Switch 2 Exclusive Game Rumors Hint at 2024 Release

Speculation Mounts: Metaphor: ReFantazio Eyed for Nintendo Switch 2 Launch

Whispers are circulating that the critically acclaimed 2024 title, Metaphor: ReFantazio, could grace the Nintendo Switch 2 upon its release. While Nintendo remains tight-lipped about the Switch 2's official unveiling, leaks regarding the highly anticipated console continue to surface.

These leaks paint a picture of a more powerful Switch with enhanced features. Recent rumors suggest an imminent Switch 2 reveal, with a potential launch slated for May or June. The veracity of these claims remains uncertain, but the flow of information hasn't slowed.

A recent leak from reputable source PH Brazil hints at Metaphor: ReFantazio's arrival on the Switch 2, possibly within the console's launch window – typically defined as the period from release until the year's end. Given Metaphor: ReFantazio's exceptional reception, 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 (the game's publisher), this possibility seems plausible.

This isn't the first time Metaphor: ReFantazio has been linked to the Switch 2. Previous leaks also suggested its arrival, alongside Persona 3 Reload. 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 lineup. Ubisoft reportedly has multiple titles in development, and Konami and Microsoft are also rumored to be preparing releases. Further speculation points to a new Mario Kart as a launch title, with a new 3D Super Mario game potentially following within the launch window. However, the truth behind these claims remains to be seen.
