A game developer's resume suggests Gotham Knights could be heading to the Nintendo Switch 2, sparking excitement among gamers. Let's delve into the details of this intriguing possibility.
Developer Resume Hints at Switch 2 Port
On January 5, 2025, YouTuber Doctre81 highlighted a game developer's resume listing Gotham Knights among projects developed for two unreleased platforms. This developer's previous credits include Mortal Kombat 11 and Tales of Vesperia, lending credibility to the claim. The resume shows the developer worked at QLOC from 2018 to 2023.
One platform is likely the original Nintendo Switch, given the game's prior ESRB rating for that console. However, performance issues on the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S might have hindered a Switch release. The listing of a second, unspecified unreleased platform strongly suggests a potential Switch 2 launch.
It's crucial to remember that neither Warner Bros. Games nor Nintendo has officially confirmed this. However, the Nintendo Switch 2 is the only major, unreleased console currently anticipated.
Past ESRB Rating and Unreleased Switch 2
Initially released in October 2022 for PS5, Windows, and Xbox Series X, Gotham Knights received an ESRB rating for the original Nintendo Switch, fueling speculation of a release. This rating, however, was later removed from the ESRB website.
While the original Switch port never materialized, the previous ESRB rating and the recent YouTube report suggest the possibility of a Switch 2 release.
Nintendo Switch 2: Backwards Compatibility and Official Announcements
Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa tweeted on May 7, 2024, promising more information about the Switch's successor "within this fiscal year" (ending March 2025). He later confirmed backwards compatibility with original Switch software and Nintendo Switch Online. The use of physical cartridges remains unconfirmed.
