According to recent rumors, the critically acclaimed 2024 game, Metaphor: ReFantazio, could be making its way to the Nintendo Switch 2 during the console's launch window. While Nintendo has yet to officially unveil the Nintendo Switch 2, leaks about this highly anticipated next-generation system continue to surface.

If these leaks hold true, the Switch 2 will essentially be a more powerful version of the current Switch, featuring various quality of life enhancements. Recent rumors suggest that the Switch 2 could be revealed imminently, with a possible launch slated for May or June of this year. While the validity of these claims is yet to be confirmed, the flow of leaks shows no sign of slowing down.

One of the latest leaks hints that Metaphor: ReFantazio is being developed for the Switch 2. According to well-known leaker PH Brazil, although Metaphor: ReFantazio might not be a launch title, it is expected to release within the Switch 2's "launch window," which typically spans from the console's release date until the end of the year.

Metaphor: ReFantazio Rumored for Switch 2

For those unfamiliar with the game, Metaphor: ReFantazio received widespread acclaim and was one of the top-rated new releases of 2024. It was nominated for several awards at The Game Awards 2024, including Game of the Year, and took home the awards for Best Narrative and Best Art Direction. Given the strong partnership between Nintendo and Metaphor's publisher, Sega, it seems like a natural fit to bring the game to the Switch 2.

This isn't the first time we've heard about Metaphor: ReFantazio potentially coming to the Switch 2. Last year, another leak suggested that not only Metaphor: ReFantazio but also Persona 3 Reload is being developed for the console. These rumors, while not surprising, are encouraging as they indicate that Nintendo is already securing robust third-party support for its next-generation system.

In addition to Metaphor: ReFantazio, other games are also rumored to be part of the Switch 2 launch window. Ubisoft is reportedly working on over half a dozen titles for the Switch 2, while companies like Konami and even Microsoft are said to be preparing releases for the device. There are also rumors that the next Mario Kart will be a launch title, and a new 3D Super Mario game will be released within the launch window. As always, fans will need to wait for official announcements to confirm these exciting prospects.
