Gotham Knights Might be One of Nintendo Switch 2’s Third-Party Titles

A game developer's resume hints at a potential surprise: Gotham Knights may be coming to the Nintendo Switch 2. Let's delve into this exciting possibility!

Gotham Knights: A Nintendo Switch 2 Debut?

Clues from a Developer's Resume

On January 5th, 2025, YouTuber Doctre81 ignited speculation about Gotham Knights' arrival on the Nintendo Switch 2. The source? A game developer's resume, showcasing work on Gotham Knights for two yet-to-be-released platforms.

This developer, formerly with QLOC (2018-2023), listed projects including Mortal Kombat 11 and Tales of Vesperia. The intriguing detail? Gotham Knights' inclusion, specifically noting its development for two unannounced consoles.

It's crucial to remember: no official word from Warner Bros. Games or Nintendo. Consider this a rumor, albeit an interesting one, given the lack of other major unreleased consoles.

Past ESRB Rating and Subsequent Removal

Released in October 2022 for PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X, Gotham Knights was briefly slated for the original Nintendo Switch, following an ESRB rating. Speculation of a Nintendo Direct appearance even surfaced.

However, the game never materialized on the original Switch, and the ESRB rating was later removed. This past rating, coupled with the recent YouTube report, fuels speculation about a Switch 2 release.

Nintendo Switch 2: Backward Compatibility and Official Announcements

Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa tweeted on May 7th, 2024, promising further details on the Switch's successor "within this fiscal year," ending in March 2025. The announcement is imminent.

A later tweet confirmed backward compatibility with the original Switch, including "Nintendo Switch software" and "Nintendo Switch Online." The use of physical cartridges remains unconfirmed.
