Nintendo Switch 2 Rumors Fuel Gotham Knights Speculation

Gotham Knights: A Potential Nintendo Switch 2 Release?

Recent speculation suggests that Gotham Knights could be among the third-party titles launching on the Nintendo Switch 2. This intriguing possibility stems from a game developer's resume.

A YouTuber, Doctre81, highlighted a resume detailing a developer's work at QLOC (2018-2023). The resume lists several titles, including Mortal Kombat 11 and Tales of Vesperia, but notably, Gotham Knights is listed as developed for two unreleased platforms.

While one platform might be the original Nintendo Switch (due to a since-removed ESRB rating), performance issues on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S cast doubt on this. The second unreleased platform strongly hints at the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2.

It's crucial to remember that this is based on unconfirmed information. Neither Warner Bros. Games nor Nintendo have made official announcements.

Previous Nintendo Switch Port Rumors and ESRB Rating

Initially released in October 2022 for PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X, Gotham Knights was briefly rumored for the original Switch following an ESRB rating. This rating has since been removed, and the game never materialized on the platform. However, this past ESRB listing, coupled with the recent YouTube report, fuels speculation about a Switch 2 release.

Nintendo Switch 2: Backward Compatibility and Official Announcements

Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa announced on May 7, 2024, that further details on the Switch's successor would be revealed "within this fiscal year" (ending March 2025). A subsequent announcement confirmed backward compatibility with original Switch software and Nintendo Switch Online. The use of physical cartridges remains unconfirmed.
