Metaphor: ReFantazio Rumored for Switch 2
For the uninitiated, Metaphor: ReFantazio garnered significant praise in 2024, becoming one of the year's highest-rated new releases. Its success included nominations for multiple Game Awards 2024 accolades, 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's Switch 2 arrival has been rumored. A previous leak suggested both Metaphor: ReFantazio and Persona 3 Reload were in development for the console. This potential third-party support bodes well for Nintendo's new system.
