Marvel Rivals May Be Headed to Nintendo Switch 2

Once considered impossible, a Nintendo Switch 2 release for Marvel Rivals now seems increasingly likely. NetEase previously dismissed a release on the original Switch due to technical limitations. However, the upcoming console could change everything.

At the DICE Summit, producer Weikang Wu revealed ongoing discussions with Nintendo. The key challenge remains ensuring consistently smooth performance on the new hardware. He stated, "The first-generation Switch simply didn’t have the power to deliver the gameplay experience we envisioned. But if the Switch 2 can handle it, we’re absolutely ready to bring the game to the platform."

Game director Thaddeus Sasser previously confirmed no immediate plans for a mobile version or an original Switch release. A Switch 2 port, if it happens, would necessitate a custom build optimized for the console's specifications.

The officially announced Nintendo Switch 2 is already attracting major industry players. Phil Spencer has suggested Xbox's interest in bringing its games to the platform, and Electronic Arts (EA) has also expressed support.

Meanwhile, Marvel Rivals continues to expand, with the Fantastic Four's arrival expected to significantly impact future updates.
