Gotham Knights Might be One of Nintendo Switch 2’s Third-Party Titles

Gotham Knights: A Potential Nintendo Switch 2 Title?

Recent speculation suggests that Gotham Knights may be heading to the Nintendo Switch 2. This intriguing possibility stems from a game developer's resume, as highlighted by YouTuber Doctre81 on January 5, 2025.

The resume, belonging to a former QLOC employee (2018-2023), lists several notable titles including Mortal Kombat 11 and Tales of Vesperia. Crucially, it also features Gotham Knights, specifying its development for two unreleased platforms.

While one platform could potentially be the original Nintendo Switch (given a prior ESRB rating, since removed), the game's performance issues on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S cast doubt on this. The second unreleased platform strongly hints at the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2.

It's vital to remember that this is currently unconfirmed by Warner Bros. Games or Nintendo. However, with the Nintendo Switch 2 being the only significant unreleased console on the horizon, the speculation holds weight.

Previous Switch Port Rumors and ESRB Rating

Initially released in October 2022 for PS5, Windows, and Xbox Series X, Gotham Knights received an ESRB rating for the original Nintendo Switch, fueling speculation of a port. This rating has since been removed, leaving the possibility open. The lack of a Switch release, coupled with the recent YouTube report and the past ESRB rating, now points towards a potential Switch 2 launch.
