Summary

• Metaphor: ReFantazio is rumored to launch on the Nintendo Switch 2.

Rumors suggest that the critically acclaimed 2024 JRPG, Metaphor: ReFantazio, could arrive on the Nintendo Switch 2 within its launch window. While Nintendo hasn't officially unveiled the Switch 2, numerous leaks point towards a more powerful console with quality-of-life improvements. Recent rumors predict a reveal in the coming days, with a potential May or June launch.

A recent leak from PH Brazil suggests Metaphor: ReFantazio may not be a launch title but will likely release within the Switch 2's launch window, typically defined as the period between the console's release and the end of the year.

Metaphor: ReFantazio Rumored for Switch 2

For those unfamiliar, Metaphor: ReFantazio was a highly acclaimed 2024 release, receiving numerous awards nominations, including Game of the Year at The Game Awards 2024, and winning Best Narrative and Best Art Direction. Given the strong relationship between Nintendo and Sega (Metaphor's publisher), a Switch 2 port seems plausible.

This isn't the first time Metaphor: ReFantazio has been linked to the Switch 2. Previous leaks suggested both Metaphor: ReFantazio and Persona 3 Reload were in development for the console. This hints at strong third-party support for Nintendo's next-generation system.

Metaphor: ReFantazio isn't alone in the rumored Switch 2 launch window lineup. Ubisoft reportedly has several games in development, alongside potential titles from Konami and Microsoft. Rumors also 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 to be seen.
