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

Metaphor: ReFantazio's Potential Nintendo Switch 2 Debut

Recent rumors suggest that the critically acclaimed 2024 RPG, Metaphor: ReFantazio, may launch alongside the highly anticipated Nintendo Switch 2. While Nintendo remains officially silent on the Switch 2's existence, numerous leaks point towards a powerful successor to the original Switch, potentially launching in May or June.

This isn't the first time Metaphor: ReFantazio has been linked to the Switch 2. Multiple sources, including prominent leaker PH Brazil, indicate a possible release within the console's launch window – generally considered the period from launch until the year's end. Given Metaphor: ReFantazio's numerous accolades, including nominations for Game of the Year and wins for Best Narrative and Best Art Direction at The Game Awards 2024, and the strong relationship between Nintendo and Sega (the game's publisher), a Switch 2 port seems plausible.

Furthermore, previous leaks suggested a simultaneous Switch 2 release for both Metaphor: ReFantazio and Persona 3 Reload. This influx of third-party support for the new console is encouraging.

Metaphor: ReFantazio isn't alone in the rumored Switch 2 launch lineup. Ubisoft reportedly has several titles in development, along with contributions from Konami and even Microsoft. Speculation also includes a new Mario Kart as a launch title, and a new 3D Super Mario game within the launch window. However, the veracity of these claims remains unconfirmed. The anticipation builds as the potential Switch 2 reveal nears.
