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

Gotham Knights: A Potential Nintendo Switch 2 Release?

Recent speculation suggests that Gotham Knights could be making its way to the Nintendo Switch 2. This intriguing possibility stems from a game developer's resume, as highlighted by YouTuber Doctre81 on January 5, 2025.

The resume, belonging to a developer with experience at QLOC (2018-2023), lists several notable titles including Mortal Kombat 11 and Tales of Vesperia. Significantly, it also includes Gotham Knights, specifying development for two unreleased platforms.

While one platform could potentially be the original Nintendo Switch (given a previous ESRB rating, since removed), performance issues on the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S cast doubt on this. The second unreleased platform strongly hints at the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2.

It's crucial to note that this is purely speculative; neither Warner Bros. Games nor Nintendo has made an official announcement. However, with the Nintendo Switch 2 being the only major unreleased console currently anticipated, the possibility remains intriguing.

Past Hints and the ESRB Rating

Initially released in October 2022 for PS5, Windows, and Xbox Series X, Gotham Knights briefly received an ESRB rating for the original Nintendo Switch, fueling speculation of a release. This rating has since been removed from the ESRB website. While a Switch release never materialized, the past rating, coupled with the recent YouTube report, adds weight to the Switch 2 possibility.

Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa announced on May 7, 2024, via Twitter, that further details on the Switch's successor would be revealed "within this fiscal year" (ending March 2025). He also confirmed backward compatibility with original Switch software and Nintendo Switch Online. The use of physical cartridges remains unconfirmed.
