The buzz around the unannounced Nintendo Switch 2 is intensifying, with a new rumor suggesting Metaphor: ReFantazio, the award-winning 2024 RPG, could be a launch window title. While Nintendo remains officially silent, numerous leaks paint a picture of a more powerful Switch with enhanced features. These leaks suggest a reveal is imminent, potentially followed by a May or June launch.
Leakers, including the well-known PH Brazil, indicate Metaphor: ReFantazio’s potential inclusion in the Switch 2 launch window (generally considered the period from launch until the end of the year). This isn't the first time this rumor surfaced; previous leaks also mentioned the game, alongside Persona 3 Reload, as potential Switch 2 titles. Given Sega's strong relationship with Nintendo, this isn't surprising.
Metaphor: ReFantazio, a 2024 Game Awards nominee (winning Best Narrative and Best Art Direction), garnered significant critical acclaim. Its potential Switch 2 release further underscores the console's promising third-party support.
The Switch 2 launch window is shaping up to be exciting. Beyond Metaphor: ReFantazio, Ubisoft reportedly has several games in development, along with contributions from Konami and even Microsoft. Rumors also point towards 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.
