Gotham Knights Might be One of Nintendo Switch 2’s Third-Party Titles

A game developer's resume hints at a potential surprise: Gotham Knights could be headed to the Nintendo Switch 2. Let's delve into this intriguing possibility!

Gotham Knights: A Nintendo Switch 2 Debut?

A Developer's Resume Sparks Speculation

On January 5th, 2025, YouTuber Doctre81 ignited speculation about Gotham Knights' arrival on the Nintendo Switch 2. The source? A game developer's resume, showcasing past work on Gotham Knights for two yet-to-be-released platforms.

This developer, employed by QLOC between 2018 and 2023, listed various projects including Mortal Kombat 11 and Tales of Vesperia. The key detail? Gotham Knights, specifically noted as being developed for two unannounced consoles.

One platform could be the original Nintendo Switch, given the game's past ESRB rating for the system. However, performance issues on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S might have hindered a Switch port. The mention of *another* unreleased platform strongly suggests the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2.

While neither Warner Bros. Games nor Nintendo have confirmed this, the evidence is compelling. With the Nintendo Switch 2 the only major unreleased console currently anticipated, the possibility is certainly intriguing.

Past ESRB Rating and Subsequent Removal

Initially released in October 2022 for PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X, Gotham Knights reportedly received an ESRB rating for the original Nintendo Switch, fueling speculation of a release and potential Nintendo Direct appearance. However, this rating has since been removed from the ESRB website.

The absence of a Switch release doesn't negate the possibility of a Switch 2 version. The past rating, coupled with the recent YouTube report, adds weight to this theory.

Nintendo Switch 2: Backwards Compatibility and Official Announcements

Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa tweeted on May 7th, 2024, promising further details on the Switch's successor "within this fiscal year," ending March 2025. A subsequent tweet confirmed the Switch 2's backwards compatibility with original Switch software and Nintendo Switch Online. However, the use of physical cartridges remains unconfirmed.
