A new rumor points to a Nintendo Switch 2 release of the award-winning 2024 RPG, Metaphor: ReFantazio, potentially within the console's launch window. While Nintendo hasn't officially unveiled the Switch 2, numerous leaks point towards a powerful successor with enhanced features, possibly launching in May or June.
Multiple sources, including prominent leaker PH Brazil, suggest Metaphor: ReFantazio, though not necessarily a launch title, will arrive shortly after the Switch 2's debut. Given the game's critical acclaim (including nominations for Game of the Year at The Game Awards 2024 and wins for Best Narrative and Best Art Direction), and the strong relationship between Nintendo and Sega (the game's publisher), this port seems logical.
This isn't the first time this rumor has surfaced; previous leaks also mentioned Metaphor: ReFantazio and Persona 3 Reload as potential Switch 2 titles. This influx of third-party support, further bolstered by reports of numerous Ubisoft games and potential titles from Konami and Microsoft, paints a picture of a robust Switch 2 launch lineup. Other anticipated launch window titles include a new Mario Kart and a new 3D Super Mario game, but these remain unconfirmed. The coming days may bring official announcements regarding the Switch 2 and its launch titles.
