Metaphor: ReFantazio's Potential Nintendo Switch 2 Debut
Whispers suggest that the critically acclaimed 2024 title, Metaphor: ReFantazio, could grace the Nintendo Switch 2's launch lineup. While Nintendo remains officially silent on the Switch 2, numerous leaks paint a picture of a more powerful console with enhanced features, potentially launching in May or June.
A recent leak from reputable source PH Brazil hints at Metaphor: ReFantazio's arrival on the Switch 2, possibly within the console's initial launch window (generally considered the period from release to year's end). Given Metaphor: ReFantazio's critical success – 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 (the game's publisher), this isn't entirely unexpected.
This isn't the first time this rumor has surfaced. Previous leaks suggested both Metaphor: ReFantazio and Persona 3 Reload were in development for the Switch 2. This influx of third-party support bodes well for Nintendo's next-generation console.
Metaphor: ReFantazio isn't alone in the rumored Switch 2 launch window. Ubisoft reportedly has multiple titles in development, alongside potential releases from Konami and even Microsoft. Speculation also points to 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.
