.

In terms of specs, leaks suggest the Hero 13 Black will retain the same 27MP sensor as its predecessor. The video recording capabilities will likely remain the same as well, with 5.3K at 60 FPS and 4K at 120 FPS. It’s also expected to carry over HyperSmooth 6.0 image stabilization and HDR features from the Hero 12 Black.

The biggest upgrade this year seems to be a larger 1,900 mAh battery that will replace the 1,720 mAh unit on the Hero 12 Black. Additionally, GoPro will likely expand its action cam accessory range with a macro and an ultra-wide lens attachment alongside a Floaty accessory and a protective sleeve.

The second GoPro camera is still shrouded in more mystery. It could be the successor to the GoPro 11 Mini, and rumor has it that it will offer HyperSmooth stabilization and slow-motion video recording.

But it remains to be seen if September 4 will be the official launch or just the unveiling. We'll have details on both Hero sports cameras soon.
