Metaphor: ReFantazio's Potential Nintendo Switch 2 Debut
Whispers abound that Metaphor: ReFantazio, the critically acclaimed 2024 JRPG, could grace the Nintendo Switch 2's launch lineup. While Nintendo remains officially silent on the Switch 2, numerous leaks paint a picture of a more powerful successor with enhanced features. Recent speculation points to a Switch 2 unveiling in the coming days, with a potential May or June release.
A new leak from reputable insider PH Brazil suggests Metaphor: ReFantazio, while possibly not a day-one title, will likely arrive within the Switch 2's launch window – generally considered the period from release through the year's end. Given Metaphor's publisher Sega's strong relationship with Nintendo and the game's numerous accolades (including nominations for Game of the Year and wins for Best Narrative and Best Art Direction at The Game Awards 2024), a Switch 2 port seems highly plausible.
This isn't the first hint of a Switch 2 release. Previous leaks mentioned both Metaphor: ReFantazio and Persona 3 Reload as potential titles. This influx of third-party support bodes well for Nintendo's next-generation console.
Metaphor: ReFantazio isn't alone in the rumored Switch 2 launch window. Ubisoft reportedly has multiple games in development, and Konami and Microsoft are also speculated to be preparing releases. Further rumors suggest a new Mario Kart as a launch title and a new 3D Super Mario game within the launch window. However, the veracity of these claims remains to be seen.
