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

A game developer's resume hints at a potential surprise: Gotham Knights may be coming to the Nintendo Switch 2. Let's dive into the details.

Gotham Knights: Nintendo Switch 2 Bound?

Resume Reveals Potential Port

On January 5th, 2025, YouTuber Doctre81 sparked speculation. A developer's resume, showcasing work at QLOC (2018-2023) on titles like Mortal Kombat 11 and Tales of Vesperia, listed Gotham Knights for two unreleased platforms.

While one platform could be the original Switch (due to a since-removed ESRB rating), performance issues on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S might have hindered a port. The second unreleased platform strongly suggests the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2.

Remember, this is based on unconfirmed information. Neither Warner Bros. Games nor Nintendo have made official announcements.

Previous Switch Rating and Its Disappearance

Released in October 2022 for PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X, Gotham Knights briefly received an ESRB rating for the original Switch, fueling speculation and anticipation of a Nintendo Direct reveal. This rating was later removed, leaving the fate of the Switch port uncertain. However, this past ESRB rating, coupled with the recent YouTube report, reignites the possibility of a Switch 2 release.

Nintendo Switch 2: Backwards Compatibility and Upcoming Announcements

Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa tweeted on May 7, 2024, promising further details on the Switch's successor "within this fiscal year" (ending March 2025). He later confirmed backwards compatibility with original Switch software and Nintendo Switch Online. The use of physical cartridges remains unconfirmed.
