Gotham Knights Eyeing Nintendo Switch 2 Debut

A game developer's resume hints at a potential surprise: Gotham Knights could be heading to the Nintendo Switch 2. Let's delve into the details.

Gotham Knights: A Switch 2 Debut?

The Resume Revelation

On January 5th, 2025, YouTuber Doctre81 ignited speculation. Their report centers on a developer's resume, showcasing work on Gotham Knights for two unreleased platforms. This developer, with experience at QLOC (2018-2023) on titles like Mortal Kombat 11 and Tales of Vesperia, listed Gotham Knights as a project.

One platform is likely the original Nintendo Switch, given a past ESRB rating. However, performance issues on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S might have delayed or altered plans. The second unreleased platform strongly suggests the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2.

It's crucial to remember: Warner Bros. Games and Nintendo haven't confirmed anything. Consider this intriguing speculation, but not official news.

A Past Nintendo Switch Rating?

Initially released in October 2022 for PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X, Gotham Knights received an ESRB rating for the original Nintendo Switch, fueling speculation of a release. Some even anticipated a Nintendo Direct announcement. This rating, however, has since been removed from the ESRB website.

While a Switch release never materialized, the past rating, combined with the recent YouTube report, raises the possibility of a Switch 2 launch.
