Metaphor: ReFantazio's Potential Nintendo Switch 2 Debut
Rumors are swirling that Metaphor: ReFantazio, the critically acclaimed 2024 JRPG, could launch alongside the Nintendo Switch 2. While Nintendo remains officially silent on the Switch 2, numerous leaks point towards a powerful upgrade with enhanced features, potentially launching in May or June.
Multiple sources, including prominent leaker PH Brazil, suggest Metaphor: ReFantazio will arrive within the Switch 2's launch window – generally considered the period from release until the year's end. Given Metaphor's numerous accolades, including 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 a far-fetched prediction.
This isn't the first time this rumor has surfaced. Previous leaks also mentioned both Metaphor: ReFantazio and Persona 3 Reload as potential Switch 2 titles. This influx of third-party support bodes well for the new console.
Metaphor: ReFantazio isn't alone in the rumored Switch 2 launch lineup. Ubisoft reportedly has several titles in development, and Konami and Microsoft are also speculated to be preparing releases. A new Mario Kart and a 3D Super Mario game are also rumored for launch or shortly thereafter. However, until official confirmation, these remain speculative.
