EA confirms plans to bring its popular game franchises to the Nintendo Switch 2. In a recent financial call, CEO Andrew Wilson indicated that titles like Madden NFL and EA SPORTS FC, along with The Sims, are strong candidates for release on the new console. Wilson highlighted the potential for these games to attract new players to EA's ecosystem, echoing the success seen with previous releases on Nintendo platforms. While specifics remain undisclosed, EA anticipates the Switch 2's launch will provide a significant opportunity to expand its reach.
The announcement sparks speculation about the versions of Madden and EA SPORTS FC to be released. Past releases on the original Switch have been "legacy" versions, but recent efforts have focused on feature parity. The Switch 2's increased power suggests that future iterations could offer a more comparable experience to those on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
The Switch 2's game lineup is steadily taking shape. Numerous third-party titles are rumored, including Civilization VII, games from Nacon (publisher of Greedfall 2, Test Drive Unlimited, and RoboCop: Rogue City), and the highly anticipated Hollow Knight: Silksong. Nintendo itself is developing a new Mario Kart game, with more details expected at a Nintendo Direct in April.
