Based on a game developer's resume, Gotham Knights may be coming to the Nintendo Switch 2. This intriguing possibility surfaced via YouTuber Doctre81 on January 5, 2025. The resume, belonging to a former QLOC employee (2018-2023), lists Gotham Knights alongside titles like Mortal Kombat 11 and Tales of Vesperia, specifying it's destined for two yet-to-be-released platforms.
One platform is potentially the original Nintendo Switch, given its past 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.
While no official announcements have been made by Warner Bros. Games or Nintendo, the Nintendo Switch 2 remains the most likely candidate for this "unreleased platform." Remember to approach this information cautiously.
The original October 2022 release of Gotham Knights (PS5, Windows, Xbox Series X) was briefly preceded by an ESRB rating for the original Nintendo Switch, sparking speculation and anticipation of a Nintendo Direct announcement. However, this rating was later removed, and the game never launched on the original Switch. The resurfaced information, coupled with the 2023 ESRB rating, reignites the possibility of a Switch 2 release.
Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa's May 7, 2024, tweet promised further details on the Switch successor "within this fiscal year" (ending March 2025), adding to the anticipation. A subsequent tweet confirmed backward compatibility with original Switch software and Nintendo Switch Online. However, the use of physical cartridges remains unconfirmed.
