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

Metaphor: ReFantazio's Potential Nintendo Switch 2 Debut

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

Adding fuel to the fire, prominent leaker PH Brazil hints at a Switch 2 release for Metaphor: ReFantazio within the console's launch window – generally considered the period from launch until 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 (Metaphor's publisher), this isn't a surprising prospect.

This isn't the first time this rumor has surfaced. Previous leaks suggested a Switch 2 port not only for Metaphor: ReFantazio but also for Persona 3 Reload. This influx of third-party support bodes well for the new console.

Metaphor: ReFantazio isn't alone in the Switch 2 launch window speculation. Ubisoft reportedly has multiple titles in development, alongside potential releases from Konami and even Microsoft. Further rumors point to a new Mario Kart as a launch title and a new 3D Super Mario game within the launch window.

The truth behind these rumors remains to be seen, but the anticipation for the Switch 2 and its potential game lineup continues to build.
