Marvel Rivals Rumored for Nintendo Switch 2

Once considered a distant dream, the idea of Marvel Rivals making its way to the Nintendo Switch 2 now appears increasingly plausible. While NetEase had previously ruled out a release on the original Switch due to technical limitations, the upcoming Switch successor could potentially alter this stance—quite literally.

During the DICE Summit, producer Weikang Wu shed light on ongoing discussions with Nintendo. The primary challenge lies in ensuring that the game runs smoothly and consistently on the new hardware:

"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."

Earlier, game director Thaddeus Sasser had clarified that there were no immediate plans for a mobile version or an original Switch release. Should a Switch 2 port come to fruition, it would necessitate a custom build tailored to the new hardware's capabilities.

With the Nintendo Switch 2 officially on the horizon, major players in the gaming industry are showing strong support for the platform. Phil Spencer has hinted at Xbox's interest in bringing its titles to the system, and Electronic Arts (EA) has also expressed its enthusiasm.

Meanwhile, Marvel Rivals is gearing up for further expansion, with two members of the Fantastic Four set to revolutionize the battlefield in upcoming updates.
