In a surprising turn of events, recent rumors suggest that the highly anticipated open-world action RPG, Gotham Knights, which was released in 2022, might be making its way to the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2. Despite being rated for the original Nintendo Switch back in September 2023, the game never saw a release on the hybrid console. However, new evidence indicates that the Switch 2 could be the new home for this title.

A YouTuber named Doctre81 has recently uncovered a LinkedIn profile belonging to a Polish game developer who mentioned working on optimizing Gotham Knights for two "unreleased" platforms. Given that Nintendo's next-gen console is expected to be one of them, the excitement among fans is building. The speculation around the Switch 2 has been fueled by a wave of hardware leaks that have emerged recently, hinting at mass production of the console starting as early as late September 2024.

While Gotham Knights struggled with performance issues on platforms like the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, porting the game to the current-gen Switch proved to be a daunting task given its hardware limitations. This begs the question: did developers pivot to focus on a more suitable version for the Switch 2, which is rumored to be backward-compatible?

As of now, only a handful of titles have officially been announced for the Switch 2. Noteworthy games joining the lineup include the charming open-world RPG My Time at Evershine and the Persona-inspired Bestiario. Additionally, British developers, Playtonic Games, recently hinted at potentially releasing a remastered version of Yooka-Laylee for the new console.

Nintendo has kept fans guessing about the Switch 2, but they've assured that an official reveal will occur before the end of their fiscal year, which runs until March 31. Industry analysts predict that the console could hit the market in Q2 2025, and with it, we can expect an influx of third-party titles.
