Rumors are swirling in the gaming community that 2024’s highly praised Metaphor: ReFantazio might make its debut on the anticipated Nintendo Switch 2 during its launch phase. Although Nintendo has yet to officially announce the Switch 2, speculation and leaks about the next generation console are rampant among fans and industry insiders.
If the leaks hold any truth, the Switch 2 is expected to be a beefed-up version of the current model, featuring significant quality of life enhancements. The buzz suggests we might see an official reveal in just a few days, with estimates placing the release around May or June of this year. Until Nintendo gives us something concrete, the rumor mill continues to churn out intriguing possibilities.
Recent chatter from credible sources indicates that Metaphor: ReFantazio is among the titles in development for the Switch 2. Notable leaker PH Brazil hints that while it might not be available right at launch, this acclaimed JRPG will likely hit the shelves within the Switch 2’s “launch window.” Historically, this window extends from the console’s release date through the end of the first year.
For those who may not be familiar, Metaphor: ReFantazio captured the spotlight as one of 2024’s standout releases, garnering critical accolades and nominations at The Game Awards for categories including Game of the Year. It even bagged awards for Best Narrative and Best Art Direction. Given Nintendo’s solid partnership with Sega, Metaphor’s publisher, porting this celebrated game to the Switch 2 seems a wise move.
It’s not the first time whispers of Metaphor’s journey to the Switch 2 have emerged. Past leaks hinted not only at Metaphor making its way to the new console but also Persona 3 Reload. While nothing is confirmed, it seems Nintendo is gearing up to bolster its third-party lineup for their next-gen offering.
Beyond Metaphor, there’s a buzz about several other games making their way to the Switch 2 during its launch phase. Ubisoft is reportedly prepping more than six titles for the platform, with whispers of contributions from Konami and even Microsoft. The grapevine is also echoing with talk that the next Mario Kart might be a launch title, alongside a new 3D Super Mario set to arrive shortly after. Until official announcements are made, fans will just have to stay tuned and speculate.
