Rumor: One of 2024\'s Best Games Could Be Coming to the Switch 2

Metaphor: ReFantazio's Potential Nintendo Switch 2 Debut

Rumors suggest the critically acclaimed 2024 JRPG, Metaphor: ReFantazio, may launch alongside the Nintendo Switch 2. While Nintendo hasn't officially announced the Switch 2, numerous leaks point to a powerful successor with enhanced features, potentially debuting in May or June.

Multiple sources, including prominent leaker PH Brazil, indicate Metaphor: ReFantazio is slated for a Switch 2 release within the console's launch window—generally considered the period from launch until year's end. This aligns with the strong relationship between Nintendo and Sega, Metaphor's publisher.

The game's success, including nominations for Game of the Year and wins for Best Narrative and Best Art Direction at The Game Awards 2024, makes a Switch 2 port highly plausible. Previous leaks even suggested a simultaneous Switch 2 release for Metaphor: ReFantazio and Persona 3 Reload.

Metaphor: ReFantazio isn't alone in the rumored Switch 2 launch lineup. Ubisoft reportedly has multiple titles in development, and other major players like Konami and Microsoft are also speculated to be preparing Switch 2 releases. Further rumors suggest Mario Kart and a new 3D Super Mario game will be among the launch titles or early releases.

The anticipation surrounding the Switch 2 and its potential game library is high, with Metaphor: ReFantazio potentially being a key title in its launch window. However, official confirmation from Nintendo is still awaited.
