According to exciting new rumors, the critically acclaimed Metaphor: ReFantazio from 2024 could grace the Nintendo Switch 2 during its launch window. Although Nintendo has yet to officially unveil the Nintendo Switch 2, leaks about this eagerly awaited next-generation system are rampant.

If these leaks hold true, the Switch 2 will essentially be an enhanced version of the original Switch, boasting significant quality of life improvements. Recent rumors indicate that the Switch 2 might be revealed imminently, with a potential launch slated for May or June of this year. While the veracity of these claims is still up in the air, the flow of leaks shows no signs of abating.

One of the latest leaks hints that Metaphor: ReFantazio is being developed for the Switch 2. The well-known leaker PH Brazil has indicated that, although Metaphor: ReFantazio might not be a launch title for the Switch 2, it's poised for release within the system's "launch window." Historically, Nintendo's launch windows span from the console's release to the end of the year.

Metaphor: ReFantazio Rumored for Switch 2

For those new to the game, Metaphor: ReFantazio garnered significant praise and was among the top-rated new releases of 2024. It received multiple nominations at The Game Awards 2024, including Game of the Year, and clinched awards for Best Narrative and Best Art Direction. Given the strong ties between Nintendo and Metaphor's publisher, Sega, it seems only natural to bring the game to the Switch 2.

This isn't the first time we've heard whispers about Metaphor: ReFantazio potentially coming to the Switch 2. Last year, another leak suggested that not only is Metaphor: ReFantazio headed to the Switch 2, but Persona 3 Reload is also in development for the console. Given the close collaboration between Nintendo and third-party developers, it's exciting to see such strong support for the Switch 2.

Meanwhile, Metaphor: ReFantazio isn't the only title rumored for the Switch 2 launch window. Ubisoft is reportedly developing over half a dozen games for the Switch 2, and companies like Konami and Microsoft are also rumored to be crafting releases for the console. Speculation abounds that the next Mario Kart could be a launch title, with a new 3D Super Mario game expected within the launch window. Fans will need to stay tuned to see if these rumors come to fruition.
