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 title, Metaphor: ReFantazio, could launch alongside the highly anticipated Nintendo Switch 2. While Nintendo remains tight-lipped about the Switch 2's official release, numerous leaks point towards a May or June launch this year, with the new console boasting enhanced power and improved features.

Multiple sources, including prominent leaker PH Brazil, suggest Metaphor: ReFantazio is in development for the Switch 2. While not necessarily a launch title, the game is expected to arrive within the console's launch window – typically defined as the period from release until the end of the year. 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 possibility seems quite plausible.

This isn't the first time we've heard whispers of a Switch 2 release. Previous leaks also mentioned Persona 3 Reload as a potential title for the new console. This influx of third-party support further strengthens the anticipation surrounding the Switch 2's launch.

Metaphor: ReFantazio isn't alone in the rumored Switch 2 launch lineup. Ubisoft reportedly has several titles in development, and other major players like Konami and Microsoft are also rumored to be preparing releases. Additional 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 unconfirmed. The coming days may bring official announcements that confirm or deny these exciting possibilities.
