Metaphor: ReFantazio's Potential Nintendo Switch 2 Debut

Rumors suggest that the critically acclaimed 2024 JRPG, Metaphor: ReFantazio, may launch alongside the Nintendo Switch 2. While Nintendo remains officially silent on the Switch 2, numerous leaks point towards a May or June release this year, with the new console boasting enhanced power and improved user experience.

Multiple sources, including prominent leaker PH Brazil, indicate Metaphor: ReFantazio is slated for a release within the Switch 2's launch window – generally considered to be the period from the console's release until the year's end. This aligns with the strong relationship between Nintendo and Sega, the publisher of Metaphor: ReFantazio. The game's success, including nominations for Game of the Year and wins for Best Narrative and Best Art Direction at The Game Awards 2024, further strengthens this possibility.

This isn't a new rumor; previous leaks also suggested a Switch 2 release for Metaphor: ReFantazio, alongside Persona 3 Reload. This influx of third-party support for the upcoming console is promising.

Metaphor: ReFantazio isn't alone; Ubisoft reportedly has multiple Switch 2 titles in development, joined by Konami and even Microsoft. Further 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 unconfirmed.
