Nintendo Switch 2 Leak Hints at Potential 2024 Release

Metaphor: ReFantazio's Potential Nintendo Switch 2 Debut

Rumors suggest that the critically acclaimed 2024 JRPG, Metaphor: ReFantazio, could launch alongside the highly anticipated Nintendo Switch 2. While Nintendo hasn't officially unveiled the Switch 2, numerous leaks point to a more powerful successor with enhanced features, potentially launching in May or June.

According to prominent leaker PH Brazil, Metaphor: ReFantazio may not be a day-one title, but a release within the Switch 2's launch window is likely. This timeframe typically extends from the console's release until the year's end. Given the game'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 (ReFantazio's publisher), a Switch 2 port seems plausible.

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 bodes well for Nintendo's new console.

Metaphor: ReFantazio isn't alone in the rumored Switch 2 launch lineup. Ubisoft reportedly has several titles in development, alongside potential releases from Konami and even Microsoft. Further rumors suggest Mario Kart and a new 3D Super Mario game could also grace the launch window, though confirmation is pending. The coming days may bring official announcements regarding the Switch 2 and its launch titles.
