Metaphor: ReFantazio's Potential Nintendo Switch 2 Debut
Rumors suggest that the acclaimed 2024 JRPG, Metaphor: ReFantazio, could launch on the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2. While Nintendo hasn't officially announced the Switch 2, numerous leaks point towards a release in May or June, with the console boasting enhanced power and improved features.
Multiple sources, including prominent leaker PH Brazil, indicate Metaphor: ReFantazio is slated for a release within the Switch 2's launch window – generally considered the period from the console's release until the end of the year. 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 also mentioned Metaphor: ReFantazio, alongside 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 multiple titles in development, and other major players like 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, confirmation of these titles remains pending.
