Exciting news has surfaced about the potential arrival of 2024's critically acclaimed game, Metaphor: ReFantazio, on the Nintendo Switch 2 during its launch window. While Nintendo has yet to officially unveil the Nintendo Switch 2, leaks about this eagerly awaited next-generation console continue to circulate.
Rumors suggest that the Switch 2 will be a more powerful version of the original Switch, featuring various quality of life improvements. Recent leaks indicate that the Switch 2 could be revealed soon, with a possible launch in May or June of this year. However, these claims are yet to be confirmed.
A notable leak from well-known leaker PH Brazil suggests that Metaphor: ReFantazio might not be a launch title for the Switch 2 but could be released within the console's "launch window," which typically extends from the release date to the end of the year.
Metaphor: ReFantazio Rumored for Switch 2
For those new to the game, Metaphor: ReFantazio garnered significant acclaim and was one of the highest-rated new releases of 2024. The game was nominated for multiple awards at The Game Awards 2024, including Game of the Year, and took home awards for Best Narrative and Best Art Direction. Given the strong partnership between Nintendo and Metaphor's publisher, Sega, it's logical to anticipate the game's arrival on the Switch 2.
This isn't the first time we've heard about Metaphor: ReFantazio's potential release on the Switch 2. Last year, another leak suggested that not only Metaphor: ReFantazio but also Persona 3 Reload could be coming to the new console. It's encouraging to see that Nintendo appears to be securing substantial third-party support for its next-generation console.
In addition to Metaphor: ReFantazio, other games rumored for the Switch 2 launch window include over half a dozen titles from Ubisoft, as well as releases from companies like Konami and Microsoft. Rumors also mention that the next Mario Kart could be a launch title, with a new 3D Super Mario game slated for release within the launch window. Fans will need to wait for official announcements to see if these rumors hold true.
