Switch 2 Rumored to Get Exclusive Game Anticipated for 2024

Metaphor: ReFantazio's Potential Nintendo Switch 2 Debut

Whispers suggest that the critically acclaimed 2024 title, Metaphor: ReFantazio, may grace the Nintendo Switch 2's launch lineup. While Nintendo remains tight-lipped about the Switch 2, numerous leaks point towards a more powerful iteration of the popular console, potentially launching in May or June.

According to prominent leaker PH Brazil, Metaphor: ReFantazio, though possibly not a day-one release, is likely to arrive within the Switch 2's launch window – typically encompassing the console's release date through the year's end. This isn't entirely unexpected, 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, Metaphor's publisher.

This isn't the first time this rumor has surfaced. Previous leaks hinted at both Metaphor: ReFantazio and Persona 3 Reload joining the Switch 2's initial game roster. This influx of third-party support bodes well for Nintendo's next-gen console.

Metaphor: ReFantazio isn't alone in the rumored Switch 2 launch window. Ubisoft reportedly has multiple titles in development, and other major players like Konami and Microsoft are also speculated to be preparing releases. Further fueling anticipation, 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.
