Gotham Knights: A Potential Nintendo Switch 2 Title?

Recent speculation suggests Gotham Knights may be heading 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 former QLOC employee (2018-2023), lists several notable titles including Mortal Kombat 11 and Tales of Vesperia. Crucially, it also features Gotham Knights, specifying development for two currently unreleased platforms.

While one platform could potentially be the original Nintendo Switch (due to a since-removed ESRB rating), performance issues on the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S might hinder that possibility. The listing of a second unreleased platform strongly suggests the Nintendo Switch 2 as the more likely candidate.

It's important to note that this is purely speculative. Neither Warner Bros. Games nor Nintendo have made any official announcements.

Previous Switch Release Speculation and ESRB Rating Removal

Released in October 2022 for PS5, Windows, and Xbox Series X, Gotham Knights briefly appeared destined for the original Nintendo Switch following an ESRB rating. This fueled anticipation, with some predicting its appearance in a Nintendo Direct. However, the game never materialized on the original Switch, and the ESRB rating was subsequently removed. The recent speculation, coupled with the past ESRB listing, reignites the possibility of a Switch 2 release.

Nintendo Switch 2: Backwards Compatibility and Official Announcements

Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa, in a May 7, 2024, tweet, promised further details on the Switch's successor "within this fiscal year," ending March 2025. A subsequent tweet confirmed backwards compatibility with the original Switch, encompassing "Nintendo Switch software" and "Nintendo Switch Online." The use of physical cartridges remains unconfirmed. For more on Switch 2 backwards compatibility, check out our related article!
