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

Metaphor: ReFantazio's Potential 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 paint a picture of a more powerful successor to the original Switch, with a potential May or June release date.

Multiple sources, including prominent leaker PH Brazil, suggest Metaphor: ReFantazio is destined for the new console. While not necessarily a launch title, the game is expected to arrive within the Switch 2's launch window – typically defined as the period from release through the end of the year. This aligns with the strong relationship between Nintendo and Sega, Metaphor's publisher.

This isn't the first time this rumor has surfaced. Previous leaks also hinted at Metaphor: ReFantazio, and Persona 3 Reload, making their way to the Switch 2. This influx of third-party support bodes well for Nintendo's next-generation console.

Metaphor: ReFantazio, a 2024 Game Awards nominee (winning Best Narrative and Best Art Direction), is already a celebrated title. Its arrival on the Switch 2 would be a significant addition to the console's launch lineup.

The Switch 2's launch window is shaping up to be packed. Ubisoft reportedly has multiple titles in development, and other major players like Konami and Microsoft are also rumored to be contributing. Speculation 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 to be seen.
