Gotham Knights: A Potential Nintendo Switch 2 Release?
Speculation is swirling that Gotham Knights could be among the third-party titles launching on the Nintendo Switch 2. This intriguing possibility stems from a game developer's resume.
A January 5, 2025 report by YouTuber Doctre81 highlighted a resume listing Gotham Knights as a project developed for two unreleased platforms. The developer, employed by QLOC from 2018 to 2023, also listed work on titles such as Mortal Kombat 11 and Tales of Vesperia. The mystery lies in these two unannounced platforms.
One platform could be the original Nintendo Switch, given a previous ESRB rating. However, performance issues on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S might have hindered a port. The second unreleased platform strongly suggests the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2.
It's crucial to note: no official confirmation exists from Warner Bros. Games or Nintendo. This information should be treated cautiously. However, with the Nintendo Switch 2 being the only highly anticipated, unreleased console, the possibility remains compelling.
Past Hints and the ESRB Rating:
Initially released in October 2022 for PS5, Windows, and Xbox Series X, Gotham Knights received an ESRB rating for the original Nintendo Switch, fueling speculation of a release. This rating, however, has since been removed from the ESRB website. While the original Switch port never materialized, the past rating and this recent report lend credence to a potential Switch 2 launch.
Nintendo Switch 2: Backwards Compatibility and Official Announcements:
Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa announced on May 7, 2024, that further details on the Switch's successor would be revealed "within this fiscal year," ending in March 2025. A subsequent announcement confirmed backwards compatibility with original Switch software and Nintendo Switch Online. The use of physical cartridges remains unconfirmed.
