Nintendo’s Rumored Switch Successor Could Host Epic 2024 Title

Metaphor: ReFantazio's Potential Nintendo Switch 2 Debut

Whispers abound suggesting that the acclaimed 2024 title, Metaphor: ReFantazio, may grace the Nintendo Switch 2's launch lineup. While Nintendo remains tight-lipped about the Switch 2 itself, numerous leaks paint a picture of a more powerful successor with enhanced features. Recent speculation points to an imminent Switch 2 unveiling, with a potential May or June release date.

Adding fuel to the fire, reputable leaker PH Brazil hints at a Switch 2 release for Metaphor: ReFantazio, possibly within the console's launch window (generally considered the period from release to year's end). Given Metaphor'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 Nintendo-Sega partnership, this possibility seems plausible.

This isn't the first time we've heard this rumor. Previous leaks suggested both Metaphor: ReFantazio and Persona 3 Reload were in development for the Switch 2. Such third-party support bodes well for the new 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. A new Mario Kart and a 3D Super Mario game are also rumored, though confirmation remains elusive. The coming days will likely shed more light on these exciting possibilities.
